monochrome interior schemes, designer Pamela Makin of Les Interieurs doesn’t disappoint in her masterful decoration of this Sydney apartment located in harbourside Kurraba Point. Employing walls and shutters painted in a light-absorbing flat black to give depth and blur the boundaries The Kurraba Point apartment was the second project we have designed for the clients who had just purchased a new apartment and requested an entirely new look. As a departure from their former home, which I had designed for them in white, we selected a scheme of black interiors with a unique mix of contemporary furniture highlighted by beautiful pieces such as a gorgeous ebony and gold salon mirror from Parterre and a fireplace and vintage surround from Richard Ellis Design. The original space looked extremely dated. To refresh the look, pale travertine floors were installed throughout and some of the formerly cream walls were painted in Dulux ‘Theatre Black’, which is a flat-black finish with minimal light reflection, for impact. We resurfaced the kitchen cupboards in Navlam oak veneer and eliminated all the outdated cabinets throughout the home. The interiors are a mix of sophisticated modern pieces mixed with unique forms and found treasures on the owners’ frequent trips to Europe and New York. Large-scale artworks by Camie Lyons, Sophie Cape and Alison Coates complete the look. The entrance on the ground level is unique and unexpected with the bespoke, attention-grabbing wallpaper from Pure Interiors. Design classics such as the Living Divani ‘Extra Soft’ sofa and ‘Frog’ chairs from Space ensure that the living space is welcoming and comfortable. The living area is tiny so we placed large, important pieces sparingly, such as the ultracomfortable Living Divani sofa, to create maximum impact. They say they love it – and they both live and work from the apartment.
