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

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.
What detail stands out to you first? 🤎
