Emma Blomfield x The Blue Space

In May 2022, Emma acquired a dated apartment on Sydney's lower North Shore. Constructed in 1933, the residence bore traces of its art deco origins, which had been largely obscured or removed over time. Emma embarked on a mission to restore these elements, paying homage to the building's history.

The Project and Vision

Interior designer Emma Blomfield took on the renovation of her 1930s Sydney apartment with the goal of reviving its original Art Deco charm. Working closely with The Blue Space, she transformed a dated space into a beautifully styled home that honours its heritage while feeling fresh and functional.

Design Transformation

Emma refreshed tired finishes throughout the apartment — repainting walls from dull grey to warm cream and replacing old tiles with elegant marble mosaic. Every choice was intentional, ensuring the finished look stayed cohesive with the home’s architectural history.

Key Fixtures & Styling Choices

A highlight of this collaboration was the selection of high-quality fixtures from The Blue Space. Emma chose brushed gold tapware and shower pieces from Phoenix that complement the Art Deco aesthetic, along with stylish cabinetry, vanity units, and bathroom ware that balanced practicality with design flair.

Reflectons & Outcome

Emma emphasises that careful planning and thoughtful choices — from layout to fixtures — are what brought her vision to life. The result is a space she now enjoys for both its beauty and everyday functionality, captured beautifully through photography and design detail.
