This may just be my favourite bathroom of all time. By deirdre doherty interiors. 

Modern and beachy, with touches of green and blues to remind you of the sea. A heavenly retreat on Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia created by Collected Interiors. Taking the inspiration from the coastal location, we utilised textures and colours inspired by nature and the ocean to accomplish airy and fresh interiors. Simple, clean, window treatments suit the beach lifestyle and louvered windows let the afternoon sea breeze in. Timber flooring was complimented by textured flat weave rugs, easy to shake off beach sand. A combination of materials and textures were used such as cotton, linen and hemp to create an organic natural feel. The colour palette of indigo and white takes inspiration from the Indian Ocean.

Harbour Edge House c.1910 reworked and extended by Fearon Hay Architects. An ethereal beauty. White floors, white walls, floating white drapes stirred by the breeze from the water beyond. Simplified and sensual. It’s love at first sight for me.

The awards have been decided, gongs to be given and it’s official. The World Architectural Festival has chosen the Dune House by New Zealand’s Fearon Hay Architects as the winner in the Villa category. Nestled in the dunes of a popular beach the home provides shelter and privacy, a raw richness and coastal calm. Interiors are in collaboration with Penny Hay.

This 70m² apartment also designed by Berlin’s NOVONO is pushing all the right buttons for me as well. Where the first apartment had a global vibe, this one is more masculine and industrial. What’s not to love? It is mostly black and white, has my dream chesterfield, a glorious dark teal accent wall, black and white colour scheme, reclaimed wood features throughout and subway tile in the kitchen. Yes, I adore this one too.
