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
Nothing was cute in the 90’s, and a home from that era would be lacking some architectural details that make a home special, among other things. Enter Lauren Elaine Interiors. She added in some picture frame paneling in the foyer, custom bookshelves with fluted pilasters in the dining room and many antiques and
vintage elements to make the home feel like it has been around a century. Photos: Aimée Mazzenga.
West Bend House, located on a lush site in the Melbourne suburb of Northgate, offers stunning views of the wildlife belt and onto the city. MRTN Architects designed the home and Brave New Eco handled the interiors for a family of five. The house is fully electric with sustainable features like solar power and rainwater tanks. Custom joinery and detailed interiors, including a timber kitchen, plush living room, and functional study, were crafted with the clients’ needs in mind, creating a warm, practical, and beautiful living space.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The Skin Bar, Narrabeen by The Make Haus.
