From coastal escapes to leafy suburbs and urban waterfronts, Melbourne homes each have a unique personality, shaped by their architecture, setting and design. At Novari Collective, we’ve loved helping these stories come to life, highlighting the individuality of each property and the creativity of its owners. Through careful styling and thoughtful detail, we aim to create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, they feel lived in, welcoming and aspirational, inviting potential buyers to imagine themselves enjoying every moment in the home. Here’s a closer look at four exceptional transformations from the past year.
Nestled in the gated enclave of Moonah Links, this Spatial Studios residence features four ensuite bedrooms, three living zones, a sculptural kitchen island and seamless flow to a ten-seat spa and expansive balcony. Curved walls, NSW spotted gum flooring, premium Miele appliances and underfloor heating reflect meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Soft neutrals and natural textures were layered throughout to create a sense of harmony and warmth. From the living zones to the alfresco and upper-level retreat, the styling enhances the home’s luxurious features while allowing the architecture and surrounding views to remain the focal point and making each space feel welcoming and liveable.
This architecturally designed home combines sculptural forms, double-height ceilings, five bedrooms, multiple living zones, a marble kitchen and seamless flow to the landscaped yard, alfresco deck and spa. A curved staircase and Dandenong Ranges views add visual drama while zoned heating and smart home systems ensure modern convenience.
Attention to the home’s sculptural elements guided the interior styling, using soft neutrals and natural textures to create cohesion and warmth. Each space, from the formal lounge to the alfresco entertaining area, was styled to complement the dramatic architecture while maintaining comfort, making the home both impressive and approachable.
Overlooking Mackie Road Reserve, this four-bedroom plus study, three-bathroom new build by MC Architects blends elegance with functionality. A bespoke study, marble kitchen with Miele appliances, open-plan living with a gas fireplace and courtyard access with a gas-heated plunge pool provide a sophisticated yet practical layout. Upstairs, the master retreat with balcony, robes and ensuite offers a luxurious sanctuary.
Interiors were enhanced with soft neutrals, natural textures and carefully chosen accents that celebrate the home’s leafy setting. From living areas to the courtyard and master suite, the styling emphasizes connection to the outdoors, highlights architectural details and creates an inviting, refined atmosphere throughout the property.
Perched on the 30th floor of the Contesso Contalvo building, this north-facing Docklands sub-penthouse offers uninterrupted views over Victoria Harbour. Light fills the airy living and dining areas through floor-to-ceiling windows, while the chef’s kitchen with stone island and premium appliances forms the heart of the home. Balconies and thoughtful design details create a sense of refined comfort, enhancing the apartment’s effortless style and sophisticated, inviting atmosphere.
Bright, vibrant colours were layered throughout to complement the home’s natural light and sweeping harbour views. From the living areas to the master suite, each space was styled to feel lively, inviting and full of personality, while still maintaining a sense of sophistication. The combination of bold accents, thoughtful furnishings and curated textures enhances the apartment’s architectural features and waterfront setting, creating interiors that are as dynamic and engaging as the views beyond the windows.
