You only get one first impression. Subtlety can wait.
An entrance should tell you something about the home you’re about to enter.
At our Upper Kangaroo project, Australian botanical wallpaper and colours borrowed from the landscape draw the outside in. Pattern and texture give the entrance its own presence—and leave you curious about the rooms beyond.
Colour defines the transition from steel blue in the bedroom passage to warm earth brown in the living spaces. A vintage cabinet sits quietly against the brown, its rich timber bringing a touch of country-house nostalgia to the contemporary architecture, while a handmade wall light echoes the texture of the landscape beyond.
These are the combinations I love: colour with purpose, pieces with history, and a little unexpected company.
And this is only the entrance. Utopia Goods Dulux Australia Robert Gordon Interiors RACHEL DONATH
