Go Inside an Australian Designer’s Colorful, Pattern-Happy Home

In this episode of Houzz TV Live, Australian designer Monique Sartor of Sartorial Interiors takes viewers through the colorful, eclectic interiors of her historic home in Sydney. In the kitchen, powder blue cabinets, hot pink stools and a black-and-white tile floor in an unexpected pattern create a soothing but playful style. Sartor takes a similar approach in other rooms. Flashes of pink, yellow and blue in wallpaper and upholstery pieces mix with her own artwork and photography, as well as fun details like cabinet hardware shaped like bees, to arrive at a personalized, energetic home.

Lot of bright colors in this video, especially for the wallpaper. I love the mix and how it all comes together.

Rick, your comments regarding the designs opened my eyes to so much more than I would have noticed. Ms. Sartor is so talented. Never seen anything so rich and inviting at once. Thank you for this. Appreciate her opening her home for us to see. Every room a jewel.

Monique and I have something in common....We both love fuchsia! A joyful house that I am sure reflects the personality of the owner/designer.
