The Rotherwood, Toorak Gardens
Driftwood Sisal in the Walk in Robe
Set within the leafy streets of Toorak Gardens, The Rotherwood is a home defined by quiet confidence — where considered design choices and natural materials come together to create spaces that feel timeless, calm and deeply livable.
Rather than following trends, the interiors by Georgie Shephard Interiors Design lean into restraint and texture, allowing materials to speak for themselves. The result is a residence that feels both elegant and relaxed, balancing classic proportions with a contemporary sensibility.
Throughout The Rotherwood, the focus is on longevity and liveability. Light-filled rooms are softened by a layered, neutral palette, while thoughtful detailing ensures each space flows effortlessly into the next. The team at The Building Company that this is a home designed to be lived in — welcoming, grounded and quietly sophisticated.
Natural finishes play a key role in shaping this atmosphere, offering visual warmth while standing up to everyday life.
Driftwood Sisal: Texture That Grounds the Space
Underfoot, Driftwood Sisal provides a subtle yet defining layer to the interiors. Chosen for its organic texture and timeless appeal, this natural fibre flooring brings depth and warmth without overpowering the architectural language of the home.
The soft, weathered tones of Driftwood Sisal sit comfortably alongside both classic elements and contemporary furnishings, creating a seamless foundation across living areas and circulation spaces.
Key qualities of Driftwood Sisal at The Rotherwood include:
Natural warmth: A neutral, earthy tone that enhances light and softens interiors
Tactile appeal: A refined weave that adds texture and interest underfoot
Durability: Well-suited to high-traffic family areas while aging gracefully over time
The flooring acts as a quiet anchor — grounding the interiors and allowing other design elements to shine.
A Timeless Toorak Gardens Residence
In a suburb known for its character homes and refined streetscapes, The Rotherwood sits comfortably within its setting. The design respects its context while offering a fresh, contemporary interpretation of comfort and style.
Anchored by the natural beauty of Driftwood Sisal, the home is a study in understated elegance — proof that the most enduring interiors are those built on texture, restraint and quality materials.
