Zana Lokmer is an artist, a stylist, a jewellery maker. She lamented to me that she is not a photographer. Zana I love the pictures you have shared with us. A bright and cheery front door with the family rules, a cute as a button kitchen, a cosy living area and a view of a garden and deck I can only dream of. A lovely home full of personal touches. You can find Zana’s etsy store here. You may have to race me for a necklace though.

A small one bedroom apartment in an unremarkable 70’s block. (We call them “six packs” in Australia.) A small one bedroom apartment that packs a punch. Clever use of a white base that is layered with colour and vintage finds. A small kitchen in an unexpected spot. Great use of mirror back splash and the fun of astro turf on the balcony. (Although the wide angle lens stretch is a little annoying.) Bijou yes. Pokey no. Big style small space in Armadale, Melbourne. Link here while it lasts.

Don’t let the white on white with gold accents fool you as you move through this Sydney house. A splash of colour on the front door, dramatic wallpaper in another room, cleverly patterned tile in the powder room give you just a hint of the riot of colour and wallpaper that awaits when you climb the stairs or venture out to the pool cabana. Interior designer Greg Natale takes it to another level with his bold pattern clashes, papered ceilings and bathroom tiling. A glam house, a wham house! Love the striped wallpaper down by the pool? Did the purple chevron paper in the Adore magazine post (the room complete with David Bowie and tufting) tickle your fancy? Both wallpapers are from Greg’s new stripe range for Porter’s Paints. Hollywood Regency meets retro meets rock star glam. Mix it up anyway you want.

The Greg Natale Collection is available from Porter’s Paints.

A simple, classic space. One passes through without a thought. Quiet, restrained and unpretentiously pretty. David Scott Interiors.

Drama, symmetry, classicism, modern art, order and sex appeal. Yes an unusual combination but we are talking about the high art interiors of Madrid interior designer Luis Bustamante. A sculptor and painter in an earlier career his interiors are passionate and with an artist’s eye for the balance of volume and shape and colour. Definitely not for the minimalist. High points for me? The black and white luxury of the dressing room, the art and that library! We have been keeping it simple on the blog for a little while. It’s time to step it up.
