Paddington Project by C+M Studio


The excellent Est magazine has unveiled an inspiring redesign of a Sydney terrace house.  This C+M Studio project successfully converted a small worker's cottage into a tranquil, minimalist and sophisticated residence.  This is yet further demonstration of marrying limited space with practical and stylish living.  It is a marriage that many modern urban dwellers aspire to and they would do well to take note of this high-quality project.

To round-off the redesign,  C+M Studio partnered with leading Australian furniture retailer,  Living Edge, along with artist Sebastian Goldspink, to create Paddington Project in which some displayed furniture and home wares are offered for sale.

This not the first time the Sydney-based C+M Studio has featured on this blog.  Regular readers may recall their Cross Street project, see here, where they filled the newly renovated Cross Street apartment,  with incredible artwork, furniture and home wares available for purchase.

The almost clinical pairing of pale wood and white interiors lends lightness to the terraced house without any loss of warmth and comfort.







Abetted by a high ceiling and an open transition to a neatly orientated backyard, the careful use of interiors and restrained furniture makes the space appear more spacious.









It is worth noting the colour palette throughout the home is essentially reduced to white, pale wood, greys with shots of copper.  This appears to be in keeping with the style direction of  C+M Studio which focuses on pared back motifs and the use of natural materials.  In dressing up the small space, the constrained use of colour enables the house to look uncluttered and elegant.

Halcyon House

Halcyon House, Cabarita Beach, Northern New South Wales, Australia

The CMID office has been busy over these last few weeks hence the blog has been quiet on postings. So here is a summery and colourful one to finish off the week.
While researching for inspiration, I came across this new hotel on the shores of New South Wales, Australia. It's called Halcyon House and this place has really got me into a summery mood.
This original 1960's beach motel has been restored into a luxurious one-of-a-kind boutique hotel. The owners, sisters, Siobhan and Elisha Bickle worked with interior designer, Anna Spiro of Black and Spiro to create this unique hotel that feels like a stylish home away from home. Each bedroom is individual with unique one off lights, antiques, upholstered walls and bed heads. If you love blue and white, this is the place for you.

Colour from Inside Out


The cover of the April issue of Inside Out caught my eye the other day and it was because of the lovely colours I could see popping out. Inside was this feature by stylist, Julia Green sharing her tips and advice to incorporate colour in the home with paint. I like that she keeps a predominate neutral scheme with shots of colours coming through in furnishings and details. "Think about how colours make you feel and paint accordingly - I'm soothed by soft colour, and introduce  bright tones in measured pops only." Great advice! Read more about each room here or even better find the magazine. Have a great weekend all.
