Intentional is the first word that came to mind when I spotted this new project in Dawes Point, NSW by Duet. It is fairly minimal and each piece is so sculptural and unique, and overall this home has such a sophisticated vibe. This also may be one of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever seen….which is crazy coming from me since I haaaaate white kitchens. It’s the perfect mix of rustic farmhouse and modern.

I love a sneak peek into a designer’s personal space. It’s like peering into their design zeitgeist. Thomas Geerlings of Dutch interior architecture and design firm Framework has created a home that is carefully curated with treasures and memories. With its sense of individual style and some amazing furniture pieces colour plays a huge part in the joy these family spaces bring.

Madrid-based interior designer Tristan Domecq is known for his elegant, European style and I love how he mixes styles and eras together seemingly effortlessly to create a very dynamic and intriguing space. This apartment in Salamanca, Spain has some Spanish influences with some strong French influences at the same time which I love. Why paint yourself into a box when you really don’t need to? Also every doorway should be wrapped in marble, don’t you think? Now that’s taking things to a whole other level of elegance.

Imagine a Parisian apartment blending old-world charm with chic 60s design and modern comforts, transformed by Ola Jachymiak Studio in Paris’s 9th arrondissement. Preserving features like parquet floors and tall wooden doors, Ola’s team enhanced the space with contemporary elements. Restored floors and doors maintain historical essence, while art adds depth. Retro touches like a black-and-white mosaic and bespoke furniture complete the design.

This apartment in Las Vegas goes against everything you think of when you think “modern minimalism”. For starters there is COLOUR. I was fully expecting this to be an all white apartment. Which would have been BLEH. And I get it when you collect art that you need a neutral backdrop to showcase it. But here designer Daniella Villamil used a pale blue – Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light. Such a pretty alternative to white! And a green kitchen – YESSSSS!!! (It is Benjamin Moore’s Forest Green). There is also a level of comfort thanks to a big squishy sectional sofa, a shaggy rug, lime washed bedroom walls, wallpaper and patterned curtains. Photo: Amy Bartlam.
