Rozelle Apartment

Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Madness

This dated but well located waterfront apartment benefited from the warmth of an earthy colour palette and a mix of Japanese design elements and Scandinavian furniture.

Mixing vintage, rustic and antique pieces with contemporary art and lighting has created a home with warmth and character.

‘Rikki has a proper knowledge of what pure colour is and what it might do. Architects generally just rely on natural materials to get them by. ’

The perfect position

Unrecognisable, after the removal of one wall and the repositioning of the kitchen, this waterfront inner city apartment pulsates with vibrant colour layered through the carefully chosen furniture and artwork.

Queen Anne Revival to family home

Built in 1885 for the Fairfax family, previously very formal Queen Anne Revival is now a gracious relaxed family home. “Unusually there is a subtle, but distinct, change of colour with each room. Sydney Colourist Rikki Stubbs’ interior paint palette has delicate breaths of colour in each space ~ French greys, eggshell blues, dusty pinks making the progression through the house both interesting and effortless. ”

Vaucluse Modernist

A casually glamorous and practical home strikes the right balance with a subdued colour palette accented by stunning visual art and great furniture.

Balmain - History

The warmth of Sydney sandstone, the predominate building material in this historic former corner shop, was the starting point for this lightly executed timeless renovation.

South Coogee

I used a range of whites here to control the level of light. A straight white is too bright when there is a lot of light.

When attention is paid to the small things it can have the biggest rewards. Detail matters.

“Rikki has way of assembling furniture and collectables that borders on breathtaking.”
-Megan Morton Inside Out

I don’t like to renovate an old house too much. I like to keep as much of its past as possible.
