Learn what Lucy says about her favourite hand-picked images featured below and how to ‘achieve the look’ using accent colours, partnering textures and furniture styles and combining colour combinations.

Get The Look

The owners of this compact home in Melbourne’s Seddon were keen to create a distinctly Australian aesthetic, using a colour palette of desert orange and gumleaf grey / green throughout their home. Warm orange tones are often overlooked, but can be the perfect solution where bold colour is needed without losing a sense of lightness.

In this case, a bright persimmon tone has been used adjacent to floor to ceiling windows - filling the living area with a summery glow, year round.

There’s no doubt that the easiest place to experiment with brave colour is in a child’s bedroom – and they’ll love you for it! In this case a neutral taupe with just a hint of warmth is the perfect base for an eye-catching wall mural, incorporating eye-popping raspberry accents.

A winning colour combination!

Get The Look

The idea that dark tones make small spaces feel smaller couldn’t be further from the truth. Often, small spaces such as a bathroom, laundry or walk in robe can be the perfect spots for a deep, masculine hue – and charcoal grey is always a popular choice.

The science behind this thinking is that the edges of the room become less distinct where walls and ceilings are treated in a dark, shadowy tone, and the scale of the space becomes more abstract. Deep grey is also a comforting treatment for the rooms we occupy first thing in the morning!
