It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Café Petriole by DUELLE.

“This Parisian pied-à-terre combines Haussmannian elegance with a modern décor. The classic volumes, mouldings, and fireplace add a timeless touch, while the marble floor patterns and soft hues create a subtle contrast, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the space.”

When in Florida…..bring on the pink! One of my favourite designers, Annie Brahler of Eurotrash, grew up in South Florida and designed this Naples home in “traditional Floridian” style but with her own dramatic, blingy spin on it. She went full-on with pink and the warm Florida weather and all the beautiful colours of the landscape are the perfect backdrop for such a bold approach. Photos: Dan Cutrona.
Up-Down House in Sydney’s Surry Hills saw Brad Schwartz Architects transform a narrow, dark terrace into a bright, flexible home with two bedrooms, two workspaces and inviting areas to relax and entertain. A stepped floor increases volume, while skylights and voids bring in light and frame treetop views. Vaulted hallways and a front dining room reference the Victorian terrace era. Concrete floors and integrated steps connect spaces seamlessly, while rich materials and sculptural elements add creativity and warmth.

A playful take on elevated interiors, this project by Altus Design Studio blends bold, colour-infused aesthetics with carefully curated art and objects. Prioritizing function and form, spatial planning was key, especially with expat clients overseeing the renovation from Asia. Redesigned joinery optimizes space, enhancing double-height ceilings in the casual living area. Earthy clay tones flow seamlessly throughout, creating warmth and cohesion. The result is a striking yet highly functional home that balances beauty and everyday living.
