MEGANS RETREAT BASKED IN COLOUR

Megan Morton is an interior stylist who recently took on a very personal project, her own home – Mimosa Moon.

She used colour to create beautiful spaces for her family. In her own words, Megan shared her thoughts behind the colours she chose, and the impact they have had on her home renovation project.

Infinity by MM / TM 22.06

The one thing you have to be really mindful with east coast houses like Mimosa Moon, Northern Rivers Hinterland is to chase the idea that to re-enter the house after days outside it really does have to feel as cool as it looks. Mimosa Moon is surrounded by pasture and rainforests. The white needed to be that perfect mix of glow and softness.

Deeply Navy by MM / TM 22.07

My all time go to colour is blue! This private movie screening room also needed to be a place to really feel protected, a real retreat. With all the surrounding verdant green around it, navy was the perfect choice as it’s dominant in its all over use and all the furniture has been done to match so it’s a real camouflage of sorts. When you have lots of green in your line of sight, a deep navy can be breathtaking.

Grey Castle / T15 18.4

I love taking the smallest room in the house and making it the jewel. Most of the time our initial instinct is to attempt the really big rooms. They offer (on the surface) the most real estate and the most bang for your buck, but I truly believe that it is in the smaller spaces that you can achieve some real drama. Our small guest loo does this exactly. Wall to wall dark grey, just add a skirted basin and artwork for details. The darker the grey the more I believe you can get away with!
