Previously an uninhabitable 19th-century relic left untouched, tucked away on a rural property in Regional Victoria, the owners requested Greg Natale perform a complete restoration, including the rebuild of the façade to include a tiled porch and front garden. Now a charming one-bedroom homestay for friends and family, Barwon Cottage is a fusion of colourful upholstery and contemporary eclecticism in an English Country house style. Inside, a cosy living room features sink-in seating stacked with cushions, stationed around a Federation-era marble hearth. From the floral rug to checked Roman blinds, this room is thoughtfully layered with intricate prints and chintz textiles in muted heritage colours, true to the English Country house aesthetic. Throughout the home, exposed wood on the floors and ceilings connects with the rural setting with a rustic touch and a subtle nod to the home’s history. In the bedroom, the earthy green striped wallpaper, teal-checked carpet and opulent blue upholstery impart richness and warmth, while olive-green joinery and botanical wallpaper from Ralph Lauren keep the kitchen bright and cheery. Each room is complete with brass details and elegant swathes of marble, along with animal print and fringe trims for some good old-fashioned fun.
Greg Natale does it again, and is after my own heart. I have been loving English country style as of late but he of course takes it to a level of chic that I absolutely love.

Nefariousd Design has transformed a tired two-storey terrace in central London into a warm, characterful home full of personality. Clever spatial reworking and sensitive restoration introduced light, flow, and modern comfort while retaining its original charm. Inside, the client’s eclectic style shines through—velvet sofas, marble counters, and brass details sit alongside vintage finds and modern art. Warm oak floors, bespoke joinery, and layered textures create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The result is a spirited, contemporary London home that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

A young family approached our studio and asked us to help them gut-renovate a Landmarked townhouse they had recently purchased in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Both clients love color and tile and these elements became a key part of the overall renovation project. We selected a porcelain tile that is playful, fun and has a timeless aesthetic to use throughout the parlor floor. we installed a checkerboard blue and white tile pattern all the way down the length of the parlor primary hallway, rather than the typical wood floor one normally sees. Color plays a key role throughout the home and, in particular, on the parlor level. Door frames are painted in various bright shades, the primary hallway has a blue paint wainscot that wraps around into the mudroom zone, and the center living space (and future library) is painted a shade of deep green. One of the early requests the clients made during our design process together was for a pink kitchen. Although there is lots of color used throughout the home, the brighter hues are carefully balanced with large areas of more neutral tones.
If bold primary colours are your jam, then this home is right up your alley! Designed by Studio Officina, this is a really fun take on colour. As much as I love colourful walls and ceilings, I am also obsessed with neutral walls and boldly painted trim and windows. Photos: Louisa & Fyodor.

Michiru Higginbotham is a Sydney-based residential architecture and interior design practice that blends Australian openness with Japanese simplicity. Their work balances innovation and tradition, functionality and beauty. Cremorne Deco, an Art Deco residence on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, has been reimagined with a pared-back palette of warm timber, quartzite stone and subtle colour. Original porthole windows and curves were preserved, honouring its heritage while creating a serene, contemporary home connected to the garden beyond.
