Plantasia designed by YSG is a playful, make-believe hideaway tucked into verdant hills on the New South Wales South Coast. It’s like stepping into a “choose your own adventure” book, where each room reveals quirky surprises from a treasure-filled dining nook to frilly lampshades and fancy carved wood. With bold colours and oversized details it’s a fun twist on old-school charm. And the sherbet-yellow Rockwell bathtub under a fruity canopy? Pure joy … like soaking in sunshine with a citrusy wink.

Belén Ferrándiz blends modern and traditional elements to create timeless, elegant and functional interiors. In this project—a restored home in a small town in Spain’s Santander Valley—she preserved original features like stone, shutters and ceiling details, painted white to enhance light. With open spaces, soft tones and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, the result is a serene, cozy retreat designed for relaxation and rural charm.

Studio Meghan Eisenberg embraces each space’s unique character, drawing from its architectural roots to shape a timeless, relaxed design. For a 1927 Spanish Colonial in Santa Monica, the firm restored the home’s lost charm for a young family. The result blends historical integrity with soft modern touches. Warm, natural furnishings complement the architecture, creating a vibrant yet serene environment that reflects the family’s lifestyle.

Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.
