Plascon House Tour: A Cool, Classic Melbourne Retreat

An old house renovated, the brief for this stylish Melbourne retreat was simple – maintain the heritage of the home but add to it all the latest design elements to elevate the style of this beautiful abode.

As a result, many of the heritage features of the home remain intact, such as the front bedroom and the bay window, but the rest of the home underwent huge changes to create a light-filled, modern and classic interior.

The choice of neutral colours and natural materials enhance the simple elegance of this home. Various artwork and striking furniture pop against this neutral background. A mix of textures and soft, cool colours, as seen in this bedroom, bring depth to this abode, creating an inviting and homely space that is perfectly on trend.

Statement black pieces create contrast in the kitchen against a white interior space. From the choice of bar stools to the beautiful pendants above the kitchen island, this space feels classic with ample natural lighting that pours in through adjacent doors and windows. We also love the streamlined choice of kitchen cabinets in a crisp white tone for a beautifully minimalist, clean and simple space.

The kitchen also forms part of the massive open plan area which further includes a dining and living room that opens up to the garden and outdoor deck. White French doors open up to the stunning patio area – the ideal space for entertainment on a beautiful summer evening in Melbourne!

Another hero in this home is the floor. The light shade of the wood merges beautifully with the grey exterior and bright open space. In some light, they’re akin to driftwood and add to the relaxed feel of this property.
