Living Room Design Photos with Light Hardwood Floors and Brown Floor

A light-filled living room featuring a curved boucle sectional sofa, layered with warm-toned cushions and paired with nested timber coffee tables. Custom built-in joinery with a window seat maximises function while maintaining a minimalist, cozy aesthetic.

Hood House is a playful protector that respects the heritage character of Carlton North whilst celebrating purposeful change. It is a luxurious yet compact and hyper-functional home defined by an exploration of contrast: it is ornamental and restrained, subdued and lively, stately and casual, compartmental and open. For us, it is also a project with an unusual history. This dual-natured renovation evolved through the ownership of two separate clients. Originally intended to accommodate the needs of a young family of four, we shifted gears at the eleventh hour and adapted a thoroughly resolved design solution to the needs of only two. From a young, nuclear family to a blended adult one, our design solution was put to a test of flexibility. The result is a subtle renovation almost invisible from the street yet dramatic in its expressive qualities. An oblique view from the northwest reveals the playful zigzag of the new roof, the rippling metal hood. This is a form-making exercise that connects old to new as well as establishing spatial drama in what might otherwise have been utilitarian rooms upstairs. A simple palette of Australian hardwood timbers and white surfaces are complimented by tactile splashes of brass and rich moments of colour that reveal themselves from behind closed doors. Our internal joke is that Hood House is like Lazarus, risen from the ashes. We’re grateful that almost six years of hard work have culminated in this beautiful, protective and playful house, and so pleased that Glenda and Alistair get to call it home.

A sophisticated living room that blends classic and contemporary elements, featuring a deep navy tufted velvet sofa styled with patterned cushions for added texture. Soft lighting from a sleek table lamp creates a warm and inviting ambiance, while a mix of framed artwork adds character to the neutral walls. A blush-toned ottoman introduces a subtle pop of color, complemented by a reflective glass coffee table that enhances the room’s light and openness. Thoughtfully layered textures and refined details create a polished yet comfortable space ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

A contemporary home design for clients that featured south-facing balconies maximising the sea views, whilst also creating a blend of outdoor and indoor rooms. The spacious and light interior incorporates a central staircase with floating stairs and glazed balustrades. Revealed wood beams against the white contemporary interior, along with the wood burner, add traditional touches to the home, juxtaposing the old and the new. Photographs: Alison White
