IN THE NAVY Featuring grandly proportioned rooms and a park-like garden, this house is also home to a tribe of six children – including pre-tween triplets. As a result, it’s essential that elegance be combined with family-friendly practicality, as seen in the kitchen, where fitted cabinetry was previously painted turquoise, and is now a much more sophisticated navy. The light oak counters were stained dark, too, and the result is a space that’s both savvy and smart. Tip Interior designer Simone Hirsch (simonekatherineinteriors. com) selected the paint color and contrasting patterned splashback wall tiles, as well as choosing Zimbabwean Black Stone countertops to add a further dimension of practicality to the prep areas.
