The moment you step through this grand entrance, you are immediately reminded of Marylou’s exceptional talent and passion for design. Her home is a true testament to her unique style – a perfect blend of eclectic luxury and timeless elegance.

Every room, thoughtfully adorned with cherished trinkets and meaningful memories, creating an effortlessly unified and welcoming atmosphere.

It is a haven of homely sophistication, where every detail has been thoughtfully created to evoke a sense of warmth and beauty.

This incredible home in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill is a feast for the senses, filled with pieces collected from Marylou Sobel’s travels from around the world. Each room tells its own unique story, making it impossible to choose a favourite space!

Marylou shares this enchanting space with her husband, and it’s never far from the hearts of her three daughters and grandchildren, who all enjoy the home regularly. The love and memories woven into every corner are tangible.

During the Covid lockdowns, Marylou drew on her creativity and transformed different areas of her home into unique dining experiences for she and her husband. Dining in such beautifully curated settings, surrounded by the exquisite treasures she used to style each vignette, turned the mundane into magical.

Styling tips from Marylou

When styling shelves, you can lay books on their side – and upright – creating another height and surface to place a candle, photo, sculpture or vase on.

– You can also use books and magazines to change the heights on a coffee table.

– When styling a dining table, keep objet and florals low so you can see over them.

– Use odd numbers when styling in groups, and use varied heights and textures.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
