Dipping into the portfolio of interior designer Julia Barnard. Fabulous fabrics, comfy upholstered chairs, roll-top baths, overblown flowers and the smell of beeswax on brown furniture. I can hear the whack of cricket ball on bat, smell the scones in the Aga, know the kids are home from pony club soon and all is well in the English countryside.

You know the room, the good one, the one at the front of the house you never use. You’re always out the back in the family room while the good room gathers dust. Not if the good room is styled by Simone Haag. Think 70s funky meets contemporary chic in a room lined with rich Edwardian wood panelling and whimsical wallpaper. It’s vibrant, it’s fun and it’s definitely not a musty, dusty Good Room.

I’ve been following artist & designer Josh Young on Instagram for some time now and realized we haven’t featured him on the blog – until now. Based in Washington, his style is heavily influenced by several years he spent in Milan. It has distinctive European, old world elements mixed with a bit of sophisticated modernity and always very neutral. So very pleasing to the eye.

Sydney-based design firm Arent&Pyke was commissioned to complete the interior design and furnishing of this home extension designed by  Luigi Rosselli Architects. The light-filled interiors combine luxury touches with family living all warmed by a colour palette of rose and terracotta.
