02 HOME TOUR Surrealist Escape Step into a whimsical holiday retreat where layered textures, storybook references and natureinspired motifs create a truly immersive experience.

SITCHU MAGAZINE Explore More Stylish Homes Peek inside exquisite properties and boutique accommodation across Australia and hear what inspired the architects, interior designers and homeowners. sitchu.com.au/home-tours Built by: Promena Projects Styled by: Felicity NG Photography: Anson Smart Words: Olivia Storrie Perched within the bucolic hills of New South Wales’ South Coast, YSG Studio has crafted a storybook holiday home designed for memorymaking. While it initially reads as a study in contrasts, seemingly opposing elements resolve into a cohesive whole, telling a tale of nostalgia and imagination. “Plantasia is a ‘fictional escape’,” explains Yasmine Ghoniem, Director of YSG Studio. “A ‘choose your own adventure’ holiday home where trippy interior landscapes entice you down utopian rabbit holes, and fairytale-like curiosities, framed by doorways and deep thresholds, lure the eye from room to room.” Tasked with “cosying up” the existing 1990s mock-colonial home without adding any internal walls, the team used the brief to craft a home that is texturally layered yet wholly serene, whimsical but not frivolous, maximalist without the clutter and playful yet grounded. The journey begins immediately. “We designed the entry vestibule to instantly disarm the stresses of city life, enlivening a new oversized timber door with a bright butter yellow shade”, shares Yasmine. Further adorned with V.Brokkr tubular brass pull handle, the door itself is the initial invitation into this immersive escape. “Inside the parlour, Victoriana elements including floral wallpaper, a circular velvet ottoman fitted with a skirt, plus ornately carved joinery add period drama with a Wes Anderson-inspired dopamine hit of colour”, Yasmine explains. “Given its ample space, the room holds visitors momentarily, enabling mindsets to transition. This ‘suspended time’ theme literally extends along the central spine of the home from the entrance, down the hallway and across the open kitchen/dining area’s floor in the form of an infinite hourglass motif defined by dark cork. We set it within caramel-shaded cork that pours into the adjoining rooms.” This thematic continuity travels throughout the home, inviting visitors to explore further, each room connected by a series of subtle motifs. One such thread is a homage to nature. “Sprouting from cushioned cork floors, nature flourishes upon walls and ceilings, with over ten different flora and fauna wallpapers adorning surfaces”, they share. “Most dramatic is the master suite, where tumbling autumnal foliage adorns the walls. An eerie Twin Peaks melancholy draws you in. Flipping perception, stripes clad the ceiling while plush sky-blue carpet lands underfoot. This colour drenching throws the eye up and out beyond the windows it frames towards dense clusters of towering trees. Above the bed, a large painting depicts a couple sharing secrets. Perhaps they know what brave new worlds exist beyond the woods outside.” While it may seem counterintuitive, drenching a windowed wall in floral paper is exactly where the genius of YSG Studio lies. In place of consuming the view it frames, it only serves to draw you ever deeper into the crisp green paddocks and the story of the home itself. With no design detail left unturned, the team were able to weave subtle storybook references throughout, a delicious treat for the keen-eyed observer. “It presents as a ‘choose your own adventure’ holiday home where trippy interior landscapes entice you down utopian rabbit holes, and fairy tale-like curiosities framed by doorways and deep thresholds lure the eye from room to room.” — YSG Studio “A salon hang of miscellaneous treasures dot the dining room’s wall above a generous farmhousestyle timber table that regularly accommodates visiting families and friends. Mismatched timber chairs (from rustic vintage pieces with rush seats to classic Thonets) orbit it, recalling Goldilocks scenes. A generous beige Aurélien Serre armchair with teddy bear-like form sits in the room’s corner, inviting curl-up time with a book” And it doesn’t end there. In a Hansel & Gretel nod, “A custom walnut credenza with a melted chocolate-like surface lines the room’s edge (dotted with Malteser-like pulls), adding layered depth to the room’s once flat planes.” Through these playful details, the team have transformed the home into a world of quiet fantasy — a place where imagination lingers in every corner and everyday moments feel just a little more enchanted. A true escape for adults and children alike.

