As I always say if you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. As I am an employee of the 80s I’m totally into this modern interpretation of the period. Gnomo by Masquespacio.

William T. Georgis is an architect and interior designer from New York whose style is very much high-class with some wacky, bold accents such as massive graphic wall art, some very bizarre sculptural art, the most beautiful curved sectional I think I have ever seen, and “bullet glass” in a bathroom. Statement spaces that are innovative and far from trendy.

Just because you have white walls doesn’t mean you can’t be surrounded by colour. Even better, just because you rent and have white walls which you can’t paint, doesn’t mean you can’t do colour with style and flair. So much inspiration from this property styled by one of my favourite Melbourne homewares shops Fenton & Fenton.

This pied-à-terre by Alexandra Kidd Design starts with a classic aesthetic and ramps up the impact with bold bursts of colour. Rich pinks, reds and oranges are splashed across the living room with vivid art works and fabrics but the energy is tempered by neutral walls and floors. Watch out for the bedroom though. Yellow and fuschia reign. An apartment where small makes a big impact.

Monday already? Where did the weekend go? If I had my way I’d be on permanent vacation in this colourful and quirky home in Ibiza by interior decorator Luis Galliussi. Just looking at these pictures puts a smile on my face. So much fun. Can you imagine what it would be like to actually be there? That will be my happy thought as I face the coming week.
