Built in 2020, Fleur and Tim Castle’s home in Longford, Tasmania, is a modern yet timeless space that beautifully balances style, family, and accessibility. Designed with the future in mind, the couple created a home that is not only inviting but also access-friendly for Fleur’s parents in their later years.
A Lesson in Timeless Style: Fleur Castle's Family Home in Longford
With a background in arts and design, Fleur’s creativity shines through in every detail. The home boasts an indulgent mix of textures and a harmonious palette, with green as the focal colour in many rooms. Each space feels like a vibrant celebration of life, with green hues grounding the design and adding a sense of calm. Whether it’s the lush Smith’s Lane cushion covers or the warm Kids Junior blankets, every element makes this home feel welcoming and rich in character.
How Arts and Design Shape a Modern Family Home
Fleur’s love for interior design and her arts background are reflected throughout the home. Carefully chosen materials and colours add a timeless quality to the space, while Waverley Mills’ luxurious pieces, such as the Terrain Cushion Cover Bay of Fires and Herringbone Blanket in Grey Marle (coming soon), complement the overall aesthetic with their unique Tasmanian craftsmanship.
Creating a Home for Family, Pets, and the Future
At its heart, this home is anchored in the Castle family’s core values—a deep connection to family, a love of animals, and a warm, inviting environment for entertaining. Accessibility and future-proofing were key factors in the design, ensuring that the home remains functional and comfortable for Fleur’s parents in their later years. The collaboration with Waverley Mills highlights these values, using luxurious textiles to add a rich layer of comfort and style.
