I lost my heart when I saw the shingles and then the rest of the house blew my mind. A totally “un-Hamptons” Hamptons home by Fox-Nahem. Luxuriously comfortable, elegant, livable and packed with personality.

From the folks who bought you the Urban Cowboy B&B in Brooklyn comes their partner (or should that by “howdy partner”) property in Nashville. So hip it hurts. A riot of pattern and colour where high Victorian meets Wild West meets artisan and kitsch. Time to round up the posse and make trails to Tennessee for a getaway.

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl of LA-based interior design firm Life.Style. are all about bold statements. Bright colours often used in large doses, graphic tiles and shiny brass make for some sexy spaces that are fun and dramatic. The bathroom above is everything and then some.

I’m on a mission, a colour mission and the interwebs have taken me to La Minervetta Maison, a boutique hotel in Sorrento, Italy. With a decorating style not for the faint hearted it draws its inspiration from fishing villages and all things nautical, the Memphis movement and the whole 80s vibe. Fun and in your face it’s the perfect spot for one piece swim suits, floaty kaftans, incredibly large floppy straw hats, platform espadrilles and enough gold jewellery to drown you in the crystal blue Mediterranean Sea. Part theatre and movie set, part Italian maximalism. But sadly my quest continues for the ultimate colour overload. As much as the hotel makes me want to whistle Neapolitan love songs there are still all those white walls.

The makeover of this inner city Sydney pied-à-terre saw a nondescript apartment become a celebration of personality and charm. Too often inner city living is thought of in terms of slick finishes and sharp lines, hip and hard. Not here. It’s all about colour, pattern, a stunning harbour view and a whole lot of fun.
