Anna Williams of Ethos Design furnished this display home for a Queensland builder targeting first time buyers.
“I mixed affordable contemporary furniture from local chain stores with Mid Century styles to create a home that feels perfectly suited to a busy family lifestyle, all complemented with quirky accessories and colourful artwork,” she says. “My aim was to create a comfortable family home that felt practical, colourful and stylish.”
“The focal point for the dining room had to be the gorgeous abstracts by a local artist. To keep them centre stage, I kept the furniture simple. A round table allowed a better flow of traffic in the small space, while Louis Ghost style chairs are a practical option for a young family.”
The guest bedroom was small so Anna kept it simple and cheerful with colour blocked accessories in shades of red, orange and pink.
She chose a palette of mint and emerald green with splashes of yellow for the master bedroom.
What do you think of this home? Do you think it appeals to first time buyers and young families?

Absolutely lovely and practical! xx
It all looks fabulous. I especially LOVE the headboard in the master bedroom. Anna can you tell us where it is from?
Absolutely love the colours & the style – beautifully done and doesn’t look too “staged”.
Thanks Shannon. I actually made the headboard myself! You can’t beat upholstered headboards for flexibility – I made them for my last display home too 🙂
