The Outcome
The client’s vision was to modernise their beach house that was originally built in the 1920’s and make it a bespoke holiday home.
The goal was to retain the heritage of the building but give it a contemporary and luxurious feel. The design had to create a feel of sophistication whilst also feeling relaxed.
To achieve a contemporary look, new furniture, paint work decor and texture was introduced. Oversized artwork, a cohesive colour palette, modern lighting and black accents were added through out.
The end result is a beautiful home full of modern style and old-world charm, perfect for the small coastal location of Patonga Beach.


‘It was such a great experience working with Michelle.
From the start of the project to the finish, she went above and beyond to help us with colour choices, furniture and decor selections all the way to styling our home.
We’re so pleased with the finished spaces and all our friends and neighbours comment how much they like it as well.
I can’t thank Michelle enough for everything she has done for us. It’s been a pleasure working with her and we’re very happy with the end result.’
