DON’T LEAVE YOUR

BEDROOM IN SNOOZE MODE

Too often the bedroom is an afterthought

• many homeowners run out of steam by
  this point. But not Lauren, who realised it
  had to continue many of the themes
  running throughout the house, such as
  the use of colour, pattern and texture.
  Lauren asked weaver Maryanne Moodie
  to create a chunky, textural wall hanging
  that echoed the colours of the living room
  rug and sofa. The linen, not surprisingly,
  is from her own company – no white
  sheets here. Everything is a continuation
  of what’s elsewhere in her home.

RETHINK YOUR DECOR

TO SUIT YOUR SETTING

A long way from her previous hometown

of Melbourne, Lauren did away with the

city-smart decor that she’d used there

and adopted a fresher approach more

fitting for the lush Queensland landscape.

The surrounding gums, grevilleas and

palms inspired the colour and textural

palette that runs throughout Lauren’s

home. She also reconfigured the deck

area, with a customised dining table

and outdoor lighting, so she and Andrew

can entertain outside, day and night,

in all weathers. A

Sleep sanctuary “I never

get tired of styling beds,” Lauren

admits, so it’s only natural that her

own bed is a colourful masterpiece

featuring I Love Linen bedlinen.

Favourite finds The custom-

made outdoor dining table

displays some of Lauren’s

treasured pieces, including a tile

bought at a Sicilian flea market,

carafe by Normann Copenhagen

and a vase made by a friend.
