Property Developer Ricky Dal Bianco has breathed new life into this North Manly property, with an eye for detail he has taken a virtually uninhabitable house and rebuilt it into a bright and airy family home that flows effortlessly from a large formal living space to the family friendly kitchen area that open out to a large deck and freshly landscaped garden.

The stylists at Furnish and Finish worked with the ambiance of this home to create a smart, modern look for a family who enjoy a relaxed and care free lifestyle and love to entertain.

Chic & Cutting Edge

This perfectly designed four bedroom ultra-modern terrace house located in Marrickville was in need of some soft furnishings and complimentary furniture.

Designed and meticulously built by Eddie Ramia from Seaside Property Developments.

This property showcases incredible state of the art finishes and fittings and conveys a quality rarely seen in either older or more modern houses.

Senior Stylist Samantha White from Furnish and Finish was asked to furnish and style the development for sale. Samantha continued the theme of ultra-modern styling throughout, bringing the brand new property to life whilst creating a chic and inviting abode for potential buyers.

Accents of contemporary red, chrome and glass were used to contrast with the grand scale vintage clock hung above the sofa in the living room. This statement piece instantly catches your eye when first entering the living space, quickly connecting prospective buyers to their new trendy inner city space.

The modern /classic theme with its striking black French bedsides and glass droplet lamps was repeated in the master bedroom. Fresh white bed linen was used as a neutral palette to base the accents of green and grey, which were inspired from the tree tops which line the street. A statement piece of artwork and its quirky coral design finishes off the scheme to perfection.

Real Estate agent Jason Soulos from Cramer Property was very impressed with the whole scheme and styling results. The first of the four developments has since sold over the weekend with another three still for sale.

The Executive ‘Home’

Ever visited a swanky hotel, been impressed with the features on offer but, towards the end of your stay, began to notice the whitewash walls and dark cushions whilst yearning for your own comfy bed at home? It’s that soothing comfort that only your nest can deliver. If the answer is yes, you’d be able to relate to the predicament faced when selling upmarket executive living. Yes, it comes with security access, a mirror-filled elevator and sure, the lap pool is beautiful. But, is it home or does its décor and location simply serve as a subtle reminder of the buyer’s 9-5 way of life? How can an executive apartment become an executive ‘home’?

Furnish & Finish know the answer and for this reason were called to 2/2 Holdsworth Street, Neutral Bay. Tasked with turning this empty, white walled and dark carpeted apartment into a soothing abode for tired city workers, senior stylist Nicole Tarrant immediately saw opportunities:

“Combining a simple yet elegant mix of patterns, fabrics and contrasting colours gave the space the lift it needed. Using light, fresh tones in the furnishings and accessories gave the space a vibrant contrast against the dark carpet. The result was an inviting, cosy yet sophisticated feel. In addition, the use of glass coffee and dining tables gave prospective buyers the illusion of space and openness.”

“The lush green outlook allowed me to use beautiful green tones in the bedroom and kitchen to build the calming feel that the vendor and I were aiming for.”

Emerging far from the rigid executive apartment feel, Furnish & Furnish’s styling nous had produced a sought after executive home, an oasis seemingly miles from the pace of the city.

Furnish & Finish’s team of professional stylists hand pick every piece from their vast collection to suit each individual property. They strive to display each property’s potential while maximising the apparent space. These are the keys to achieving the best possible sale price.

Happy Landings

After returning from 4 years living in the States David and Pip Hanbury, along with their 13 month old son Josh were ready to purchase their next family home. In order to do this David and Pip knew they would have to sell their first time abode in Freshwater. After removing their furniture from their 2 bedroom apartment in Laurence Avenue, David and Pip realised how bare it seemed and wanted their first home to be showcased in its deserving light.

“The thought of styling our property was very last minute, we had high expectations and were a bit wary” Said David. “After researching on line and being recommended by a couple of people in the industry we decided to put out faith in Furnish and Finish Property Styling”.

“On arrival I could see that this property is bright and spacious” said Property Stylist Nicole Tarrant. “However, with David and Pips furniture removed, it appeared to be quite monotone and had nothing for the light to bounce around on. I immediately imagined a coastal, fresh feel ,with an easy attitude to it, fitting in beautifully with the surrounding environment”.

“The dining/living space is really quite large but it can be hard for the buyer to imagine where everything would go. Styling the space into 3 easy sections allows the buyer to get a feel for the space and an idea of its size”.

“The views from this property are simply gorgeous and I wanted to enhance that backdrop by inviting some of the colour in. Using our Saint Tropez furniture along with other fresh light pieces gave the room a light airy base and then by adding texture with our dark grey wash wicker mirror and chairs brought about a relaxing coastal feel. Using these pieces allowed me to pick up the landscape and enhance the indoors with greens, blues, turquoise woody tones.

On Completion David and Pip said “The furniture was beyond our expectations and for us the accessories really made the place look fantastic! We have had a lot of positive comments about it, even people asking why we are selling as it looks so amazing!”

“Having the place styled really shows buyers the potential and the space available.

 

This is a large apartment, without furniture it can look smaller than it is, but with furniture it shows buyers exactly how you would set your home up and how much room there actually is, It gives the apartment a fresh modern feel, which buyers love”

A unique home deserves individualised styling that makes it shine with luxurious simplicity.

The sandstone fireplace that dominates the formal living area was the inspiration for the neutral palette. The open plan design and soaring ceiling height demanded large statement pieces that complemented the space rather than cluttered it. Proportion was an important consideration in choosing the furnishings and accessories and we were able to seamlessly blend sentimental pieces with modern design. Strategically placed floor and table lamps, bespoke artwork, and accessories that reflected the clients overseas travels, ensured the living spaces were cosy rather than cold. The styling sold the lifestyle that the architecture reflected.’
