AMELDA WILDE

Set in a garden of wildflowers, Amelda Wilde’s 1930s home in Victoria has all the elements of a fairytale. ​The interior designer’s office is in the original section of the California bungalow, taking in the floral ​aspect while being a space for creative focus. Here, Amelda’s signature style blends Arts and Crafts ​revivalism with meta-modernism. “I wanted to retain the cosy atmosphere with small doses of ​playfulness,” she says. A Morris & Co wallpaper called Montreal in Charcoal/Bronze cocoons the room, ​which has a restrained material palette of timber and brass highlighting original features such as the fireplace. ​Handcrafted objects, including Amelda’s art and ceramics, work to enhance the moody yet whimsical ​ambience. “My home is filled with treasures and special moments that make me happy,” she adds. ​Amelda Wilde Interior Design is at ameldawilde.com.au and @ameldawilde
