BRONTE HOUSE
From the front fence to the back fence, every detail in this beachside family home has been thought of. The slatted front fence creates privacy and an impactful entrance to the front of the home which compromises a private front yard area perfect for capturing the afternoon sun, along with a unique driveway and carport area featuring pre-loved railway sleepers.

KITCHEN AND DINING
“ Kids and luxury aren’t supposed to mix, right? Perhaps it’s just us but we’ve always felt the nature of luxury changes once you start a family – it becomes less about aesthetic and more about function and longevity. So when we see a family home that’s both practical and beautiful, suffice to say we want to know what the secret is.”

THE LIVING SPACES
The Designory got started straight away, transforming the constricted layout into a family home that represented Bonney’s signature style, which she describes as “Australian luxe”. “Navy, ink, indigo … they’re colours that I feel very passionate about,” says the designer. “I didn’t want my ‘forever’ home to be white, I wanted to inject my personality into the space and give each room a sense of itself.”

THE MASTER BEDROOM
Moody, lustrous, and deeply layered, the master bedroom at Bronte House is a retreat designed to envelop. Custom joinery featuring rich timber detailing anchors the space, while carefully curated furniture pieces—sourced from across the globe—add character and depth. It’s a room where craftsmanship meets quiet luxury, creating a sanctuary that feels both personal and timeless.
BEDROOMS and BUNKROOM
Designed with both playfulness and longevity in mind, the children’s rooms at Bronte House strike the perfect balance between fun and timeless. A soft pink palette brings warmth and charm to the daughter’s room, while a fresh blue tone defines the son’s space—both styled to feel joyful without being overly juvenile. Thoughtful details and flexible design ensure these rooms will grow with them for years to come.
WET AREAS
BATHROOMS, POWDERROOM & LAUNDRY
The family bathroom continues the bespoke narrative of Bronte House, blending functionality with refined detail. Custom joinery is paired with Omvivo basins, handmade leather handles, and customised Sussex Calibre fittings to create a space that feels tailored and luxurious. At its centre, the sculptural Kartell Laufen bathtub adds a statement moment—balancing beauty with everyday practicality for a truly elevated family space.
