“Gracing the edge of Port Phillip Bay, this coastal haven exudes a sense of seclusion, comfort and relaxation. Simple forms and restrained materials nod to holiday homes of the past.”
Pared back and beautiful. Soft yet hard. Private yet open. It’s not your typical beach getaway. Sorrento Beach House by Pandolfini Architects.

It’s fabulous to be back blogging in a new year. Here’s to 2022 being so much better and brighter than last year. I couldn’t think of a better home to start off the year than this apartment above a shop … but not just any shop. It’s Barracuda Interiors showroom in the sea side town of Comporta, Portugal. Think relaxed beachy vibe with natural materials, old found pieces and the occasional pop of colour against a bleached out colour palette. The perfect holiday getaway or imagine being lucky enough to enjoy it year round.

If you are going to embrace colour and pattern in your home, I saw GO ALL OUT. And this is how you do it. Patterns in florals, leopard, ikat and more, and colours in the richest, yummiest shades of raspberry, teal, mustard, plum, pink…. you’d think the owners are some extravagant, eccentric, worldly couple who have lived here 80 years. This London apartment was designed impeccably by Patrick Mele. (Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna)
