Australian Designer and kaftan queen Camilla Franks’s house is exactly what you’d expect. Loud, colourful and full of artistic treasures.

With floor-to-ceiling wallpaper made from her own designs, it’s no surprise the colourful Woollahra home has garnered a spot in the NSW list of Top Homes of 2023.

Affectionately known as ‘Villa Camilla,’ the luxe property is packed with a medley of colour and sparkly embellished pieces. Franks purchased the four-bedroom, 1800s Victorian terrace in Sydney’s Woollahra five years ago. Since then, the designer has reworked the space to create something of an eccentric fairytale.

The open-plan, sun lit kitchen and dining area features airy paintwork and sleek cabinets, and a large hanging plant to add an extra life to the room.

Outside you’ll find rustic stone pavers, a pool surrounded by Greek island white tones and a built-in fire pit, making it feel like you’re in Mykonos or Ibiza. Perfect for entertaining guests.

Described as her ‘happy place,’ the Woollahra home is a testament to Franks’ life and travels and one of the more quirky designs to make the NSW list of Top Homes of 2023.
