SOFT TOUCH
15An under-used billiard room in Sydney has become a chic living area that’s also welcoming for grandchildren. Against white-painted walls, energy and colour have been introduced through print textiles and other vibrant accents, which chime with the artwork and leadlights. Positioned on both sides of the fireplace, bookshelves help to create balance and offer crucial storage. “This is a family room in the truest sense,” say the owners. “It’s bright and light and we feel happy when we walk into it.”
