Stately homes, refined and elegant. These are the domain of Madrid-based interior designer Lucía Gómez-Acebo.  Think classicism, antiques, a restrained colour palette and beautiful finishes. Whether high street or the designer’s take on rustic living, homes embrace elegance, style, comfort and luxury.

“A grand heritage home was transformed combining vintage and contemporary signature pieces from Australian and international designers, resulting in a showcase home that whilst exciting and arresting is still comfortable and inviting. An eclectic collection of furniture fittings and finishes was curated to produce a stunning result.”

The designer Christian Lyon calls this project Another World. Another world indeed. I’m transported to a land of luxury and style. A chic and sophisticated home in my dreams.

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 just like Romanek Design Studio‘s own workspace.

Just one look at this North Bondi beach house by Kate Pulsford of Villa Interior Design and it feels like summer. Seamless indoor outdoor rooms, casual but sophisticated family living and beautiful light flooding in.

We have been featuring the work of renowned photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes for many years and I was delighted to hear from him the other day. He wanted to share the home he recently purchased and renovated (it was in quite a state when he bought it, and there are before photos at the end of this post). It is a triplex apartment in Hackney, East London that is available for photo shoots and features some retro vintage furnishings that has always been his signature style. Graham’s new home is fabulous with a kitchen that is now modern and filled with light from 2 large windows, a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, a gorgeous modern bathroom tiled with large format tiles resembling polished concrete with corner bath (looove!!!!) and a lofty bedroom that also has great windows.

He’s done such an incredible job with this home, getting rid of the bland and ugly and creating a cool, vintage-vibing place. I had to share some of the before photos given the condition it was in which shows how much of a project this was. Great job Graham!!!
