Camberwell House

This heritage Deco residence in Melbourne’s leafy suburb of Camberwell underwent an extensive renovation and architecturally designed extension that carefully balanced the home’s original character with contemporary family living. Eclectic Creative was engaged to deliver the interior design direction across the renovated and newly extended spaces, creating a cohesive material palette and layered interior aesthetic that respected the architectural relationship between old and new.

Working alongside Steffen Welsch Architects and APC Build, the project focused on preserving the integrity and charm of the original Deco-era home while introducing refined contemporary interiors that felt calm, functional and enduring. Careful consideration was given to how the interior spaces transitioned between the existing residence and the new extension, ensuring the home felt cohesive rather than disconnected.

Custom joinery, tailored storage solutions and layered material selections played a significant role throughout the project. Rich timber finishes, natural textures and restrained detailing introduced warmth and softness to the contemporary spaces while complementing the home’s original architectural features. The kitchen and living areas were designed to feel inviting and highly functional for modern family life, balancing practicality with timeless design.

Furniture, lighting and styling selections were carefully curated to reinforce the home’s architectural character while adding depth, personality and visual warmth throughout the interiors. The resulting spaces feel layered and highly resolved, combining contemporary functionality with a strong connection to the home’s heritage origins.

This Camberwell renovation reflects Eclectic Creative’s approach to heritage and architecturally designed homes across Melbourne, creating interiors that balance material sensitivity, functionality and timeless design within character-filled residences.