SITCHU MAGAZINE Get Your Finances Organised Early Before you start house hunting, take time to understand your financial position and borrowing capacity. Speaking with a mortgage broker or lender early in the process can help you secure pre-approval and identify the loan products that best suit your circumstances. Pre-approval not only gives you a clear budget but can also strengthen your position when negotiating with sellers. It’s also worth reviewing your savings plan in the months leading up to a purchase. Reducing discretionary spending and consistently contributing to your savings can help grow your deposit faster in order to reach your goals and reduce the amount you need to borrow. There’s a range of helpful information available, including guidance from the government and financial institutions on saving for a deposit. Learn more on the Australian Government’s Moneysmart website. Research Government Grants And Incentives Depending on your location and eligibility, there may be government programs and home-owner grants designed to support buyers, particularly first-home buyers. These can include: • First-home buyer grants • Stamp duty concessions or exemptions • Shared equity or deposit schemes Understanding what support is available can significantly reduce your upfront costs and make home ownership more accessible. Budget Beyond The Purchase Price Many buyers underestimate the additional costs involved. Be sure to factor in: • Stamp duty (typically 3–6% of the property value in Australia) • Legal and conveyancing fees • Building and pest inspections • Moving costs • Insurance Planning for these expenses early helps avoid financial surprises. Compare Lenders and Loan Features Home loans vary widely in rates, fees and features. Comparing options can save you thousands over time. Features like offset accounts or extra repayments can also help reduce interest and pay down your loan faster. A mortgage broker can assist in finding a loan that suits your goals. Don’t Skip Building and Pest Inspections Professional building and pest inspections may seem like an added expense, but they can prevent costly issues later. Identifying problems early helps you make informed decisions and may give you room to negotiate. Consider Long-Term Value The cheapest property isn’t always the most economical long-term. Homes in desirable locations — near transport, schools and amenities — often offer better growth and lifestyle benefits. Use Experienced Professionals Navigating the property market can be complex. Working with experienced agents, brokers and conveyancers can help you avoid costly mistakes, uncover value and make confident decisions. Planning Today For Financial Confidence Tomorrow Buying a home is a significant investment, but with the right preparation, it can be more financially efficient. By understanding costs, exploring incentives and seeking expert advice, you can approach the market with confidence and make decisions that support your long-term goals. Buying a home is one of life’s most exciting milestones, but it also comes with significant financial decisions. While the property price is often the focus, there are many opportunities throughout the buying process to save money with the right preparation and advice. From planning your finances early to understanding the hidden costs of buying a home, a thoughtful approach can make a difference to your long-term financial position. Here are some smart strategies to help you save money when purchasing a property.

06 HOME DESIGN 1. Few & Far Alfie Single Seater Chair NeutralReset “In the past, neutrals might have been considered a ‘safe’ option, but these days, incorporating colour into our homes has very much become a design decision.” — Three Birds Renovations

Looking for more home design inspiration? For styling tips, interior design trends and roundups of the hottest new furniture on the market, visit sitchu.com.au/home-design Colour-drenched interiors might be having a moment, but neutrals aren’t going anywhere. According to design experts Three Birds Renovations, who recently partnered with Dulux to share their go-to renovating advice, the shift isn’t away from neutrals but towards warmer, more layered palettes that are far easier to live with. What’s fallen out of favour is that stark, gallery-like look. In its place are softer whites, creamy tones and subtle warmth. These shades respond to natural light in a much gentler way, creating spaces that feel calm, cohesive and genuinely liveable without losing polish. The Shift Towards Warmth Cool whites and flat greys are giving way to warmer neutrals like Dulux Antique White U.S.A.® and Dulux Natural White™, bringing softness without sacrificing versatility. “We’ve found ourselves leaning into softer, warmer and more layered neutrals that add depth and soul to a space,” say Three Birds. They also sit comfortably alongside natural materials such as timber, stone and linen, which helps everything feel more connected and considered. Why Undertones Matter Neutrals might seem straightforward, but they’re anything but. A slight shift in undertone can completely change how a space lands. “Undertones are everything. A tiny shift from warmer or cooler tones can completely change how a space feels — especially once natural light gets involved,” say Three Birds. It’s why a colour that looks right on a swatch can feel off once it’s on your walls. Testing in your own space, at different times of day, is well worth the extra effort. Designing With Your Materials Paint should be considered alongside the materials already in your home. “We always look at the bigger picture. Timbers, stone, tiles and metals all play a part in how a colour looks, so your neutrals need to work with them, not against them,” the team explains. A warmer white can lift timber tones, while a crisper option like Dulux Lexicon® Quarter adds contrast where needed. What matters is how everything sits together, rather than focusing on a single shade in isolation. The New Neutrals to Know Neutrals are expanding beyond beige, cream and grey, with softer, nature-led tones coming through. Muted greens like Dulux Still, earthy clay tones like Dulux Terra Rosa bring sophisticated personality without overwhelming a space. They add depth while still feeling grounded. “Our top priority when designing homes is that they feel as good as they look, and these are the colours we keep coming back to,” say Three Birds. “Calm, nurturing shades that are a pleasure to live with.” Building a Cohesive Space A neutral palette comes together through consistency. Colours should flow naturally between rooms, responding to light, materials and furniture. “There are no hard rules for which colour suits which style, just thoughtful choices that work together to tell one cohesive story,” say Three Birds. That’s where neutrals really prove their value. They create a foundation that’s easy to live with and simple to evolve over time. SITCHU MAGAZINE Sitchu Picks 1.
