After years of travelling the world, interiors specialist Simone Haag found her calling back in her home town.
From glamorous international nomad to darling of Australia’s design world, interiors specialist Simone Haag’s rise has been meteoric. “I’ve had a host of amazing jobs – working as a flight attendant on private jets, in a heli-boarding operation in Canada, as a snowboard instructor in France, and in events at the chic Sanderson Hotel in London,” says Haag.
Among all this, Haag, 44, and her husband Rhys have had three daughters and renovated their first home . They are now lovingly restoring “Light Well House”, another modernist gem in Melbourne’s east. The four-bedroom, double-brick home was designed by architect Ian J. Smith and built in 1972. It has two lounges, a study and a separate studio and guest bedroom.It’s such a treat to have my own study, with space to ponder projects and lay out fabrics and finishes,” says Haag.
Haag can’t speak too highly of the location, either. “It’s all about the incredible open spaces – we’re on an acre and can’t see any other homes, plus the walk to school is through a magical bushy track,” she says.While the family are enjoying their home in its original condition, there are plans for the future. “We’re here for the long haul, so it’s just small adjustments for now, like some new lighting and updating the window treatments.
