Double Bay woman only allowing her child to wear clothes and play with toys that match the home’s decor
NEUTRAL TONES: In a bold move that’s raising eyebrows even among her style-conscious neighbours, A Double Bay resident has committed to dressing her toddler exclusively in beige clothing and providing only beige toys, all to maintain the seamless aesthetic of her meticulously designed home.
Emma Masters, a self-proclaimed “aesthetic perfectionist,” believes that a harmonious colour palette is essential not just for interiors but for every aspect of home life.
“My daughter Ruby is allowed to wear other colours while out, but at home she sticks to the strict beige only colour scheme for all her clothes and toys.” says Ms Masters.
“We had some difficulty finding her a beige toothbrush for her, but eventually we found one online.”
The 31 year old mother of one, who herself only wears beige at home, is fending off accusations of depriving her two and a half year old child.
“Why should a child disrupt the visual tranquility of my home?” she asked our reporter.
“Besides, children can be so overstimulated these days. A neutral palette is soothing.”
When asked if she plans to introduce more colours as Ruby grows older, Emma was contemplative.
“Perhaps we’ll venture into soft greys or muted pastels, but only if they fit in with the overall aesthetic.
