WOW there is alot going on in this home and I REALLY love it. Zoë Feldman Design took a very unique approach with the choices of colours and patterns throughout the home and the result is alot of fun and fabulously eclectic. Also, if you ever doubted the power of high gloss paint….
Color, pattern, & texture fill this eclectic Spring Valley home. Our client’s, fans of all things British, fashion, and believers in the “more is more” adage, quickly challenged us to find our inner maximalists. However, the real task was to create cohesion in such a layered and whimsical space. Our goal was to show enough restraint, without sacrificing any interest, to curate a natural relationship between the spaces. We utilized patterns and colors that one may not typically view as neutral to create a sense of layered complexity. In the entry, the leopard print stair runner serves as an organic neutral that enhances the effect of the floral patterned wallcovering. Throughout the home, small scale pattern serves as a complimentary juxtaposition to larger scale prints in a way that a solid would never be able to achieve. The kitchen serves as relief, a sort of palette cleanser, by using tonality over prints. The entire space is a study in balance leaving one to question everything they ever thought was true about neutral.

A Spanish villa located in a pine forest in Valakampiai a district in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius.  Not quite what you are expecting?  Interior designers Gabija Pažarskytė and Karolina Juodeškaitė of Dizaino Virtuvė have been inspired by the Mediterranean for this four storey house nestled amongst the trees. A materials palette of  concrete, rattan, stone and ceramics recalls Spain while for me the standout features are the cast iron tiles and statement blue spiral staircase rising from the foyer to the first floor. Handcrafted timber beams, a thatch roof, stylish sauna area and the very first squat toilet we have featured on the blog complete the highlights.

I love the contemporary vibes and brightness of this home, another project designed by IDF Studio. After purchasing a two-story flat in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow, our client asked IDF Studio to create a home that reflects her fun, playful personality and her love of animals. We embraced the challenge of including animal artwork and the color pink into a refined, sophisticated space.  Tonal pink features prominently in some spaces, and is a subtle accent in others.  The result is decidedly feminine.

I love this home! Eclectic with a bit of a traditional vibe mixed with cottage casual chicness. Such pretty and soothing colours. Designed by Meredith Kleinman.

It’s not often I would call a minimalist scheme sensuous and dramatic. What typically springs to mind is cold and stark but in this Toorak house by Melbourne-based interior design firm Larritt-Evans the simple lines are enhanced by luxurious fabrics and sinuous lines. Those dark blue drapes are like looking into a midnight sky while the sweep of the staircase is more theatre than a means of transitioning a space.
