I have always felt that being able to convert a warehouse into your own home is definitely on the list of dreams in life! The vast area, high space, and empty original shape can be freely transformed into whatever you want. The ideal look.
Penny Lane, a photographer who was born in Perth, Australia and currently lives in Sydney, is also hopelessly in love with the warehouse space (yes! Penny Lane is her real name, and she is not plagiarizing the Beetles song, nor Not borrowing the name of Kate Hudson from the movie "Fame in Hope").
It was formerly a chocolate factory, located in the Chippendale district of Sydney. Penny only rented this building, but when they moved in, the first thing they did was to paint the entire space all white, from the walls to the ceiling. Down to the floor, the pure white color lights up the entire environment, instantly creating a modern minimalist style and blending it with the retro texture of the building itself. Since there is no outdoor space in this house, she used various green potted plants to fill them with cool white, bringing a lot of life to the home.
Most of the furniture was sourced from second-hand stores. She was very proud to say that she could always find items worth collecting in second-hand stores. As a photographer, she also has many friends in the creative circle, so many of the decorations in her home come from her artist friends, such as Melbourne illustrator Jess Racklyeft, who also designed Penny Lane’s home environment and photography studio. , adding more unique artistic and literary flavor. There are many artists or cultural and creative industries in this area, and everyone can always inspire each other or exchange ideas. This home can also be used as a photo studio or exhibition space, providing a space for creative people to express themselves freely.
Who says you can’t create your own dreamer when renting a house! With a little creativity, you can give yourself an environment full of inspiration and imagination, bringing endless freshness to your daily life.
