Interior Design, Blackburn.

Entrance, Formal Living, Kitchen, Living, Dining.

The Location:

Interior Design in Blackburn, Melbourne. 

The Brief:

In April 2022, my client approached me to assist from the early stages of their build. The project faced delays due to volume builders going under during COVID-19, making it a stressful process. Despite this, my clients remained optimistic and were a joy to work with.

We focused on the design for the entrance, formal living, and open-plan kitchen-living-dining area, highlighted by an incredible void from the first floor.

My clients desired a modern, timeless, minimal, and sophisticated design, suitable for a family and ideal for entertaining guests. They wanted a neutral palette with a touch of colour, applied in a luxurious manner.

 

Overview:

  • Overview of floorplan and lighting plan
  • Spatial planning through listed spaces
  • Kitchen selections, fixtures and fittings
  • Textured fireplace design with concrete window seats
  • Window treatments, wall and floor selections
  • Furniture and decor fit out
  • Custom sofa layout with custom fabric choice
  • Custom design rug for the formal space 
  • Art commission specifically for this client

 

The Process:

I first visited this property at the frame stage and was immediately impressed by the generous floor plan and striking double-height ceiling, setting the tone for a modern interior design style.

My clients had a vision but needed assistance in bringing it all together. This project became a wonderful collaboration, merging their taste with professional design guidance for a spectacular outcome.

Black serves as the grounding neutral, creating a consistent theme throughout the home. Upon entering through modern black doors, guests are greeted by a charcoal wall feature and a striking brown vein marble console table.

Facing the entry, the formal living area creates a showstopping experience with sculptural pieces and a unique custom-designed rug featuring a hand-drawn scribble by their youngest child for a personal touch. A shiraz-coloured armchair adds a vibrant pop of colour to the Black and White concept.

Moving past the black staircase, a black dining table paired with sculptural moss green velvet chairs creates a sense of cohesion. The fabric of these chairs is also used for two sofa cushions.

The living area, overlooked from the first floor, features a stunning textured fireplace that draws the eye upward. Sheer curtains soften the look and light within this bright space, and the custom-made sofa, with its gentle curve and slightly open back, allows the outdoor scenery to blend seamlessly with the interior.

Finally, the modern kitchen showcases a simplistic Chifley profile design on the joinery, Cloudburst Caesarstone benchtops, and a black color palette, firmly establishing the home’s modern direction.

Google Review:

“Bright side interiors/Tracey is so amazing, I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s not only professional and her designs amazing, She is also such a lovely personality to work with. She is so understanding and goes the extra length to make her customers happy. In my case I had several non standard requirements, one of which bring my requirement to be more involved in the design and selection of fabric and Furniture and Tracey was not only accomodating, we had heaps of fun doing it. We have had so many unanticipated issues going on with our Building project, and during it all, Tracey has been so understanding and kind. If I ever I have another interior design project planned Tracey is the only designer I will hire. I am so happy with her interior design for our home, I cant wait to see it come to life.”
