Inside Luke O'Halloran's Colour-Drenched Melbourne Apartment: A Designer Wallpaper Collaboration by Pickawall & Liberty Interiors
When it comes to creating unforgettable interiors, few design trends make a statement quite like colour drenching. In an exciting collaboration with Liberty Interiors, Pickawall was proud to help bring interior designer Nicole Rosenberg's bold vision to life inside TikTok star Luke O'Halloran's stunning Melbourne apartment.
The result is a vibrant, personality-filled home where custom wallpaper, rich colour palettes and playful styling combine to create one of Melbourne's most inspiring residential interiors.
A Home Designed Around Personality
Luke wanted a home that felt warm, unique and unapologetically fun. Having previously worked with Nicole Rosenberg on his brother Scott's family home, the recommendation was easy.
"Trust me – use Nicole."
Nicole's brief was simple: create a home that reflected Luke's larger-than-life personality while remaining comfortable, liveable and timeless.
"I wanted to bring his personality into the apartment with colour and quirky pieces that would make him happy," Nicole explains.
Over eight months, Luke, Scott and Nicole transformed the apartment into an immersive interior that proves bold design can still feel calm, welcoming and sophisticated.
Custom Wallpaper That Transforms Every Room
One of the standout features of the apartment is the spectacular custom-designed wallpaper, produced and supplied by Pickawall.
Rather than treating wallpaper as an accent, Nicole embraced it as a central design feature, using large-scale patterns, layered textures and carefully selected colours to completely transform the spaces.
The whimsical jungle-inspired bedroom has quickly become Luke's favourite room.
"It's the space everyone talks about," Luke says.
"The wallpaper is a bold choice, but with the bedding, rug and curtains, it all comes together beautifully. Waking up surrounded by the jungle feels incredible."
Projects like this demonstrate how professionally designed wallpaper can completely redefine a room—adding depth, character and a level of individuality that paint alone simply can't achieve.
“It’s the space people talk about the most when they come into the house,” says Luke. “The wallpaper is a bold choice, but with the bedding, rug and curtains, it all seems really soft. It’s surreal waking up to the jungle feel around you.”
Yet despite the big-impact moments awaiting discovery in every corner, a cocooning calm prevails, proving that serenity presents in many styles and, indeed, hues.
As for Luke, who shares the apartment with his caique parrot Zazu, he can’t imagine anywhere he’d rather call home.
