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

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.

This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there.
A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
