A huge thanks to David Zafra for sending us these photos of Restaurante Sexto in Madrid. David is responsible for the interior design and I can honestly say it’s one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever seen. The neutral colour palette is so soothing and his selection of modern seating is perfection. If the décor is this amazing the food must be heavenly!

Move away from the light my darling. Revel in the shadows. Deep within the bosom of this home, retreat, renew, resist the trauma of the harsh and jarring world. Live your life… darkly. Startling dark beauty by New York based Sawyer Berson.

Beautifully considered and refined. Minimalist luxury and stylish clarity. With an an exquisite shell by architect Luigi Rosselli, Alexandra Donohoe of Decus had two days preparation and two weeks notice to carefully curate the interiors of  this Sydney home. Definitely no ruffled feathers from the rush just sublime simplicity.

Barn door, beautiful reclaimed wood, a dose of yellow, black Eames dowel chairs, concrete floors = a fabulous casual dining space. Via Edwards Moore.

This itty bitty home is a renovated worker’s in Melbourne, Australia designed by Edwards Moore. A perfect description: Retaining the existing street frontage and primary living areas whilst fragmenting the building addition beyond. Creating courtyards which serve to separate yet connect the functions for living. A collection of raw and untreated finishes creating a grit that compliments the owners desire for an uncomplicated living arrangement. Echoes of the homes history are reflected in discreetly choreographed gold panels located throughout the space. An abundance of natural light refracting off the all white interiors create a sense of the ethereal, an otherworldly environment hidden amongst the urban grain. I love the grittiness – lots of finishing details in a home is really not my thing. This may be on the opposite end of the spectrum of a “finished” home but I find this homier.
