Changing the way we think about our homes.

January 13, 2015

For so long now, the trend for home furnishings has been toward neutral basic colours and styles. The reason being, they are always considered a safe choice. The interior design industry dictates the terms with the premise that you can't go too wrong with cream, fawn, beige, black and other earthy tones. Attempts to modify and modernise the look has revolved around textures and we've seen the rise of faux furs, microfibres, large knits and leather goods. But the colour palette has basically remained the same.

At Milly and Eugene, we want to buck this trend and bring back real colour into our lives and into our homes. Colour makes you happy and our homewares and furnishings come in every colour you can imagine. Milky pinks, aqua, azure blue, mint green, daffodil yellow. Walk into the shop or just scroll through our website and you'll be dazed with colour. 

A living room with neutral furnishings is transformed with our crazily colourful Kilim rugs. Drab white walls will be illuminated with our beautiful pastel mirrors, screens and brightly textured artworks. Our beautiful bright Kantha quilts, hand-woven bedheads, drum tables, crocheted throws and pastel rattan chairs will brighten any bedroom. You can place any one of our resin Buddhas, bulldogs, bunnies, rhinos or painted skulls around your house to light up a dull corner or decorate the kids bedrooms and play areas. 

We invite you to take a look at what we have instore and dare to experiment with colour in your home. It will bring you joy. 
"The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most"

When thinking about home interiors, like me, you might cringe at the memory of your childhood home. The best version of our family home was new green carpet and a black high-backed vinyl lounge with orange nylon-cushioned seating. My mother was proud of her modern choices and teamed up the “mod look” with a teak extender dining table and a sliding-door settee.The bright green kitchen cupboards and red laminex kitchen table and chairs were all part of the ‘70’s look.

When we married and had our first child, forty years ago, our search began in earnest, for a home; somewhere to raise our family. In those days, it wasn’t unusual to seek out houses for sale in the classified adds of the Sydney newspaper. And that was how we came across our first home. Situated at the bottom of a hill, looking north over the southern headland of Coogee, we loved it the minute we saw it. It wasn’t grand, with one and a half bedrooms and a tiny kitchen and bathroom, but it was perfect for us.  And I remember thinking that I would never again wish for anything more in my life. Well, that noble thought didn’t last long, because over the next five years two more babies came along and we needed more rooms, more space.
