Designer Malvina Stone transformed a former horse stud into this rustic contemporary family home in the Swan Valley. The home captures a refined farmhouse aesthetic, where crisp white interiors and architectural detailing create a sense of lightness and calm. Underfoot, rustic oak floorboards anchor the interiors, their natural variation and subtle texture adding warmth against the white backdrop. This rich character style FU320 oak features extra wide planks defined by organic knots, tonal variation, and a gentle, handscraped weathered finish that delivers a relaxed, natural elegance.

A carefully curated mix of classic and rustic elements brings warmth and depth to the clean palette. Timber furniture, vintage accents, and tactile materials introduce a lived-in charm, balancing the structured architecture with layers of softness and authenticity.
The flooring enhances the home’s timeless appeal, complementing both the heritage-inspired details and the fresh, contemporary finish. Each space feels thoughtfully composed, yet effortlessly relaxed.
The soft, sun-washed tones of the oak enhance the sense of openness, reflecting light and amplifying the airy feel of the spaces while the wide planks complement the home's original architecture. The hand-crafted indentations give the floor an authentic, old-world charm that works beautifully in traditional, farmhouse, or rustic designs.
Vaulted barn-style ceilings with exposed beams draw the eye upward, adding volume and character, while large windows frame soft green outlooks and flood the space with natural light. Together, the palette and materials create a harmonious balance of elegance and comfort, perfectly suited to relaxed, everyday living.
