The vision for this expansive coastal 4-bedroom home was to transform it into a sophisticated and welcoming haven for short-term rental purposes. With the goal of comfortably accommodating 8 to 10 people, we curated the space with a generous sofa and a dining table surrounded by ample chairs to gather the whole crew. The house already possessed a neutral palette and stunning natural Spotted Gum floors, providing a solid foundation on which to build.
Rather than opting for a literal coastal theme, we took a layered approach to create a warm and inviting coastal appeal. We introduced a richly textured variation of warm neutrals, off-whites, powder and navy blues, greys, and ochre colors through carefully selected furniture and furnishings. This combination of tones and textures imbued the spaces with depth and character, evoking a sense of comfort and relaxation. Organic and botanical shapes were thoughtfully incorporated across various surfaces, adding softness and a touch of whimsy to the environment.
In addition to the decor, we were also responsible for sourcing every item that would fill the home, from pots, crockery, cutlery, and utensils to towels, board games, and entertainment options. We even went the extra mile, ensuring the inclusion of a spa for the adults and a cubby house for the kids in the backyard. The attention to detail and comprehensive approach resulted in a home that feels soulful and truly provides a haven away from home.
Since the property has been opened for rentals, the managers have received rave reviews from guests who have had the pleasure of experiencing this remarkable space. The combination of sophisticated design, thoughtful furnishings, and comprehensive amenities has garnered praise and left a lasting impression on all who have had the opportunity to stay.
