Blue Notes by Golden | Living space

Photographer: Sharyn Cairns

Golden was engaged to update this period-style home with new, custom joinery and furniture for a six-piece, music-loving family. The updates – all minimalist lines, bold shapes and grand scales – offer modern counterpoints to the original Edwardian architecture.

Music threads through the house with clever, custom joinery accommodating oft-used instruments in the music room; and in the television-free living room, his-and-hers’ reading chairs and an oversized Molteni sofa accommodate endless listening sessions around a cherished vinyl record player.

The stately scale of the Northcote house is played up with a regal colour palette which turns blue into midnight, indigo, teal and denim – and Monet-inspired lilac, as chosen by the children.
