A huge thank you to the team at Hockingstuart for choosing our design to feature in Red magazine! We were super happy to see one of our interiors on the cover of Issue 14 last May. Therefore here are some interior design ideas that can inspire you.

The Entrance Way
Hockingstuart chose the living area and entrance way of a South Melbourne interior to be featured on the cover of their May 2016 edition. For this space, we worked closely with the homeowners to help create the exact look they were going for with their home.
The owners wanted a home that was modern but unique. To create this, we used modern furnishings with a few eclectic touches.
In the living area, we used dark furniture for simplicity, comfort and classic style. A geometric patterned rug in deep blue was added to create a subtle touch of colour. We chose the living area table in a raw, textured wood to offset the modern aspects of the room. Also, we chose a John Martono art piece to suit the colour palette and add a point of interest.
Our favourite part to design was the entrance way. The owners decided they wanted something simple but bold. So we used a statement Kazari art piece to add a burst of colour and a little artistry to the space. To compliment it, we found an antique Chinese table in emerald green.
We continued the modern feel with a few touches of on trend metallic. A simple bookshelf adds a sense of home, as well as concealing a hidden television.
This was a three level terrace that was entirely reconfigured, so it was an exciting space to design. At Spinzi we like to look at people’s personal style and reflect this in our interiors. One of the owners was Italian, so we wanted to emulate that with the decor.
Simple Elegance
The owners aim with this space was to keep things relatively simple, with a focus on unique pieces. To achieve this, we paired modern pieces with Italian and Chinese antiques, juxtaposing the old with the new.
This project was done on a relatively low budget. Therefore it was fun to get creative and find a way to achieve the homeowners desired look.
Based in South Melbourne, this home ended up being one of our favourite interiors. We were super excited to be chosen for the cover of red magazine – thanks Hockingstuart!
