Lately, I’ve been completely smitten by design from down under (like this project by David Hicks). Australia has some super-serious modern glamour going on! Today’s post features a Melbourne residence by Mim Design. Contemporary furnishings and finishes update a classic Art Deco home. Perhaps most striking is the dining room, with its dark tones and lustrous touches.

The interior of this Art Deco home features original period embellishments that have been accentuated with dramatic monochromatic tones... Deluxe furniture and accessories were specially selected to contrast with the moody tones of the interior. - Mim Design

The floor and walls of the ensuite were lined with straight cut Ocean Blue Travertine adding to the premium feel of the bathroom. - Mim Design

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
