This three-storey home blends seamlessly with its coastal surroundings, offering breathtaking ocean and greenery views. Inspired by palm fronds, its design balances curves and straight lines creating dynamic light and shadow. Organic interiors feature fluted travertine, timber, rattan, marble and seagrass wallpaper. A clear sightline enhances flow, while expansive glazing connects indoor and outdoor spaces. Earthy tones and handcrafted furniture add warmth, complemented by layered rugs and decorative lighting, resulting in a richly textured, inviting and stylish living environment.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Casa Valle by Studio Gaincarlo Valle.

If Alfredo Parades‘ Long Island mansion wasn’t fabulous enough, prepare yourself! This is his Shelter Island weekend house and it is everything you could want for chilling out on weekends. It started off as a small 1870s Victorian cottage and was added on to over the years. Alfredo took on the restoration work in an attempt to enhance it’s original features and the historic aesthetic. It is bright and airy, with beach vibes and tons of vintage touches that make it casual and inviting. Photos: Bjorn Wallander.

Spring Hill Residence, a heritage-listed home near Brisbane City, underwent a meticulous restoration with interiors driven by Samantha Leigh, reviving its federation-era charm. The design preserves historic elements like pewter and antique brass hardware, arched interiors and seamless transitions between checked marble and timber flooring. Hand-painted joinery, lime plaster walls and a curated mix of vintage and modern furnishings create a rich dialogue between past and present.

Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.
