Famed Sydney hairstylist, Renya Xydis shows us around the latest addition to her hairdressing empire: Renya Xydis Concept in Sydney’s fashionable William Street, Paddington.
“We like our workspace to reflect our craft, so it’s got to be beautiful. When the salon is buzzing, it’s an amazing space to be in," says Renya. “Our city store is extravagant and this is where our male stylists work so I wanted it to me more chic and streamlined with lots of black. The black and gold wallpaper downstairs was designed from a photo shoot where I had styled the hair. It’s timeless.”
Ideas to steal:1. Wallpaper is back. Wallpapering your favourite room, like the bedroom or living space, looks instantly moody and inviting.
2. Adding gold accents, like vases, chairs and photo frames is a simple way to make an everyday space and furniture look elegant.
3. Lighting is what makes a room. Adding a table lamp or ornate chandelier is glitzy and practical.
4. Velvet cushions look as rich as they feel. Go for deep shades, like navy and burgundy and throw in a few metallic cushions for contrast.
