SEE THIS HOUSE: CHIC WAREHOUSE LIVING!

August 9, 2010

Living room in a converted warehouse with dark floor, white sofa, round white coffee table, a black and white Madeline Weinrib rug, and two purple ikat upholstered Louis XIV chairs
The living room of home in a 20th century warehouse in Melbourne, Australia features a playful mix of textile patterns and colors. (above)

I like this home in a three story Melbourne, Australia warehouse. The home is owned by a textile designer and her family. With all of the prints, patterns and wonderful fabrics at play in this home, it is clear that someone who knows textiles owns this place.

Oh…did I mention the super duper fab high ceilings…? 🙂

I think my favorite room is the living room. Which is yours.

    Honestly, I could never live there. It’s too white! And high ceilings haven’t a shred of coziness.

    I dream of that library wall, complete with ladder. Ahhhh!

    I hated every bit of this space. In the living room only one lamp for a sofa and three chairs. The overwhelming book wall so close to the table. The voluminous and silly grey curtain behind the bed. The messy looking open storage in the kitchen. UGH!

    I agree that warehouse tall ceilings can be drafty and uninviting but how could you not love that library wall. Forget the dining room table I would just make it my library. Also love the black and white rugs.

    Interesting comments! I have to say while these interiors are not the most cozy I do like the cleanliness of the white and I dream and one day shall have a floor to ceiling library wall and in my opinion, ceilings cannot be too high (the #1 bonus to loft living)! Thanks for sharing this quirky fun warehouse.

    How about airy, clean, and elegant? The painting is absolutely exquisite against the crisp white wall. The pairing of the floral chair and the modern black and white rug – magnificent!

    Where I live (burbs of LA), very few people enjoy a modern-eclectic, minimalist design, so I’m not surprised by the comments.

    I absolutely love every single little thing in this house, for me it has the wow factor. I can’t understand how anyone wouldn’t like it, but maybe like someone said it is because of different tastes in different countries (I am in london uk). I love the bedrooms in particular (the grey silk wall against the orange bed is amazing), then the kitchen and dining room equally (so cool and homely, i love love love them), then the front room and bathroom. I love the front room, but i think that the chairs are a little bit too small. I love the artwork arrangement between the 2 windows, and i will definately be doing this in my home. Oooh, and almost forgot the cozy little nook, i love the powder blue with the black white and yellow, its fabulous.

    I like the all of the furniture is nicely coordinated, its like each room has its own colour theme. I am also a fan of high ceilings, these look very nice. However like alot of the other people here I have to say, the walls are just too plain. Still love the furniture though.
    Thanks for the post

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
