AFL superstar and Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield has unveiled the stunning transformation of his family home on the Victorian coast, working with acclaimed stylist Julia Green to create a vibrant new look.
A colourful refresh for the Dangerfield family
The Brownlow medallist, who shares the property with his high school sweetheart wife Mardi and their three children George, Felicity and Winnifred, opened the doors to his newly renovated home for a glimpse inside. The residence, located just off the Great Ocean Road, has undergone a dramatic shift from its previously monochromatic style to one filled with personality, confidence and warmth.
What began as a small refresh project quickly evolved into a more extensive overhaul, with furniture pieces from GlobeWest helping to define the character-filled interior. Julia Green, known for her role as a judge on Seven’s My Reno Rules, provided her expertise throughout the process.
Design inspired by the coastal landscape
The Geelong captain said the new design feels more personal and inviting. “The courage to live a life in colour in your home is a pretty cool thing,” he remarked. Green drew inspiration from the surrounding landscape, particularly the sweeping ocean views visible through floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room off the kitchen, which Dangerfield named as his favourite part of the home.
Other standout features include pastel pink petal-shaped light shades hanging above a pristine marble benchtop in the kitchen. Throughout the house, pops of colour are thoughtfully placed to create an interesting and relaxed atmosphere.
Bright bedrooms and a western-style study
In one of the bedrooms, the bright and light theme is prominent, with a red pinstripe bedhead standing out against red gingham sheets and a blue doona. Meanwhile, a study area exudes western vibes, thanks to a cowboy painting and a timber feature wall.
The Dangerfields purchased the Moggs Creek property for approximately $2 million in 2016 and lodged a planning permit application to build a $1.2 million residence in 2018. The two-storey home also includes a surf check tower above the roof, accessible via a spiral staircase.
