bucolic /bjuːˈkɒlɪk/ adjective: relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.

Let’s run away to this rural idyll. A meandering of rooms, a clash of wallpaper and a Togo sofa hiding from the more traditional furnishings. I’m in love. A private house in Normandie by Tristan Auer.

Sometimes I think I should be jealous. These Parisian pads are just too chic, too stylish, too fabulous. I really should be jealous but they’re soooooo good I don’t have the time to indulge in a little green-eyed envy. I’m too busy pinning all the inspiration. An apartment in the 8th arrondissement by Atelier Leymarie Gourdon.  Sigh.

“GSDC’s objective was to create a feeling of laid-back luxury, true to Vancouver’s style. Curating a selection of unique and bespoke pieces from both local and international designers helped to create distinctive space true to Gillian’s signature style.”

And the biggest luxuries of all, the space, the views and that light! Fabulous contemporary Vancouver living by Gillian Segal Design Company.

Or at least that’s the way Moscow and St Petersberg-based interior designer Tim Veresnovsky describes this apartment in Komarovo on the Gulf of Finland. The rendered walls, terracotta tiled arches (the wrong side of the tile was used for its texture and colour) and rich wood panelling play into the tonal colour palette of rusts and browns. Sophisticated and stylish. A far cry from the brutalist Soviet sanatoriums by the ocean.

“With incredible views towards the southern wild ocean and northern views to the enclosed and stunning pool lawn and flourishing vegetable garden, we wanted to create an ‘Australian’ villa in the landscape by the sea. Internally, we aspired to creating spaces rather than surface, creating atmosphere rather than rooms; creating both a generosity of spirit and serenity as a background for happy family life.”

As stunning as its rugged setting this sophisticated contemporary beach house is definitely no shack with its expansive views through large glass windows, open plan living and a sheltered oasis of a garden behind. Flinders House by Melbourne-based Susi Leeton.
