But for a couple and their two young children living in this gorgeous 1890s Victorian terrace in Woollahra, the rule book was thrown out the window. Instead, they chose to honour their personality, staying true to their style, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. With the help of Claudia Lambert, head of studio at Claudia Lambert Interiors, the property was totally revived, striking the perfect balance of modern and fresh while still protecting the heritage features. To bring the project to life, Claudia worked closely with Jillian Dinkel, creative director and principal of Jillian Dinkel Designs, who specialises in heritage homes. “The brief was to create a contemporary family home, increase the sense of space and light, and take a carefully curated approach to furnish each space, creating a unique voice that flows from room to room. We had a clear vision to retain the heritage features and bring a modern way of living to the less functional aspects,” Claudia explains. “The colour and material palette stayed reasonably the same throughout; however, the functionality of spaces changed as we encountered structural issues and discovered more functional layouts,” she adds. The clients chose a divine and daring blush palette throughout the home, which was toned down thanks to the soft shade of Dulux’s Mellow Beige, which was used on the walls and joinery to add some light and dimension. As a fellow pink lover, Claudia says getting to lean into a pink palette was something she absolutely loved doing with the homeowners. “The client has a natural affinity with this colour, and fortunately, it is a colour I use in all my projects to some capacity, so it was a match made in heaven,” the designer reveals. To help pepper pink touches throughout the home, Claudia says the marble she selected at the start of the project helped inform the whimsical palette. “After we picked the marble, the tiles were then secondary to the stone, and fixtures and wall finishes came from these decisions,” she shares. Every aspect of the home evokes a sense of full-throttle joy, from the abstract pink sculpture by Jean Paul Mangin that hangs above the fireplace in the living room to the more subtle pops of colour, like the pink and red artwork by Will Cooke on the shelving. Claudia says channelling happiness through art was a very intentional decision. “The decorative objects were purchased based on what brought a sense of joy and fun to each space,” she reveals. Major structural changes were made to the rear of the property, with the kitchen, living, and dining areas completely gutted. Upstairs, the top floor was reconfigured to make room for a large bathroom and improve the functionality and sizes of the bedrooms. Now, this pretty in pink property is a glorious celebration of a truly unique home. Curated yet playful, Claudia muses that Tarella, as it is known, boasts a “sense of space and light, sophistication and charm mixed with a whimsical aesthetic.” “The decorative objects were purchased based on what brought a sense of joy and fun to each space,” — Claudia Lambert

Looking for more tips for your property, or thinking about buying or selling your home? Visit belleproperty.com/buy 07 SITCHU MAGAZINE Have You Reviewed the Contract? The contract for sale does far more than confirm a price. It defines the rights, responsibilities and expectations of both parties, which is why careful review is essential. While this process should begin well before an offer is made or accepted, a final review before signing is critical. This is the time to closely review the conditions, dates, inclusions and any special clauses that may affect the transaction. Overlooking minor details may result in unexpected costs, delayed settlement or limitations on how the property can be used after purchase. Your solicitor or conveyancer can identify areas requiring clarification or amendment and manage negotiations with the other party. Once all details are agreed upon, the contract is ready for exchange. Are the Contracts Ready to Be Exchanged? Exchanging contracts is the legal turning point of a property sale. Two identical contracts are signed, one by the buyer and one by the seller, and then formally exchanged. At auction, this happens immediately after the winning bid is accepted. In a private treaty sale, contracts are usually signed separately and exchanged electronically or in person, coordinated by solicitors, conveyancers or your agent. Before proceeding to exchange, it is important to ensure that key elements are in place. Finance approval should be confirmed, inspections completed, and all negotiated terms accurately reflected in the contract. Once exchanged, both parties are legally bound, bringing certainty to the transaction and allowing the focus to shift to settlement. Do You Have the Deposit Ready? At the time of exchange, the buyer is required to pay a deposit, typically ranging from 5 percent to 20 percent of the purchase price. This payment demonstrates commitment and secures the property while the sale progresses. The deposit is held in trust and forms part of the final purchase price, which will be adjusted at settlement. For buyers relying on finance, your loan approval must align with the exchange timeline. While pre-approval is a useful first step, lenders may still require final documentation before unconditional approval is granted. Your agent and conveyancer can help coordinate timing to ensure exchange proceeds smoothly. Are You Prepared for Settlement? Following exchange, attention