Cloud in Malvern

Horace House by Tara Wokulski is a minimalist family home in Melbourne’s Malvern. It balances functionality with elegant design details, creating a calm and welcoming space for everyday living.

Central to the home’s narrative is the selection of clean finishes. The design palette began with the Sephora White natural stone from SK Pietra, characterised by hues of off-white, grey, bronze, dusty pink, and champagne. For Tara, this palette was chosen to create a calming flow and achieve a minimal look. The natural stone needed to be paired with timber flooring to become the backdrop for the interior, promoting continuity and balance across the spaces. Thus, the choice of flooring was essential in achieving the desired atmosphere.

“There were very few timber flooring options that felt in sync with the natural stone, but Cloud from Made by Storey really elevated the interiors while keeping to the tonal palette,” notes Wokulski.
