I am smitten with this Oregon coast newly built home designed by Anne McDonald. All of the wood and natural materials used throughout, and the earthy colour palette make this home so warm. Happy to see it’s not your typical beachy blue and white theme (bleh).

Just one look at this North Bondi beach house by Kate Pulsford of Villa Interior Design and it feels like summer. Seamless indoor outdoor rooms, casual but sophisticated family living and beautiful light flooding in.

Our design strategy centered on deferring to some of the important rustic elements while introducing color and pattern and emphasizing handmade materials. In collaboration with our client, we selected and procured all finishes and furnishings, including vintage lighting and furniture to pair with modern classics and custom designs. Intricate patterns and bursts of color were concentrated within some of the smaller spaces to allow the larger areas to act as a neutral foreground to the stunning views and gardens surrounding the property. The clients wanted to highlight a collection of artifacts from their travels, so these were creatively worked into the program.

“When we enter a space we are confronted by an array of elements that ultimately shape our comfort levels. We are met with a feeling and a response to the visual that surrounds us.”

This Deepdene home by Melbourne-based Studio Ezra is a sanctuary in the city. With a limited colour palette, it is an exploration of materials and textures, a celebration of the senses.
