Now THIS is how you treat a Craftsman style home right. You DO NOT paint over the millwork. You DO NOT get rid of pocket doors. You DO NOT remove original windows. Designer Jamie Haller maintained all the history and charm in this home (bless her) and enhanced it with bold patterned wallpaper, a bit of colour (that’s Calke Green by Farrow & Ball in the dining room) and some pretty light fixtures. A big round of applause from a fellow Craftsman homeowner. Photos: Jenna Peffley.

Howark is a small, dedicated team that values collaboration and thoughtful design. For this full renovation, they crafted bespoke furnishings to complement the client’s beloved artworks and antiques, creating a home that feels both cosmopolitan and cosy. Every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a space that is not only beautiful but also deeply personal and reflective of the client’s lifestyle.

Helsham House by Phoebe Nicol is a sensitive renovation of a mid-century modern home originally designed by Peter Hall. The project balances contemporary functionality with heritage preservation, tailored to a young family’s lifestyle. Nicol collaborated closely with the family, ensuring the design reflected their values. Key original features were retained, including cork flooring and timber joinery, while new materials echoed the 1970s palette, blending past and present in a cohesive, thoughtful transformation.

I have been following incredibly talented interior designer and photographer Carley Summers for some time now and just realized we haven’t featured her own designs on the blog yet. They are incredibly inviting and such soft and soothing spaces, and I love every one. She also has a real talent for creating absolutely delightful kitchens in particular. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do! (And if you haven’t picked up her book Sacred Spaces yet, I highly advise you get online and order one, pronto).

Overlooking Sydney Harbour, this Balmoral residence was designed by Eaton Molina Architects director Jake Eaton. (The project began during his time at Burley Katon Halliday and was completed at EMA.) The architecture balances light, scale and materiality, shaped through a collaborative design process. Landscape design by Dangar Barin Smith overcomes limited deep soil by using raised planters atop slabs. These create layered, thriving gardens with species chosen for resilience, forming a soft, coastal landscape that embraces the home.
