1904 Victorian by Jillian Dinkel is at once grand and serene. This interior designer’s own apartment offers the creative freedom to experiment with bold finishes and contemporary family spaces.
Located in Manly, the apartment has been entirely reconfigured, making the most of its north-east orientation and glimpses of the ocean. Bedrooms have been re-purposed into an open kitchen and living space, with plenty of natural light and plenty of room for daily life.
The project is an exhibit of texture and materiality. Features such as custom joinery in coloured walnut veneer, marble countertops and handmade Moroccan tiles, all proclaim this space as an interior designer’s own apartment. Dinkel has built upon the design brief to celebrate the building’s heritage features, like the detailed cornices and the grand hallway arch, with dramatic finishes such as wainscotting, decorative wallpaper and bespoke lighting. Dinkel brings a distinctly American perspective to the project, with marble tiles that reference Brooklyn and a cobblestone laundry-cum-mudroom.
The residence being the interior designer’s own apartment meant the space was primed for bold, experimental choices, such as a bedroom painted entirely black. Much like the rest of the apartment, this room is executed elegantly. Both practical and adventurous, personal and decorative, this project is undeniably an interior designer’s own apartment.

MY FAVORITE house & video on YouTube. I saved it on a different accounts playlist and searched like a bloody maniac for this! Phew! Thank God I found it!
Beautiful.
1:43 sure, you are special
Beautiful.
Does anyone know who makes the white leaf patterned ceiling lamp ? 🤔💡
Stunning!!! 🥰
The paint colours and the tiles are gorgeous, and I love what I can see of the rooms – but why are these house tours so focussed on the details, without giving an overview of the rooms: so frustrating for viewers!
Gorgeous
Where is this?
For me to say this is Amazing, is indeed a compliment. Well done.
When we look at it, it looks really is just an took help from different designers, but the ones that really impressed me are people fro
Wow! Such cool ideas! Inspires me to make changes to my project in planner 5d.
I wish they did the filming again with the lights on….
Beautiful
This is one of the most interesting instalments on this channel. It's such a break from the vapid contemporary trends you normally do. There's so much character, and the natural marble, wood, and tile are incredible. I'd love to see more of this.
What does being an American have to do with this video? After you said that you sound like a Kardashian. 🤮🤢😷
This is so incredibly beautiful.. the thoughtfulness in design can be felt in every inch! ❤️
Just Beautiful …
This woman obviously loves black…what a beautiful rich home with those noir touches….would have preferred a little more light in the hallway though!!!
This has got to be one of the most beautifully designed and decorated hone I’ve seen. Swoon. Love the lights, wall paper and tiles. So opulent 😍
Very special and inviting
the hallway looks great
Your property is not beach front.
I lived in Addison Rd Manly. That was harbour front.
So beautiful! This is the first time ever that I saw a wallpaper that I admired on the wall and which I think will be timeless.
Cobblestone might exist in the states but it is not American. A lot of the aesthetic isn’t american. It might be what she ends up with but it is definitely not new. The UK has been doing this style for ages. Still beautiful though.
The pendant lights were gorgeous, but the house was so dark with so few windows that it felt claustrophobic to me. She kept talking about the sun and I didn't see any room other than the laundry room that looked like it had much sun. Maybe it was just the way it was shot or the time of day of the shoot?
I am sorry, but this house is overdone and is all over the place. However, she said that she was experimenting.
Love this channel but the audio mix on this one is a little off compared to previous episodes.
perfect
this is an amazing apartment I just can't help but be curious if she called her dog an italian greyhound to sound fancy lol. it would be a massive italian greyhound I swear it's just a whippet hahaha
American first? No thank you very much.
WOW!
I had an all black room before. It was gorgeous. I would do one again in a heartbeat.
Why so dark?? A black bedroom?? Why?? To feel cool???
You are not a teenager that is painting his room black to ptotest against the world.. so many colors you couls choose.. when you mentioned that you are an american it all came together for me…you do not buy culture in a supermarket..even in a big one..
I presume that it is your taste and I respect that since it obviously make you happy…
But please do not try to convince me with your interior designe decision
never go full black, always leave one thing bright colored, to give the place some light
Could be the most luxurious and cosy feel ever for an apartment. Just wow!
Really beautiful… new yet feels established and grounded!
I am modern to my core, but this is how you do vintage!!!!!!!!!
Turn some lights on…
0:28 what advantage does a north east aspect offer?
What country is this?
I love her style! Yet the house's they are showing are NOT Victorians….
5:36 am Japan perfect time to see amazing houses & coffee …….🏠💖☕
So stunning!
