High amongst the tree tops is this calm oasis. Earthy, natural tones and textures create a peaceful setting for this contemporary home with interiors by Sydney-based Designers In The City. It would be easy to think that the rooms need scream to stand their ground against the stellar views but the designers instead have created a simple luxury the soothes and cocoons.

Sometimes it’s not about colour or pattern. From the portfolio of interior designer Benjamin Vandiver.

High end yet down to earth. Modern lines and a sense of tradition. Organic textures and the colours of nature informing the palette. This beautiful home in Menlo Park, California by Jennifer Robin Interiors is all about earthy sophistication and laid back luxury.

Like a dip in a cool, fresh stream I’ve been diving into the portfolio of Los Angeles interior designer Martha Mulholland and I don’t want to come out. Can you blame me? And these are just two of the beautiful homes she has created.

I’m daydreaming that I’m standing in this kitchen washing dishes. There’s a smile on my face. Yes I know I’m washing dishes but it’s not a chore in such a bright and airy kitchen. Simple and chic. Loads of style for not much lolly. I’d even be happy in the other kitchen. Other kitchen? You see this is a duplex in a historic Ole Hanson building with interiors by Californian interior designer Jesse DeSanti of Jette Creative. Past meets present, liveable meets loveable.
