A Bohemian Beachside Apartment

As we covered in last week’s blog, ‘Mixing Old & New for Stunning Interiors’, style fusion is such a rich theme to mine for some interiors inspiration.

Here is a Sydney beachside apartment by Nest Designs that combines several trends for a carefree, bohemian look that is modern and homely - but what makes it work so well?

Firstly, the bold colour from the wall art to the carpets, from the cushions to the vases, colour is everywhere. However, while it would be fair to describe this interior as multi-coloured, its strength lies in the clever theming of each room.

Take the living room, with its blue and white carpet and cushions - even the vintage wooden coffee table has a touch of battered blue about it.

This gives the room a cool hue, but the pink touches and the stronger tones of the blue and red artwork help to give it extra interest and vibrancy.

The unusual pieces sourced for the apartment provide its unique feel - just look at those delicate cages on the dining table against a backdrop of bright modern art, or the flamingo wall canvas in the bedroom teamed with a fur throw and yellow bedside lamp.

This, along with the fusion of styles (Moroccan influences mixing with floral themes), ensures the scheme remains a treasure trove of pieces just waiting to be spotted and admired.

Clashing yet complementary, the rooms work because of the neutral background; with white walls and wooden floors the order of the day, the design is never too busy and balances well.
