A sophisticated waterfront apartment

Posted on Thu, 27 Oct 2016 by midcenturyjo

A contemporary upgrade to a Sydney Harbour apartment by Stacey Kouros Design. A limited palette of neutrals with a touch of blue and black is the perfect foil to the stunning water views and striking art collection. The result is an unstuffy sophistication, a liveable luxury.

Simple sophistication

A case study in sophisticated simplicity, this Toorak Apartment by Griffith Design Studio looks effortless but don’t be deceived. Its minimalist black and white palette with accents of wood and brass is beautifully and carefully composed.

I have had an undying design crush on Parisian architecture and interior design firm double g for too many years now. Yes it helps if you start with a building with great bones but no-one fleshes out those bones better than this French duo. This 200sqm apartment in Saint-Georges is just sublime.

You know how we are always writing “light, bright and colourful”? It’s a bit of cliché isn’t it? If a house isn’t painted black and full of goth like furniture then it seems that we bloggers pull out our standard phrase book and choose that old chestnut over and over again. Except that this family home in Spain IS light, bright and colourful… and super stylish. Las Tablas Apartment by Blossom Studio.

Colour spin

Posted on Tue, 11 Oct 2016 by midcenturyjo

Just when I thought that the simple life was for me along comes a big, bold kaleidoscope of colour and pattern and puts me in a spin. A riot of references from Hollywood Regency to old world Europe to sleek moderne with colour splashes more Gaudí than gaudy. A seriously sexy inner Sydney apartment by POCO Designs.
