He has some design tips too, as well as the worst bathroom he ever saw on Selling Houses!

'We wanted to achieve a classic but creative feel and tried to avoid the usual with a nod to our coastal location. Classic because too high fashion has very little longevity. And we tried to be creative and avoid the usual – whilst we are all influenced by what we see and like, pure plagiarism is dull."

Red interiors: yay or nay? I'm not usually a fan Red interiors: yay or nay?

I'm not usually a fan but this library in a Port Macquarie home for a UK family, THIS is 😎 

“It already had red on the walls, but it was such an old nanna room. I said that if they wanted to keep the room red, they needed to be brave enough to paint the whole thing. It’s a really big room so it gets away with it,” says @trentinidesign. 

The result is a super moody space that is amplified by layers of velvet and alpaca wool, an open fireplace, baby grand piano and brand-new joinery that ensures everything has its place. 

Take the tour of this gorgeous home, that doesn't play it safe and delights its owners on a daily basis, via link in bio.
