Grand beauty
The owners of this 1920s home in Sydney’s east were looking to amp up the excitement at the front entrance. They wanted something bold but in keeping with the grand scale and elegance of the architecture; the brilliant fuchsia colour on the wall did the trick. Next they turned to interior designer Kate Bell and landscape designer Adam Robinson to dress the space. Kate selected a Lincoln Brooks day bed with cushions in Fig Leaf fabric from Peter Dunham Textiles, a striking foil for the wall colour. Adam opted for oversized pots planted with Rhapis excelsa at either end of the day bed, a nod to the strong symmetrical notes found throughout the property. Kate Bell Design; www.katebelldesign.com.
