The projects of the Australian designer and decorator Tamsin Johnson are a perfect example of how you can mix different textures of materials and works of art in interiors. Relying on the monochrome color scheme, she creates elegant spaces that show that a bright design does not necessarily mean a variety of prints and a riot of colors.

This penthouse in the South Yarra area belongs to a young woman who wanted a cozy apartment where she could take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. During the renovation, the designer carried out a redevelopment to make the space more functional. Some elements have been preserved, for example, huge floor-to-ceiling windows with original steel frames.

The calm palette of the interior is diluted by the expressive lines of the furniture. In the living room there is a coffee table designed by Willy Rizzo, and the bedroom is decorated with Le Bambole sofas designed by Mario Bellini. Items from famous designers are juxtaposed with custom-made decor elements, such as a curved mirror with a bronze frame, wall lamps or a console in the hallway.

Tamsin chose glass doors with a black steel frame for the living room. The monochrome design of the common space is complemented by black-and-white photographs of Tom Riley, Max Dupain and Felix Forest. The matte finish of the kitchen facades contrasts with calacatta marble, from which the apron is made.

The bedroom looks especially minimalistic: the designer abandoned the works of art and focused on a soft headboard and bedside tables made of stone. The bathroom is entirely decorated in gray, which gives the atmosphere rigor and elegance without unnecessary details.
