Integration with architecture

Merging the external landscape with an interior can be challenging while enriching.   Ferny undergrowth, bracken and charred trees weave their way through our furniture, integrating the architecture of this Fern Tree home.   Spotted Gum highlights are enhanced with texture and form, creating a stillness and sophistication that envelops the home.   Interior Design / Valentine Interiors Architecture / Gregory Eade Photography / Loic Le Guilly      …
