A MODERN FARMHOUSE RENOVATION Bronte, WITH ROOTS IN FEDERATION CHARM

This Federation-era home in Bronte was thoughtfully reimagined to bring warmth, texture, and relaxed sophistication to a much-loved family home. The client’s brief called for a modern farmhouse aesthetic, grounded in natural finishes, elevated by detail, and layered with comfort. Elizabeth May Design led the interior transformation across the kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces, and collaborated on the exterior to ensure a cohesive indoor-outdoor connection.

Timeless Materials, Warm Foundations

Natural timber flooring, custom joinery, and carefully selected tiles and tap-ware came together to create a palette that feels both classic and contemporary, reflecting the home’s heritage while supporting modern living

From Indoors to Outdoors

The renovation extended beyond the interior, with a new pool, soft landscaping, and a curated mix of potted plants helping to blur the boundaries between inside and out. Each element was selected to enhance everyday living.

Details That Tell a Story

Every detail was considered, from statement lighting and layered accessories to the finishing touch of personalised artwork. The result is a home that feels refined, grounded, and designed to be truly lived in.

Liz was amazing from start to finish. I find home decorating quite overwhelming, but she presented me with enough ideas to get my creative juices flowing. She stuck to the brief but added her own personal flair to them which really brought the house to life, and worked seamlessly with my builder which was such a relief!
