Clella Design approaches every project as a collaborative and personal experience, crafting spaces that reflect each client’s unique style. For Chickering Lane, a home in Nashville’s Oak Hill neighborhood, the studio transformed the home to align with a newly updated modern kitchen. Three bathrooms were completely renovated, the fireplace was given a fresh modern look, and each room was fully furnished, resulting in a cohesive, inviting home with a playful, distinctive personality.

Ashby Collective brought new life to a 1940s home in Austin’s Old Enfield neighbourhood with a respectful, detail-driven approach. Original trim and colorful encaustic tiles were preserved or re-created maintaining the home’s charm. A state-of-the-art kitchen and hidden pantry were seamlessly integrated. The result is a subtly modernized residence where old Austin character remains intact, complemented by playful vintage decor and a Gen X–focused art collection curated by the home’s creative owners.

Sydney-based architects and builders CplusC designed a modest retreat nestled high in the bushland of Sydney’s Palm Beach for a semi-retired couple and their family. Rather than imposing on the steep, rocky site, the home is lightly perched among the treetops, celebrating simplicity and nature. Built using prefabricated elements and oversized hardwood beams, it avoids excavation and embraces the landscape. Expansive timber decks and a cargo net bay offer tranquil spaces to relax, immersed in sunshine, birdsong, and breeze. The design reflects the clients’ wish for a compact, low-impact sanctuary grounded in humility and connection to place.

This bay-fronted house has a beautiful Georgian facade and a 1960s extension to the rear. We celebrated its quirky patinated walls and wonky wooden floorboards. In all our projects we hand pick antiques, but here we focused on Arts and Crafts furniture, a style that our client loved. We also created bespoke pieces such as the ebonised dining table. This was inspired by an antique piece and was designed to fit the curve of the bay window to ensure it was the best spot to hang out with family and friends. The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
This house has such an uplifting energy about it, and I LOVE that designer Lonika Chande maintained and embraced some of the history. Those living room walls on either side of the fireplace with the peeling wallpaper is really beautiful. Photos: Milo Brown.

I love the blend of traditional and contemporary styles in this beautiful Highlands fishing lodge designed by London-based Harriet Sale. Her layered aesthetic incorporates textures, patterns, and pieces with provenance, and really warm and liveable colours that add such a welcoming feel. A lodge with impeccable style.
