This warm, tranquil home features ancient stone, reclaimed wood floors and richly coloured tiles complemented by opulent wallpaper and antique lighting. Bespoke cabinetry maximizes space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, nursery shelves, and bedroom wardrobes. The full renovation of this compact Victorian house revealed stunning period details by removing false walls and boxed-in fireplaces. Precision planning included new electrics, plumbing, and fixtures, creating a cohesive layout that reflects the owners’ personalities. The Victorian Renovation by Emily Dobbs Interiors.

A contemporary family home, hidden behind a traditional facade, integrates seamlessly into the streetscape. Angular skylights and custom windows illuminate the interior and frame garden views. A small courtyard enhances the living and dining areas, fostering indoor-outdoor connections. Earthy, botanical tones unify the space, turning garden views into vivid artworks.

YSG‘s latest project in Byron Bay saw an exposed brick residence with heavy timber elements reinvigorated and infused with seventies inspiration. The design features checkered patterns with terracotta pavers, cork and porcelain tiles, Kimberley sandstone, travertine and marble. Custom finishes, including chrome details and timber privacy devices, add intricacy. Vintage elements range from fifties Italian to seventies styles enhanced by handwoven African wall hangings and embossed wallpaper.

Take a homeowner with a serious collection of art and vintage, add in a designer who isn’t afraid to embrace colour and maximalism, and the result is an absolutely delightful home that is busting at the seams with personality.

This 19th-century Georgian townhouse served as the client’s London retreat. With a global travel background and an art and fabric collection, Nefarious crafted a unique residence reflecting their style. The kitchen’s structure was preserved, with bespoke marble tops and a subtly green-painted island. The Salon featured a mix of off-the-shelf, bespoke, and antique furniture, creating a conversational space. Patchwork curtains added nostalgia. The primary bathroom was designed as a neutral oasis with soft beiges and brass fixtures.
