Newstead Interior Designers & Decorators

RED HILL RESIDENCE - FROM TIRED SPACE TO SOPHISTICATED AMBIENCE...OUR BEFORE AND AFTERS!

FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN...SPRING HILL RESIDENCE

In the realms of Interior Design, flexibility is the name of the game at all times.

We were thrilled to be contacted by clients who had previously enlisted the workshop to craft a beautiful Art Deco style dining table for their Spring Hill residence.

Happy with the result and service, this couple with a love of fine art asked the design team of Colette and Cathie Venardos to lend a hand with their next dilemma.

"Both upstairs and downstairs living areas were starting to get a bit tired, and our lovely clients wanted to create more of a rich, inviting space with a moody atmosphere, whilst also complimenting their extensive art collection", says Cathie.  They also had some great quality existing furniture and so this particular job involved retaining those whilst working in new pieces to compliment.

...UPSTAIRS BEFORE...

               

The home had great architecture, and our clients had a penchant for Art Deco style. Cathie and Colette got to work taking into consideration the client wishlist, existing pieces and textures and architecture.

Firstly the upstairs rug was moved downstairs.

The perfect rug for the space was sourced, and created a starting point.

....AND AFTER!...

The armchair had great structure and lines, so was re-upholstered in a rich, luxurious fabric.

Boston Armchair in quality leather custom made by Charcoal Interiors.  Coffee Table custom made by the Charcoal Interiors local workshop.

Warmer tones in blues and greys were introduced.

"Working with brick can be tricky sometimes", says Cathie "So we softened the space with warmer tones in blues and greys"  Over the fireplace the addition of a stunning hand carved mirror sourced from France truly adds the wow factor.

There was a bit of a swap around with the coffee table and side tables from upstairs being moved downstairs and utilised well there.

A new coffee table was crafted, curtains added and the existing ones used in another bedroom as they were still in great condition.

(see more of our projects here)

Existing upstairs sofas and armchairs were re-upholstered, which is the beauty of buy quality furniture from the start.

...DOWNSTAIRS...BEFORE....

...AND AFTER!...

Downstairs the sofa and armchairs were replaced by new custom made (in Australia) product in a beautiful  colours and textures now lending itself to the mood and freshness that the client had expected.  A custom made ottoman looks great and adds to the comfort factor.

"With a lot of hard surfaces (tiles) it was important to keep it light and soft, so beautiful sheer drapes were a welcome addition" says Cathie

This is a space, previously avoided and now, utilised as a media/reading room/sanctuary.  Welcoming, fresh, and conducive to relaxation and enjoying the satisfaction of a long work week.

And so, what was once a home that was feeling a little tired is now oozing a more sophisticated ambience.

RAISING THE CURTAIN ON OUR DRAPERY SERVICE! CHECK OUT OUR LATEST PROJECTS.

RAISING THE CURTAIN ON OUR DRAPERY SERVICE

Drapes can really make a room, but there are a few vital aspects which need to be considered before getting started.

1. Get some professional assistance - this saves expensive mistakes.

2. Choose a quality fabric - your curtains need to last and withstand the elements.

3. Consider its purpose - decorative or functional?....or both!?

At Charcoal Interiors we offer a superb, quality drapery service.

We take you expertly and effortlessly through the process. From advice on fabric selections (you can choose from a huge selection of quality imported and local fabrics) to expert installation by our team with many years in the industry.  

This week, we take you through two recent jobs, where the finished product not only looked terrific, but our clients were thrilled with the end result.

ELEGANCE IN TEXTURE

This beautiful home is one of our latest design projects, and there will be a further blog story in the coming weeks showcasing our work.  

Beautiful in Blue-Grey

In this particular case, the clients left it to the design team of Colette and Cathie to choose the fabrics.

Imported Italian Sheers in Soft Mocha Grey

  After considering the existing furniture and rug in both areas, the girls chose a beautiful blue-grey fabric with very soft patterning detail for upstairs and a soft sheer in mocha grey for the downstairs area.

PRIVACY, FUNCTIONALITY AND A YEARNING FOR UNINTERRUPTED SLEEP!

Our client selected a beautiful fresh linen look after seeing curtains we had installed for her friend.  And so, she came into the showroom and chose something she really loved, giving her own personal stamp to the room.

After trying to sleep in a light-filled room, these shiftworking clients came to us for solutions and the result was not only functional but also gracefully stylish. 

Originally, timber blinds covered this space, but as there were doors that opened out onto a deck area from the bedroom, it made access inconvenient.  Timber blinds also did not give the kind of ambience required for a good nights sleep with too much broken light filtering through into the room.  And so, how to create a soft, fresh look which the bedroom favoured without appearing too heavy and oppressive.

A quality block-out fabric sits unobtrusively behind the sheer for use when necessary.

We received a message from the clients today - "Thank you so much for organising our curtains.  We love them!"   

And so with elegance and functionality aside...we think hubby is just happy to be finally getting some decent sleep!

All drapes are installed by the Charcoal Interiors professional hanging service.

It is important for our clients to feel like they are part of the process and not just some number waiting amongst hundreds of others for their product and service.  Our service is personal and hands-on.  We cater to Brisbane and regional areas.  Contact us for more details.  For quality curtains, drapes and blinds including a superior hanging service, Charcoal Interiors is your one stop destination.
