It was a modern blank canvas, offering clean lines and generous natural light but in need of an injection of warmth and personality that better reflected the family residing within it,&#8221; Treloar said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The space is primarily used as a central living and gathering area for the family, so our design approach was to layer colour and thoughtful styling to transform it from a neutral and understated room into a welcoming, character-filled environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the dining area, warmer tones anchor the space, complemented by softer surrounding shades and layered decor that blends vintage, handcrafted and contemporary pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Banfield said proportion was key when working with stronger colours. She recommends choosing one or two mid-tone colours as a foundation and layering deeper hues to create smaller, but impactful moments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/Seasonal_Evoke_008_47653.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"1645\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stylist Bree Banfield believes you shouldn&#8217;t be afraid to include something unexpected in your spaces, like a vintage find, a sculptural lamp or patterned upholstery.
