I have seen hundreds of mid-century modern spaces, but Troye Sivan's stunning entryway is my new favorite

Mid-century modern has been the style du jour for celebrity homes for a few years now, gracing the spaces of Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, and Diane Keaton.

Though I've spent cumulative days of my life trawling through images of celebrity mid-century modern homes, I've never seen anything quite like Troye Sivan's entryway. The Australian singer's space is the best example of the design style I've ever seen.

Troye worked with the acclaimed Flack Studio to transform the Melbourne-based Victorian property into his dream home. For those who love 1970s trends and Troye Sivan's music, the space feels like the perfect marriage of the two.

Part of the appeal of this mid-century modern entryway is that Troye and his designers kept many of the original 1950s features of the home. For instance, the clay and brick floors and the stained cork ceiling have been part of the house for decades. The imperfections of these older features tap into the offbeat nature of the mid-century modern style.

The wooden staircase is also a huge standout for me, harnessing the power of natural materials and open space. It instantly makes the property feel modern and interesting but also storied.

Finally, the space is the perfect answer to the question: how do you design a home that feels like you? By integrating antique painted pottery, stacks of books, and a large piece of artwork on the wall, Flack Studio created a space for the star that speaks to his individuality. Clearly, personality in design wins every time.


By embracing original features, the power of natural materials, and integrating personal touches, the perfect mid-century modern space is just around the corner. When you follow the rules and embrace your own eccentricities, you can't go wrong.
