My monthly email from Inside Out magazine’s Managing Editor Lee Tran Lam landed in my inbox and I got colour bombed! It’s time for their April Colour issue with its two covers and promises to be a rainbow kaleidoscope of fun interiors.

There’s one unapologetically vibrant home that I think you’ll love… It belongs to stylist, retailer and international pilot LeeAnn Yare, and her home is an express trip through a memorable world of colour. (I love that she waited until her husband Glen went away surfing before setting out to paint the living area black – seize the day, indeed!) A leftover wallpaper roll gets a second life as bright harlequin-style patterns multiplying across her kitchen island bench, while even her children’s bathroom is decorated with Florence Broadhurst motifs. My favourite example of her wonderfully unreformed love of decoration is her office space, where the a vintage-looking carpet is cut into a cowhide shape and her walls have rejected anything resembling a blank space – the surfaces are covered in stretches and patchworks of wallpaper – she says it’s like working inside a gigantic moodboard! LeeAnn styled the story and it was photographed by Larnie Nicolson. 

Wow! Can’t wait to see more in this month’s issue out tomorrow. Don’t fret if you aren’t in Australia though. You can read along on  Zinio, Google Play,  the Apple Newsstand and Nook.
