Commercial | Furniture Hire | Bondi

Our Commercial projects are special to us as we collaborate closely with clients to pin down their inspiration and bring their vision to life. For this client’s six Bondi apartments, we decided on three distinct design directions; coastal luxe, an LA-inspired edgy cool, and our signature Moody Hues with dialled-up sophistication.

To achieve each look, we amplified natural light and the organic textures and tones of the local coastline. Deep greens and blues were selected for throw pillows and other patterned accessories while timeless neutrals provided the base for most of the furniture and finishings. Our designers also played on texture, depth and shape to elevate each space.

For all six properties, we sourced custom artwork to tie in with the design concepts and complete the look. A mix of wild landscapes, monochrome line art and other abstract pieces were carefully placed throughout the rooms.

We were excited to help transform six Bondi apartments into boutique accommodation. Having realised the importance of inspiring interiors to attract guests and allow them to feel right at home, this client tapped on the BOWERBIRD team to convert the tired interiors into aspirational spaces.

Following our initial discussions, we understood that an idyllic beach escape means different things to different people and that our interiors should meet the needs of all kinds of guests – those travelling to Sydney to explore the city and experience the beach lifestyle, those looking for a breezy space to unwind in, and those with plans for a productive work trip. The perfect interiors should translate all of these intentions into a consistent ‘look and feel’.

Our designers made sure there was ample light and desk space for work, while also creating cosy spaces in each apartment to rest and relax. Aside from the more practical design considerations, the vibe of the properties was to convey a looser kind of luxury, reminiscent of breezy summer evenings spent at chic beachside resorts. Such is the power of strong interior design to make guests feel the excitement and wonder of travel while also creating a cosy and “homely” ambience wherever they are.

The buzzy location of the apartments – set between famed Tamarama and Bondi Beaches – was another clear inspiration for the design. Our client wanted to blend design elements from the local area with those from some of their favourite hotels, restaurants and bars from around the world. We were able to incorporate all of those influences in three design directions.

Scope for each apartment:

• Kitchen
• Dining
• Living room
• Master bedroom
• Second bedroom
• Balcony

Design Directions: Moody Hues, Coastal Luxe and LA Cool

We based our design concepts on the client’s request for a casual kind of luxury, one that feels as accessible and effortless as it does sophisticated. The three selected looks were coastal luxe, an LA-inspired edgy cool, and our signature Moody Hues.
