It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. White and wood with pops of greenery and mint. The studio offices of interior designer Marta Castellano are so fresh and fun.

Are you old enough to remember blonde brick? I am. Just the thought of it has me cringing. Many crimes against design sensibility were committed in the 70s in the name of the insipid blocks. Fortunately the 80s saw the popularity of blonde bricks wane, replaced by their chocolate counterparts. (Urgh! Dark brown bricks with tumbled edges… that’s a horror story for another time.) Back to blonde bricks or should that be that blonde bricks are back. Loving this contemporary home with a retro vibe at Sorrento on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. A series of pavilions make this holiday house just perfect for a getaway by yourself or with a crowd, this blonde beauty is by Melbourne-based residential design and construct company InForm.

It’s like I say week after week. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it better be somewhere stylish. Oh my! I’d love to work here. A former chocolate factory in Berlin now home to an online card game company by Munich-based architectural firm IFUB*.

You know what I say. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it better be somewhere stylish… and you can’t get more stylish than the San Francisco studio of interior designer Antonio Martins. Love his collections beautifully displayed throughout the space.

I get really excited when I come across a home with lots of character, where period details have been maintained. This 2 bedroom flat situated on the first and second floors of a traditional terraced house in Newington Green, north London is the home of designer Abigail Edwards, and several of her beautiful wallpapers and fabrics are featured throughout. Set against a backdrop of old wood floors, exposed brick and large windows, this definitively got me excited. Available as a location home through Shoot Factory.
