Coasters Chance Cottage in Cutler, Maine saw Moore House Design add a modern coastal flair to a 1820s cottage. Both the new extension and the old house have a wabi sabi feel celebrating the natural, the imperfection of old houses and the handmade. Vintage and bespoke furnishings along with beautiful rugs fill the house while simple vignettes please the eye.

You didn’t think I was going to let it go too long without plunging into the portfolio of  New York based design firm Monica Fried Design? With its clean lines, chic materiality and details, mix of vintage and modern this Scarsdale home is just about perfect.

Sophisticated modern living in a sea side community with nary a beach cliche in sight. Instead strong use of colour emphasised by natural materials, attention to detail and bespoke pieces. What do I love most about this Cardiff by the Sea house by Brazilian-born but southern California based Kitchy Crouse of KC Interior Design? The dark and brooding bar area and that seriously sexy powder room with custom quartzite sink.

“A rustic-modern vineyard estate designed to prioritize the home’s soaring views. The interiors thoughtfully layer textural finishes to bring the comfort level up and balance the large scale of this inspiring residence.”

It’s about the materials, the light and the details in this Napa Valley home. Modern lines and natural finishes bring warmth and style while always on view are the stunning exteriors. Favourite parts? The shelving in the living room and the light-filled kitchen. Calistoga by Jennifer Robin Interiors.

My second apartment today is filled with morning light. So much so that it is definitely one of the design elements beautifully employed by designers Akin Atelier. With its spectacular position on Campbell Pde in Bondi and the expansive views over the harbour the monochromatic interiors celebrate what is outside the windows while providing an oasis of calm within. Neutral, sophisticated beach side. Perfect.
