Oh lord. Hold onto your hats people. We have a KILLER Melbourne Home to share with you today, owned by one of Melbourne's most stylish and inspiring creative businesswomen (and Mum of FOUR!) Natalie Bloom of Bloom Cosmetics. What a woman. What a home!
Natalie and husband Brian moved into this house in 2002, and since then their family has grown to include a gaggle of gorgeous kids - Chloe (9), Amber (8), Zac (6) and Ben (10 months).
Nat says on first glance she instantly fell in love with the house (which was built in 1908) - she was particularly drawn to the balconies and outdoor space around the perimeter of the property. But whilst the exterior was perfect - the entire interior needed reworking. 'Originally, it was a house full of lots of tiny rooms' says Nat. 'We opened up the spaces, and renovated the interior while trying to retain original features, such as the staircase balustrade, some stained glass windows and other window furniture'. Much respected local interior designer Kerry Phelan was enlisted to assist in modernising the space and selecting finishes and furniture. The results are so stunning - the perfect balance of classic and contemporary styling, with just a touch of luxe.
One particularly treasured piece for Nat is the painting hanging above the staircase by Mirka Mora, a dear friend of Natalie's. 'This painting was inspired by our family' she says. 'Mirka named it 'Family' and we knew it had to be ours. It holds many memories and emotions for me, and I love that it’s the first thing I see when I come home'.
Beyond the picture perfect styling, the flow of Natalie's home is so well considered, and this, in combination with its generous proportions, make it a fantastically user-friendly space for this very busy family. Nat is also still very fond of the exterior elements she originally fell in love with- 'our house is surrounded by garden and the changing exterior colours are a charming complement to the interior of our home, and bring me much joy' she says. The central location, not far from the Yarra River and Botanical Gardens has also been a wonderful blessing for Nat's large family - 'It is an absolute treat to be so close to the city and walking distance to incredible parks for the kids' she says.
Massive thanks to Natalie, Brian and family for sharing their beautiful home with us today! As a busy Mum with an incredibly successful business, Natalie's story is inspiring in more ways than one. I feel very lucky to be able to share with you today a slightly more personal look into her world.

Such a classic and imaginative home! LOVE LOVE LOVE the pin board!!
To me, the beautiful artworks are the absolute stars of this warm and elegant home – without making it feel like a cold art gallery. Instead, it is like a cocooning and welcoming art gallery – but also feels like a family home. Not so easy to get that balance right, without it looking over-styled. Nice to see full timber pelmets too – so practical, for dust and thermal efficiency.
Amazing! Love Love Love
What a gorgeous home! Everywhere you look is inspiring, especially the workspace! Love the dressing table full of perfume!

What a cool bedroom with the Keith Haring prints!
Such beautiful products, home and packaging!
I particularly like the “embroidered cushions hand stitched by Natalie, replicating the kids’ drawings”. That is such a COOL idea. Will definitely use it once I have kids. :) I like the combination of eclectic artworks on the wall and simple, clean architectural lines of the house.
These products look great and I love that they are organic. The house looks great too – so much colour.
The Buddha from Ubud resonates serenity,harmony and peace – beautiful home,beautiful person, and beautiful products – for a wonderful winter!

I am so inspired by Natalie’s home that I’m going to have to go back to my builder and change my new kitchen completely!….and my favorite Bloom product -Cuticle Quencher. I’ve been using it for the last 5 years and it does the job beautifully. Thanks DF for featuring Natalie’s home.
The houses just keep getting better, lovely abode.
There isn’t a single space in this home I don’t love.. Jealous! The loungeroom, light fittings & use of space above / around the rangehood in the kitchen is genius! :)

I’ve always admired Natalie Bloom – amongst other things I did a day of temping at Bloom several years ago and she made a point of coming in, introducing herself and telling me all about the company.
Love the dining room table! Her office is amazing, she is truly inspirational!
Gorgeous
What a beautiful home! I love the artwork ‘Family’ by Mirka Mora – so colourful and fun. I am inspired by Natalie’s idea of embroidering cushions in the likeness of the children’s artwork – might have to copy that idea… :)
Sounds like a deal! x
I love all the art work!
I adore Natalie’s home. I especially love the hanging chair in the lounge. These pictures have given me inspiration in my own home decorating.
Who says you can’t put colour in your life ,or your work space. Don’t follow trends or professional decorating advice, follow your heart.
Gorgeous house …. oh to have the budget and that lineup of artwork to play with!
Thanks for the tour!

Natalie’s home is simply stunning. Love all the gorgeous art. I have been a long-time supporter of all things Bloom. Am currently living with an original 1960s bathroom (complete with mauve bath). Trying my best to jazz it up a little with beautiful accessories. These Bloom products would be a super fine addition. Thanks for the opportunity x
Gorgeous home – love the colours throughout the house. Beautiful.
Great art collection – love the wall of David Band works.
Beautiful. Love the rich colours and the perfect mix between pretty/industrial kitchen.

