Thanks to reader Rach who reminded me I hadn’t posted a real estate post for sooooooooooooooo long I decided it was time to start house stalking again. Thankfully the market has picked up and there are design treasures popping up again … like this Surry Hills terrace designed by Tribe Studio Architects. From the structural ply kitchen and shelves to concrete floors spilling out to a courtyard through sliding timber doors to the owner’s great taste in mid century classics. The perfect inner, inner Sydney pad. Link here while it lasts.

The home of Washington, DC interior designer Melissa Colgan is the perfect example of how adding lots of patterns and layers in a small space (712 sq ft) can make it feel much grander than it is. There are so many styles going on here and it’s so thoughtfully curated and everything works so well together. This is how you do eclectic!

I’m having heart palpitations over the Guatemalan home of designer Rodman Primack. Colours and patterns and textures (and the tile!!!!!) within spacious rooms and incredible soaring ceilings make this home spectacular.

A beautifully curated, carefully layered home with an eclectic mixing of styles from mid century to Asian to vintage. The result is open and light with a timeless appeal. Oh to be the owner of this Colonial Bungalow in Singapore’s Harbourfront by Davina Stanley of London-based Paper + White.

Begone boring beige and wimpy white. We want colour in the kitchen and we want it now. Tower Hamlets Road by London-based kitchen designers Pluck.

“This colourful open-plan kitchen in a Victorian terrace in North East London is about family life. Our design includes a large larder and an extra wide peninsula to provide generous worktop space and lots of storage (nine drawers, three cupboards and the open shelves to be precise!). The palette is Effra, London Plane and Market Mustard.”
