The space
I designed this apartment in line with my own unique interior style. A combination of southern European influences, Industrial and Mid-Century Modern pieces. In a mostly monochrome colour scheme with a blue accent and hints of red and pink.
The first bedroom is a celebration of my favourite colour scheme. Black, white and grey. Highly textural with linen and wool bedding. Terrazzo side tables as a sculputral point of interest and a minimal orb table lamp. The abstract art is a focal point above the French Provinical inspired iron bed.
The second bedroom has similar elements applied differently. This time the colour scheme is inspired by the abstract art with a navy base and pops of pinks. Which directed the choice in bed side table. Industrial style comes through the table lamp with a similar French Provincial inspired iron bed. With all the same textural elements.
Wow factor is found in the bathroom which is adorned with a French toile style wallpaper in an ancient Greek myth motif. A highly personal choice given my cultural heritage. This and the pendant light distinguishes the bathroom.
In the bathroom you'll find quality towels, hand wash, and body wash.
The laundry carries the colours and Industrial styling in a functional space for your convenience. There is also a laundromat 5 minute walk from the apartment.
The kitchen is inspired by Spain and Italy. The tiles on the facade are blue distressed. I chose a white cement look countertop to carry through the Industrial styling. What I love about Industrial styling and southern European influences is a distressed look.
A fully equipped kitchen, including Spanish olive oil, dried bay leaves.
For the sliding door I retrofitted horizontal bars to create the loft style windows we see in NYC warehouses. This is an important element to create a cohesive indoor/outdoor experience, given the view is mostly industrial.
Softening the masculine Industrial styling is linen sheer curtains, look closely and you'll notice they're hung from rods that resemble pipes. A French cafe style outdoor setting with a similar pattern to the hooks in the bathroom.
In the living room you will find a range of authentic vintage pieces. The black French vintage basin, the Mid-Century Modern magazine rack, the red Wendy Jones enamel pendant.
Notice the pattern on the solid oak dining table replicating the square tiles on the counter facade. With classic French bistro dining chairs in rattan for a textural element.
Carrying through the high textural components found in the bedrooms, the living area has leather, linen, rattan, jute, cotton.
The pink colour on the back of the front door is inspired by my sabbatical in Barcelona where I was blown away by a front door with pink ornamentation and the crucifix is hand made by a dear friend.
The European/Industrial/Mid-Century Modern elements of my apartment are the perfect setting for your stay in Melbourne. Australia's most European city, famed for its love of both Industrial and Mid-Century Modern architecture and interior design.