turns to settlement, the final stage of the transaction. The settlement date is outlined in the contract and is commonly around six weeks after exchange, unless otherwise negotiated. Settlement is when the ownership of the property officially transfers from seller to buyer. While neither party typically attends in person, solicitors, conveyancers and lenders coordinate the transfer of funds and documents. Final figures reflect the remaining balance of the purchase price, less the deposit, along with adjustments for rates, utilities and other outgoings. In many states, risk passes to the buyer at exchange; it may be beneficial to speak to your solicitor or conveyancer about arranging building insurance as soon as contracts are exchanged. A Confident Step Forward Exchanging contracts is a moment that rewards preparation and considered advice. With the right support it will feel less of a legal hurdle and more of a confident step forward in the property journey. Beyond facilitating the sale, an experienced agent helps manage timing, communication and expectations between all parties, reducing friction as the transaction moves from agreement to settlement. Our experienced Belle Property agents are here to guide you through each stage, working closely with trusted conveyancers and finance professionals to ensure the process progresses with clarity and confidence. Speak with your local Belle Property office today. In property transactions, agreement does not yet equal commitment. While a buyer and seller may feel aligned on price and terms, a sale only becomes legally binding once contracts are formally exchanged. Until that point, everything remains provisional. Reaching an agreement on a sale price for both parties often feels like they’ve reached the finish line, however this agreement is really just the beginning of the most significant legal stage of the transaction. It is the point where intention becomes obligation, and where preparation, timing, and trusted advice are crucial. Below, our agents outline the key considerations to understand before exchange and as you move toward settlement. The Basics of Exchanging Property Contracts

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 Less about formal place settings and perfectly timed courses, more about atmosphere, intention and the joy of bringing people together in ways that feel personal and relaxed. Today’s most memorable gatherings are immersive and interactive. Food, drink and design all working together to create a sense of ease (and a little magic). From edible tablescapes to DIY bar moments, hosting has become a creative outlet in its own right. These are the entertaining trends shaping how we gather now. DIY Bar Moments Hosting is becoming more participatory, and drinks are leading the charge. DIY bar setups invite guests to mix their own — whether that’s a martini station with multiple vermouths, brines and pickles, or a spritz bar stocked with prebatched bases and a generous garnish spread. The key is curation over chaos: limit the options, label them well and let guests play. It breaks the ice instantly and turns the act of pouring a drink into part of the evening’s entertainment. Still Life Tablescapes Traditional florals and candlesticks are quietly stepping aside, replaced by creative tablescapes that blend edible elements with artistic forms. Think seasonal fruit, towers of whipped butter, bread bowls and sculptural vegetables layered down the centre of the table. Vintage serving ware and layers of draped linen add to the artistic flair. Not only does it look abundant and relaxed, but it also encourages guests to interact. Interactive Experiences The traditional sit-down dinner is starting to feel a little stiff in 2026. In its place? Experiences that give guests something to do. Pasta-making, dumpling folding, cheese and wine tasting, mahjong tables, conversation card decks or even collaborative dessert decorating are all gaining traction. These shared moments shift the focus away from rigid courses and toward connection — creating an atmosphere where conversation flows as freely as the wine. The Home Venue One of the biggest shifts in entertaining right now is treating the home as a destination in its own right. Hosts are transforming their spaces into themed venues — cosy coffee shops, neighbourhood wine bars, bakeries or moody listening bars — with some even building these venue-like spaces into the home as a permanent fixture. The magic is in the details: custom menus, personalised signage, quality serving ware, playlists that match the mood and thoughtful styling that commits fully to the concept. Think of it as an invitation to bring your dream venue to life without leaving home. Food As Art Food is no longer just served, it’s styled, composed and displayed with intention. Visually striking grazing plates are having a real moment, from checkerboard arrangements of olives and feta to carefully arranged crudités on vintage silver trays, butter boards and geometric cheese spreads. It’s playful, expressive and designed for sharing (in person and online) — proof that the first bite now often happens with the eyes. Elevated Non-Alcoholic Pairings Thoughtful hosting means catering to everyone equally. With more of us choosing to drink less (or not at all), alcohol-free drinks are no longer an afterthought. Expect house-made shrubs, botanical sodas, cold-brew teas and complex zero-proof cocktails served in the same glassware and garnished just like the real deal. SITCHU MAGAZINE Sitchu Picks 1.
