This Carlton North townhouse is a home bursting with personality, starting with the striking blue wren mural that graces its facade. We approached the transformation with care, giving each space a fresh and thoughtful update that perfectly balances function and style. From the galley kitchen with hand-stained oak cabinetry and emerald quartzite benchtops to the charming pink powder room with its brass basin, every detail was crafted to balance style and function. Textures, colour, and bespoke touches like hand-blown glass lighting and silk wallpaper bring warmth and individuality, creating a home that feels welcoming and delightfully unique.

The galley-style kitchen is both practical and elegant. Light-reflective surfaces brighten the space, while clean-lined cabinetry with hand-fluted detailing introduces texture and subtle sophistication. Luxurious material choices like emerald quartzite elevate the design, and smart storage keeps everything beautifully organised. Every detail works in harmony to create a kitchen that is not only functional but also an effortless joy to be in.

The powder room proves that even the smallest spaces can deliver big impact. Hidden behind sliding doors adorned with striking wallpaper is a cleverly integrated European laundry—discreet yet easily accessible. The highlight of the room is the custom vanity, featuring hand-crafted fluted detailing and a stunning brass basin that adds warmth and a touch of glamour. It’s a space designed to be as functional as it is fabulous, showing how considered design can turn even the most compact spaces into something truly special.
