Take inspiration from some of Australia’s best living spaces. Ahead, Penelope Scott finds joy in playing with colour and pattern in her Tudor-style home.
“This house brims with English charm, quirk and wonderful energy,” says Penelope. “The whimsical wallpaper, by artist Nathalie Lété, is a play on the kitchen garden it overlooks.” Credit:Armelle Habib

What we did
“We renovated the bathrooms, installed new window furnishings and hung five beautiful wallpapers,” says Penelope. “As a designer, I revelled in the sourcing and selection process.”
Favourite room
“I adore every room, but our bedroom is my favourite,” says Penelope. “I designed it to be a nurturing space and installed the bath from the English Tapware Company.”
“Our bedroom bath is very conducive to daydreaming,” says Penelope. The bath is from The English Tapware Company and the wallpaper is by Farrow & Ball.Credit:Armelle Habib
The ’hood
“We love our location in a hidden cul de sac, and our friendly, generous, entertaining neighbours,” says Penelope. “As a bonus, I can walk to many of my favourite textile showrooms.”
Future plans
“To simply enjoy our home and host many friends here, now that we can again,” says Penny.
