Contemporary Living Room Design Photos with Light Hardwood Floors and Beige Floor

Cliff Residence — Essendon, Victoria · 2025 A full renovation centred on reworking the internal plan to improve spatial clarity and connection. Existing walls were removed to open the relationship between kitchen, living and dining, allowing light and movement to flow more freely through the home. Joinery and openings were carefully aligned to create a more balanced and legible arrangement. Materials were selected to support this clarity. Stone and timber elements introduce warmth and depth, while maintaining a restrained and consistent palette throughout. The result is a calm, cohesive interior that feels considered, intuitive and enduring. Interior Renovation · 2025

Open plan living area created through complete internal reconfiguration of a Toorak residence. The renovation removed compartmentalised rooms to establish spatial clarity and stronger connection to the rear extension and garden. A restrained material palette and integrated fireplace detail reinforce a calm, cohesive interior architecture approach.

Salon de style haussmannien avec moulures élégantes au plafond et aux murs. La cheminée centrale est mise en valeur par des bibliothèques aériennes en bois et laiton doré.

La parete che divide la stanza da letto con il soggiorno diventa una libreria attrezzata. I pannelli scorrevoli a listelli creano diverse configurazioni: nascondono il televisore, aprono o chiudono l'accesso al ripostiglio ed alla zona notte.

The brief for this project was to create a multifunctional space that included a kitchen, dining and living area. The property did not benefit from a large garden so it was important that the depth of the extension did not significantly compromise the outdoor space. We therefore extended the kitchen into the rear reception room, which created a much larger open planned area and allowed for the installation of a small WC. Open planning the kitchen to the rear reception room also provided this area with some much need natural light via the skylights and doors in the new extension. The fact the extension was not excessively deep enabled us to obtain planning permission for a good external wall height, which is complimented internally by the vaulted ceiling. The back of the extension has been finished with a large set of slim profile sliding doors, providing uninterrupted views of the beautifully designed garden. The final result is a light and airy space which accommodates the kitchen, living and dining areas that the client required.
