I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around this being a “entertainment barn” and not the actual residence. I’d be entertaining the crap out of this space if it were mine. The kitchen is perfectly dark and dreamy and I’d enjoy the best naps up on those second level bed nooks. Rumson barn in coastal New Jersey designed by Ursino Interiors.

Rachael Gowdridge set up her design studio in 2021 with the desire to merge a wealth of knowledge in crafting experiences across high-end interiors with a creative, friendly and approachable manner for her clients. A mix of old and new, very neutral palette, wood accents…all creating a very calming and easy-going vibe that is timeless.

“A colourful, inspirational, and deeply personal family home set over four floors in a Notting Hill terrace for a lovely and creative young family. The traditional country house vernacular has been toughened up and given a little edge with an explosion of colour, pattern and a scattering of contemporary furniture and fittings.”

Somers House by Kennedy Nolan serves as a weekender, summerhouse and a family gathering space for the owners’ children, partners and grandchildren. Blending architecture and interior design into a unified approach, it exemplifies harmony between form, space and material. With charred timber cladding, ochre render and oiled Douglas Fir, the home offers a tactile, resilient design suited to its wild Westernport Bay setting. The palette, inspired by Gija artist Queenie McKenzie and Luis Barragán’s vibrant hues, balances robustness and warmth. Every element—from red travertine to textured finishes—creates a sanctuary where privacy and togetherness coexist, celebrating timelessness, weathered beauty and distinctly Australian coastal aesthetics.

Nestled in a historic neighborhood, the Allan residence speaks to the enduring appeal of traditional design. Here, we honored the home’s architectural heritage while weaving in layers of refined comfort. The living spaces unfold in a thoughtful rhythm – from a powder room wrapped in hand-blocked wallpaper to a kitchen where honed marble and antiqued brass tell a story of timeless materials. Rich textiles in measured patterns, carefully sourced antiques, and collected pieces work in harmony to create rooms that feel as though they’ve evolved naturally over time.
Classical elegance and such pretty warm colours that exude a bright and airiness but also act like a big hug. This home will be beautiful and relevant 30 years from now just as it is. Love that. By Hageman Homes. Photos: Will Reid.
