"Dreaming Up Modern Day Interpretations of a 70s Vibe" Was the Designer's Favorite Part of Creating This Laid-Back Aussie Home — It's a Masterclass in Styling Room Dividers

A modern open plan living space with wood and metal accents, a round built-in table with three green stools around it and a large moon-like pendant light about the conversation pit-style seating area at the back.

This relaxing, grounding, and beautifully connected 70s-inspired home was designed for a family of four in Byron Bay, New South Wales, by acclaimed interior design and architecture studio YSG. Explaining the home's location, Yasmine Ghoneim, director of YSG Studio, shares, "It’s a bit of a wellness mecca in the sense that you’ll find plenty of yoga and meditation retreats in the rolling hills dotting its hinterland, which is green all year," she says.

"Plus, the surf’s pretty legendary, so it attracts lots of creatives searching for some inner peace and a work/play balance. Despite its inevitable development over the past 15 years, it still retains its incredible escapist charm that’s magical."
