Timeless and with an effortless style this apartment with sweeping views of across Sydney harbour to the Heads is light-filled and lovely. The views are front and centre while the interiors are serene and chic. An easy sophistication, a quiet retreat. Balmoral Beach Apartment by AP Design House.

Jamie Ivey of Richmond, Virginia based interior designers Ivey Design Group has taken a neutral new build (albeit with huge windows taking in the expansive views of woodlands and pond) and created a colourful and welcoming contemporary home. Crisp white walls allow pops of colour to delight and draw you into rooms while layering of textures warms what could have been a cold modern house. Think sophisticated yet family friendly, unique and definitely not boring.

“This romantic San Francisco town house, bathed in pale pinks and gossamer blues, belongs to an adventurous couple who live not far outside the city. Based on conversations with them, the fanciful conceit for our design was that this is a place where the husband comes to visit his wife in her private lair. As such, the décor falls decidedly on the feminine side. Vive la difference, vive l’amour!”

Softest hues, gossamer curtains filtering the light, cosy seating. Calm, uncluttered and carefully considered. Filbert by Studio Shamshiri.

What is it with the French? Why are they so stylish? Margaux Lally and Luc Berger of Lyon-based interior design atelier Lally & Berger have “it”, that certain “je ne sais quoi” no more evident than in their own home I’m sharing here.

Light filled interiors layered with colour and texture are the key to this renovation. Dark and heavy rooms were transformed into a lively family home, contemporary and charming. The ultimate luxury is the wine room divided from the living space by glass and steel walls. To think it was once a children’s playroom, now an adult’s playroom perhaps.
