Bold & Beautiful

Chroma Interiors transformed this stunning Devonport home by reimagining its layout, relocating the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms to create a fresh, open-flowing design.

The newly designed kitchen is now at the heart of the home, positioned at the back and seamlessly extending to an outdoor lounge and dining area. A cleverly tucked-away pantry offers abundant storage, perfect for the creative chef. Meanwhile, the bathroom has been moved to the centre of the house, ensuring easy access from all bedrooms.

“I can't recommend Margaux Word from Chroma Interiors highly enough! From the very beginning, Margaux took the time to really listen to what we needed, wanted, and liked. She didn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to design; instead, she worked hard to understand our personal style and created plans that truly reflected our tastes.

Margaux was incredibly skilled at redesigning our spaces to maximize floor space. She reworked plans until they were exactly what we envisioned and provided beautiful renderings that helped me clearly imagine our new spaces. Her attention to detail was invaluable.”

A calming colour palette of soft blues flows throughout, with inky tiles behind the tub and grey stone detailing on the floors and walls of the bathroom. The kitchen is brought to life with Blue Roma quartzite, which pairs beautifully with warm oak accents, stainless steel countertops, and custom blue cabinetry.

The overall ambiance of the home is one of spaciousness, combining earthy textures and soothing colours to create a modern yet serene environment.

“What really stood out was how much time she saved me—by gathering samples in advance and having everything ready for our meetings, I didn’t have to worry about sourcing anything myself. She also introduced us to suppliers and ideas that I would never have come across on my own. Her extensive network and knowledge were huge assets.

Margaux went above and beyond to secure specific items for us, and she managed to make a process I’d been warned would be stressful into something fun. She was there for me during my many moments of doubt, especially when I was second-guessing bold decisions (and even the less bold ones). Her calm and reassuring presence was a huge comfort, and I genuinely came to rely on her support throughout.”

When it came to execution, Margaux made sure everything was completed to the highest standard.

I would not hesitate to recommend Margaux and Chroma Interiors to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and highly professional interior designer.
