The other day I was talking to my twin about how much I love neutral, earthy spaces but with lots of dark pieces mixed in because drama is always necessary, and fabrics with lots of texture and warmth to them. I feel like L.A. designer Katie Hodges has really nailed what I had in mind with this home she designed. There is a uniqueness to each room which I can also appreciate.

Clean modern lines play against almost rustic exposed brick walls while an industrial vibe is balanced by natural materials in this contemporary family home. Indoors and out meet seamlessly while private spaces are soft and restful. Functional, cohesive and considered. Lot B Bridge House by Sydney-based interior design studio Lot 1.

Timeless style with a muted colour palette, a contemporary/classic take on updating a Tudor in Los Altos Hills, California, by Christine Lin of Form + Field. A couple based in Asia tasked us with creating a comfortable family home to host 3 generations and guests. Stylistically, the wife prefers modern while the husband has slightly more traditional leanings. We struck a subtle balance between the two styles, respecting the Tudor style architecture, and incorporated family heirlooms throughout the space.

Relaxed, beachy, simple … and simply beautiful. What’s not to love about this Amagansett beach cottage by NYC and Hamptons based interior designer Marie-Christine McNally of Marie-Christine Design? A neutral colour palette elevated by the use of texture, an eclectic mix of new and old, nothing overly precious or pretentious, just welcoming timeless design perfect for a beach getaway.

Still dreaming of travelling outside of Australia. I think our borders will be closed for quite some time. It’s great to have some sense of security in these trying times but it doesn’t stop my mind wandering to distant lands … or in this case not so distant. Time for a little virtual getaway to Casa Palma in Canggu, Bali. Simple, uncomplicated holiday style.
