Three Birds Renovations, in case you are unfamiliar, is a boutique renovation company created by three best friends. Swapping the boardroom for the building site in pursuit of a more fulfilling life, the stylish and savvy trio have since worked across eight projects, of which Lounge Lovers was thrilled to be included in their most recent, #bonniesdreamhome. We sat down with Three Birds Renovations Design Director, and homeowner of this particular project, Bonnie Hindmarsh to find out a little more about her inspiration and why she chose the Lounge Lovers products that she did.

- What was the inspiration for your living room?
I wanted to create a space that was quite formal in layout but relaxed in furniture choices. The White Linen Bronte 3 Seat Sofa was perfect in creating this look.

- Why did the Bronte Sofa Range suit this style so much?
I think the fact that it has a coastal relaxed feel. The white linen covers were a natural choice as it gives that really fresh vibe. I also think the ability to be able to have the Love Seats positioned quite formally facing each other was the winner.

- You have four young kids, was the fact that the Bronte has washable and removable covers a selling point for you?
Ahhh yes the biggest! And they're amazing... so easy to clean! I can’t rave about them enough! I literally dropped capsicum dip on them, red oil everywhere and it just washed out!!!!! In love! The washable covers are soooooo practical.

- What are the three key things to consider when redecorating (or renovating) a living room?
Natural light is key in renovating, the more the better. White paint can change your life and take a living room from dingy to AMAZING. Washable lounge covers are absolutely essential if kids and pets are involved.
