We’re checking out some amazing designer homes in this series, and using Nest Shop to source similar pieces if you’re feeling inspired or looking to create a similar vibe.  

First up, we have the commendation for the Residential Design in Australian 2024 Interior Design Awards, the Fairlie Apartment by Kennedy Nolan.

Such a beautiful example of how to create a home that feels both luxurious and welcoming. We love the use of soft, earthy colours like warm neutrals, muted shades, and natural finishes that bring a sense of warmth contrasted with a pop of colour. The overall look is clean and modern, with rounded edges and simple, sculptural touches that add style without feeling too trendy. It’s a space that feels effortlessly put together.

We used Nest to shop the look from across Australian furniture brands. Check out these 4 items found on Nest to get the Fairlie Apartment vibe. 

Buttler Fabric & Metal Dining Chair, Red

We love the pop of colour these chairs from LivingStyles add as a contrast to the neutral tones of the space.

Lisette 3.5 Seater Sofa

A linen couch in beige gives warmth to the room and is an option that is easier to keep clean than white. 

Renaud Mindi Wood Coffee Table

We like how minimalist and sleek this coffee table is, the wood keeps it earthy. 

Calicanto Ceramic Extensible dining table

Adding a lighter stone element that pairs nicely with the red dining chairs.
