There is a connection. A physical tug at my heart strings. There is an acknowledgement, an empathy, an understanding. There is also envy. These rooms speak to me in calm, steady but persistent whispers. Enter. Be still. Dream. Interiors by Wick Design.

I found this compact São Paulo apartment designed by Brazilian architect Alan Chu and had to share. It’s got micro square footage but Alan made such great use of limited space. A single wall was converted into storage for both the kitchen and living room, which kept the majority of those spaces free for basic furnishings. I think he and the owner like subway tiles. 🙂 The spiral staircase is compact and a gorgeous architectural feature. Overall, a really cool space. (Via Casa Vogue Brasil)

I have never had the opportunity to stay in a hostel, but OMG how sweet is this one?! We Hostel Design is located in Vila Mariana, Brazil, and was designed to offer the comfort, style and refinement of a boutique hotel. IT SURE DOES considering it’s in a 18th century 450 sq m mansion. Love all the vintage finds throughout, black ceilings  and overall funky vibe. I would absolutely love to stay here!

A little taste of the timeless, bring-a-smile-to-your-face-and-make-you-want-to-pull-up-a-chair-and-stay-a-while spaces created by Toronto interior designer Jill Greaves.

Cool, calm and collected. Not quite. More like colourful, vibrant and fun. Zest and zing from Perth-based interior design firm Collected. Family homes with style and personality. Modern mixes with rustic, touches of industrial sit well with texture and tribal and all meet with a splash of colour and a dash of midcentury. Just the way Australians love to live.
