Kseniia Ponomarova
Diploma of Interior Design
My journey started as a kid, glued to renovation shows and loudly debating with the TV, convinced I could spot the real design flaws they missed. (Sorry, TV hosts!) Now, with a tape measure and a dash of stubborn optimism, I work to bring a bit of magic to spaces that tell their own stories—old buildings with creaky floors, crooked corners, and plenty of ‘character’ included. Each project feels like a new novel, full of twists and surprises and that one rogue lamp that insists on tilting, no matter where I put it. Life’s way too short for dull spaces, so I’m on a mission to make every corner feel special.
Lumen Vale
Lumen Vale Retreat is a tranquil haven where urban life meets the serenity of nature. Rooted in wellness, sustainability, and craftsmanship, it offers guests an immersive, personalised experience. Rooms draw inspiration from natural elements, blending the calming energy of forests, the warmth of sunlight, the soothing resonance of sound, and the healing power of herbs. Guests can customise their stay with curated scents, lighting, and schedules tailored to their needs.
Beyond the rooms, vibrant communal spaces foster connection and relaxation. The café, bar, and restaurant serve locally inspired, sustainably crafted meals, while the rooftop garden provides a lush oasis for dining and unwinding amidst breathtaking city views.

Fashion designer Kym Ellery is renovating her Mid-Century Modern home in Cheltenham, NSW, to create a nurturing sanctuary for her growing family. The project balances preserving the home’s timeless architectural charm with enhancing its functionality for modern family life.
