“A city pied-a-terre situated in a beautiful and historic Edwardian building, overlooking lush gardens with a backdrop of Table Mountain. A pale envelope showcases a collection of antiques and textiles.”

Spring Hill Residence, a heritage-listed home near Brisbane City, underwent a meticulous restoration with interiors driven by Samantha Leigh, reviving its federation-era charm. The design preserves historic elements like pewter and antique brass hardware, arched interiors and seamless transitions between checked marble and timber flooring. Hand-painted joinery, lime plaster walls and a curated mix of vintage and modern furnishings create a rich dialogue between past and present.

A once-dated layout was reimagined into an open, airy retreat, eliminating hallways and transforming the courtyard into a dynamic outdoor room. Three beautifully designed suites, including a striking bunk-room studio, maximize ocean views, allowing natural light to stream in.

Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.

This decoration project was for a repeat client with a charming ancient stone cottage in Wiltshire. They had done a renovation on the cottage several years before we met, but always felt that it was lacking in character and energy. So the brief was to bring energy and colour into the house without making any changes that would require building work. Since the house was already fully furnished, we focused on recovering all of the clients’ existing furniture and redecorating the walls. Newly added finishing touches like lamps, shades and cushions brought the schemes together. Looking at the finished house I’m so glad that the clients’ strong happy energy is now reflected in their home.
Designed by Brandon Schubert, this home is imbued with so much charm I can hardly stand it. The colours and all of the lovely vintage patterns are sooooo perfect for this 16th century Wiltshire cottage. Photos: Boz Gagovski.
