Black and white theatre from design icon Sue Timney.

A sad little cookie cutter apartment has received a dramatic makeover by Brisbane interior designer James Dawson. His Marine Parade Apartment design features bold black and white wallpaper, polished brass custom designed door handles and a bespoke “hidden” kitchen island bench (sexy legs!). Have you noticed the trend of “non-kitchen” kitchens lately especially in small open plan areas? Perhaps not the best for family living but this bijou apartment is all about drama and theatre and definitely more striking bachelor pad than kid friendly hangout. Crack open the champagne darling. It’s in the fridge somewhere behind those gorgeous black doors.

Slick brick, textured minimalism, an emphasis on construction, on materials, on details. Raw and rough becoming more sophisticated, smoother as you progress through this prewar loft in NYC’s Greenwich Village. By Raad.

It is difficult to follow up a post like the last one, so here is a space featuring one of my latest favourite colour combinations – navy and gold. Via Caroline Cobbold Design. Speaking of blue, yesterday I tried out my sample pots of Farrow & Ball’s Railings and Black Blue on my foyer wainscoting and Black Blue wins by a mile. I cannot wait to get the space going (we just had a floor refinisher guy over on Saturday – waiting for his quote *gulp!*).

The master of light and shade, interior designer Michael Dawkins, crafts beautifully layered, sophisticated interiors. This New York apartment is moody, dark and delicious, a chiaroscuro retreat high in a Gotham City tower.
