RETRO FORWARD
Orla Keily ‘Rhododendron’ wallpaper (left) is the ultimate nod to the retro aesthetic that runs through this family home in Melbourne. It works beautifully with the original 1970s cabinetry, a feature that’s both eye-catching and immensely practical for 11-year-old Billee. Bespoke elements have been paired with off-the-rack pieces, such as an Ikea desk chair, to keep the budget in check. Gorgeous cinnamon-hued linen and a quilt made from embroidered Indian textiles add a softer, tactile edge. “The room’s totally unique and has a vibrant, happy vibe going on,” says Katie Graham, Billee’s mother and founder of The Family Love Tree homewares retail store. thefamilylovetree.com.au
