blainey north – The Interiors Addict

The Victoria Room has a new look and it’s not surprising it’s a stunning one, thanks to the work of interior designer Blainey North.

After 10 successful years of trading, the new owners decided it was time for a change. Blainey has given the venue a beautiful new look featuring lots of dark navy (my favourite!) and deep, masculine shades, whilst moving away from the previous British Raj style.

Chef Samuel Cheetham, previously of Chez Bruce in London and Becasse & Quarter Twenty One in Sydney, is now heading up the kitchen. His new menu includes delicious sounding dishes like freshly shucked oysters with Campari granita, salt baked potatoes with smoked sour cream, shallots & preserved lemon, marinated Mahi Mahi and scallop, lime, black pepper and avocado (pictured).

It’s really no surprise that interior designer Blainey North’s furniture designs are as glamorous as she is and as luxurious as the five-star interiors she is famous for.

Established in 2001, Blainey North & Associates is a studio specialising in the interior architecture and design of luxury environments for five star hotels, exclusive residences and bespoke commercial and retail projects in Australia and abroad. Blainey North Collection was was established established as an extra arm to the business, specialising in custom designed furniture and specialty lighting.

The Passos swivel chair is one of a kind. On a concealed swivel base, encased in high gloss timber and edged in polished metal, this armchair is alluring from every angle.

It has always made sense to me that interior designers should design their own pieces. An ‘atelier for interiors’, Blainey is passionate about connecting ideas from the different design disciplines of fashion, film and the visual arts to create a unique language and ageless aesthetic.
