My love affair with New York firm Selldorf Architects continues. A vast, lofty, wide open, light streaming in, killer industrial windows type of lovin'. Stark white expanses anchored by dark floors and warmed by wood and colour blocks. And the whole idea of descending down into a TV "pit" just makes me grin like an idiot. Great bones brought to life with great design.
Colour is great! And what is better than colour? More colour. Don't get me wrong. I love a taste of Scandi boho white mixed with timber floors and midcentury goodies so imagine great big swathes of saturated colour like a palette knife across a canvas or a cake. Yes! Colour is the icing on this cake! Fabulous family home by Bestor Architecture.
I love neutrals. I really, really do. But sometimes ...
I need ...
just a little bit ...
more colour! Fabulous interiors from neutral to super saturated by Landy Gardner Interiors.
... and Brazilian. Apartment living that is fun and fab. I love the design coming out of Brazil. A mix of cutting edge contemporary and retrolicious with a riot of colour and art. It's young and fresh and fun. Residence Canario by Maurício Arruda.
Just a few more houses from Sydney interior designer Karen Akers. The first, in Roseville, is a finalist in the 2013 Dulux Colour Awards. The second, in Gladsville, made the same finals in 2012 and was shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards as well. Traditional and contemporary. Light, bright and colourful. Joyful, fun and fab.
