This Sun Valley, Idaho mountain home isn’t your typical ‘mountain modern chalet’ style. It is restrained, monastic, very much subdued in colour palette and architectural details, and has a luxe, Belgian vibe that embraces light so beautifully. As much as I love homes with history and old world architecture and doses of colour, this would 100% be what I would want in my second home. That primary bedroom is GOALS. I love a really dark and textural bedroom sooooo much. Designed by Studio MTN; Architect: Brunelle Architects; Photos: Aimée Mazzenga. (Stay tuned – the guest house coming up next!)

This Northbridge house draws inspiration from the Australian landscape, using warm neutrals, eucalypt greens, ocean blues and terracotta reds to create a confident, contemporary feel. Large windows dressed in soft sheers flood the open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas with light. Once light-starved, the home now feels bright and relaxed. Designed by Sydney-based Woods & Warner from concept to completion, every detail offers a fresh, modern take on the original Californian bungalow.

CHU Interiors creates homes that feel warm, layered and effortlessly lived-in. The studio’s design approach focuses on balancing old and new, mixing texture, tone and thoughtful detail to create spaces that evolve beautifully over time. Every room is considered for how it feels as much as how it looks … from an entry that instantly welcomes you in to golden-hour light spilling across this Lakewood,Dallas dining room. The result is a home that’s inviting, timeless and designed for everyday living.
