SITTING PRETTY
Two underwhelming spaces once used as a passageway through this Sydney home now form a modern salon space that progresses from sitting area to dining and outdoors. “Cohesive and collected” was the brief to interior designer Brendan Wong. In response, he built up a layered palette that appears to have been curated and assembled carefully over time. The living area is a textural haven, graced with a custom silk rug, velvet-covered armchairs and reflective coffee tables. On the other side of the doorway, a sofa placed against the table allows this area to be used for relaxed cocktails or coffee. “With the adjacent French doors open, it’s a favourite place to sit,” says Brendan.
