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. I have complete built-in shelving envy. Designed by Birmingham-based Fran Keenan. Photos: Hector M. Sanchez

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.

Inside this Tudor-style home on the outskirts of Antwerp, Belgium, a richly layered scheme with roots in traditional English decoration which confidently straddles the tricky balance between lavish and liveable. “The resulting look, with its sense of whimsy and occasional eccentric touches, is calm, never chaotic, and has the easy charm of a home that has gently evolved over time.”
How could you not be smiling ear to ear upon entering this home? This is so fabulously maximalist, and I know some of you might be immediately thinking this is too much, but you have to appreciate designer Stephanie Barba Mendoza‘s unique and creative vision and her ballsy approach with the decor.

This 1797 historic Charleston home was restored with modern conveniences and designed by Tammy Connor with a bit of colour, and some really beautiful dark and moody spaces which have completely captured my heart. That custom painted mural in the dining room of a cypress swamp (by artist Raymond Goins) is absolutely breathtaking. Classically elegant with a Southern edge. Photos: Simon Upton.