I remember when I was studying Bussiness in school 2007 and we watched a film about entrepreneurs, Natalie Bloom was one of them. As I grew up and got a lot more awareness about organics and natural cosmetics I fell in love with the smells and feel of Bloom cosmetics. Now today as I am heading into the world of Bussiness myself with Miss Molly, Natalie is a huge inspiration to me. Her house is even more inspiring with all the colour, texture and design that is behind it all. Thanks TDF for this peek.
Blooming beautiful.
Such a lovely home love the paintings and colors – would love a bit more bloom in mine
Wow, there is some great inspiration here!!
Such a beautiful home and such a lovely smelly giveaway. x
Bloomin’ luverly!
Beautiful home – though I really wanted to see more of the outdoor spaces that drew Natalie to the place!
Wow. Those Mirka Mora paintings are amazing. Love!
what a lovely house – i especially like the hand-stitched cushions. Natalie’s pinboard is spectacular!
What a beautiful home! Great interview Lucy, thanks to Natalie for letting us all have a sneak peek into her gorgeous home
Bet it smells nice too!
Now that is one impressive art collection….Howard Arkley and Mirka Mora.
Oh that kitchen!!!! I don’t particularly like cooking but Nats kitchen really inspires… Perfect!
Crossing my fingers!
such pretty packaging!
“And that’s your ‘bloomin lot’ “, so said the wonderful organic gardener and former host of Gardening Australia. I’m wondering whether he had the luck of seeing Natalie’s gorgeous family haven in person.
My hands and lips would love some bloom product to counteract the winter harshness.
I loved the Mirka paintings – how inspiring to see those every day.
Natalie is an inspiration…all done with 4 kids. Still so creative.
What a beautiful home, I love the family art work!
I remember seeing this home years ago and am such a believer that classic lasts forever. How wonderfully this home has blossomed over the years with its touch of style, whimsy and wondrous additions as the family have grown larger. This was such a joy to revisit. Thank you Natalie and Lucy.
I’ve used bloom since my early teens, I just couldn’t resist the pretty packaging back then and I still can’t!
What a beautiful home, lovely personal touches everywhere …. and that pinboard – j’adore! Much food for thought as I prepare to move into my new house this week. Thanks for sharing Natalie!
Beautiful home and a beautiful family. Love Bloom!
Natalie’s style blossums and creativity blooms in all she touches
Love everything about this home but especially the Mirka artwork would die for a personalized painting she is so talented.
So many different textures and colours, practical and beautiful… the way a home should be.
Wonderful to see such a beautiful home; must have 4 very tidy kids & a super organised Mum! Inspiring.
just saved that AMAZING home in my fav’s folder. I have not used Blood since I was a teenager when it was my staple product – would love to rediscover it again…especially given that it’s organic
Beautiful home. I love the Mirka Mora painting.
What a beautiful home… And a spectacular Howard Arkley!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Definitely has that feel of a place you just can’t wait to come home to! x
W.O.W. I wish one day my home would look like this. And that wall in the study…MY DREAM!! Everything looks absolutely stunning. It’s inspiring me to redecorate my room…
Clever, stunning and stylish!
Would love to try these
Bloomin’ luverly

I love the height of those timber kitchen cupboards – nice proportion to the high ceiling. Thanks for another lovely space!

Thank you, Lucy, for this story. And thank you Natalie and family for sharing the pictures of your home. I love the way the house incorporates real art in all the rooms. And it is very inspiring to see Natalie’s work table and collection of pictures on her pinboard. Her hand embroidered cushions are so precious. Lucky children to have such an amazing and creative mum as a role model.
so good to peek into the life of such an incredible australian creative.
I especially love those gorgeous hand stitched cushions Natalie made of the kids art work – so beautiful and inspired. I wish I had a mum like that!
love bloom. love david band.
One thing that really strikes you about Natalie Blooms home is just that its a beautiful warm inviting fresh light home. With amazing art by (I can almost imagine very like minded to Bloom) local melbourne artist such as Mirka Mora. What an Inspiration you are Natalie. Your Children and Family are lucky to have you. Im new to design files daily – I’m loving every moment, drinking up all the inspiration and love between all the glorious images. Thank you, Thank you, thank you!
Beautiful home. Love the Mirka Mora painting!
I wish i had a home like that! :)
blooming gorgeous!
A few years ago we met Natalie in store at Myer and she was very kind and generous with her time for our young girls. It was the highlight of their trip to Melbourne. Being able to live your childhood dream and to continue your style from your home to the Bloom range, always timeless and clever is very inspirational. Congratulations Natalie Bloom on all your hard work and dedication to all that you do.
How do you put a wolf whistle into words??
Absolutely divine. One of my favourite house tours on DF. So may ideas to steal!!
love the embroidered cushions, inspiring idea
What a beautiful family home, and such an inspirational lady. Love the family portrait, so unique and personal.

The post about Natalie Bloom has definitely made my day today. Especially, Her story and some details referring to her work. Of course, I couldn’t notice the interesting photographs, but the description of the interior and exterior is much more inspiring than a pictures. Thank you!

Very femine touch to your beautiful home with added quirky nic nacs and amazing colourful arts works. Impressive!

This home is full of harmony, sigh. I did love the photoshop on her home office Mac…. I spent too much time on each image, but that is the love of what you do. :).
