Designing for yourself can be a challenge, but renovating her own family home by the beach was sheer joy for interior designer Coco Tully.

Coco relished the opportunity to create a space that truly reflects her and her husband — both seasoned travellers — and the holiday lifestyle Cote Interiors evokes in every project. Through playful wallpapers, splashes of colour, traditional details and nods to Coco’s Caribbean upbringing, this century-old heritage home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches is characterful, comfortable and functional.
