Our Design Approach
Designing for Stanmore’s Victorian and Federation homes requires a deep understanding of period features and how to reimagine them for modern living. These homes, known for their ornate detailing and layered aesthetics, deserve an approach that enhances their beauty while ensuring they meet contemporary functional demands. At Jillian Dinkel, we begin every project by analysing the home’s unique architectural character. Victorian and Federation homes in Stanmore often include striking details like decorative mouldings, fireplaces, and high ceilings. Our process speaks to these features, restoring and elevating them with bespoke finishes that not only honour their craftsmanship but also integrate seamlessly into modern designs.
