Set in the leafy heart of Surrey, Polly’s House is a warm and soulful reflection of her vibrant personality. Designed by House Nine, the home balances timeless appeal with joyful expression. Layered with rich colour, abundant greenery and thoughtful detailing, each space feels alive yet refined. The interiors flow seamlessly into the surrounding garden, creating a sense of effortless connection between house and landscape, functional, elegant and deeply personal in every considered detail.

Eclectic Mediterranean meets Postmodern charm in this expressive forever home for a family of six in Gordon, a suburb on Sydney’s leafy North Shore. Set on a generous block with a tennis court and swimming pool, the two-storey Federation residence built in 1918 — now complete with a brand-new rear extension — has been transformed by Greg Natale into a charming collision of colour, character, and considered design. From citrus-banded ceilings to graphic chandeliers, Greg celebrates the joy of decoration while staying grounded in thoughtful craftsmanship. Traditional elements such as parquetry flooring, fluted wall panelling, and custom mouldings are reimagined through witty, contemporary interventions. Checkerboard zellige tiles, richly veined marbles, terrazzo flooring, and sculptural joinery introduce layers of contrast and depth, lending the home its eclectic edge. The palette moves confidently between soft European neutrals and irreverent jolts of red, chartreuse, and cerulean, expressed through nuanced gestures like red wine joinery and playful Murano glass chandeliers. Postmodern silhouettes appear throughout, from the angular Cassina console in the entryway to the round-footed tub in the primary ensuite.
Greg Natale has been a favourite designer of ours since the dawn of time, and he continues to blow me away with his creativity and always stepping outside the box. The main ensuite alone is a work of art. Photos: Anson Smart.

This home tells a story of balance, where timeless architecture meets lived in warmth. Our vision was to create a space that honors tradition while embracing the ease of modern family living. From layered millwork and vintage finds to soft textiles and inviting furnishings, each room is designed to feel collected, comfortable, and enduring. The result is a home that’s as refined as it is welcoming — a place to gather, unwind, and make forever memories.

Dallas designer Leslie Jenkins creates homes that are cultivated, collected, classic, and custom with a nod to the traditional. But with flare. And in this case she dubs it “french flare”. It’s pretty pastels (I particularly love all the shades of green used), pretty patterns and attention to detail everywhere you look. Gorgeous!
