Perched on a Byron Bay hillside, Misty Creek Farmhouse has been transformed by Studio Isaza to bring warmth, charm and practicality back to a once dated home. Led by founder Jana Isaza-Smith, the project embraces the client’s playful spirit while grounding it in timeless materials and thoughtful detail. What began as a simple consulting role grew into a close collaboration, resulting in a home that feels joyful, layered and unmistakably personal.

This 18th-century barn has been reimagined by Berkeley Hawkes with an easy respect for balance, natural materials and a strong sense of place. Drawing on the calm symmetry of Georgian architecture the interior balances rustic texture with refined detail. Raw beams meet finely panelled walls, reclaimed oak and honed marble lend warmth and permanence. Antique pieces and salvaged elements layer history into the space, creating a home of enduring depth, rooted in contrast, crafted with soul.

Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.

Abbie Naber of A. Naber Design undertook this comprehensive interior and exterior renovation in La Quinta, encompassing furnishings, kitchen and bathroom upgrades. The design preserves the integrity of the original Spanish architecture while enriching it with layered pattern, texture and colour. Mediterranean details were thoughtfully aligned with contemporary elements to create depth, harmony and continuity. The completed home offers a refined expression of its architectural character.

Set within Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Emerald House breathes new life into a heritage-listed 1890s Victorian residence. Alexander & Co. craft a dialogue between past and present, where family living and entertaining unfold within layers of history and modern ease. Light and landscape flow through a new rear extension, connecting the reoriented kitchen and family spaces to a lush north-facing garden. The parent’s retreat becomes a private haven, complete with walk-in robe, balcony and ensuite. Inside, a palette of burgundy and green stone, dark timber, brass and leather strikes a balance between drama and serenity, yielding a home both grounded and glamorous.
