It’s not often I would call a minimalist scheme sensuous and dramatic. What typically springs to mind is cold and stark but in this Toorak house by Melbourne-based interior design firm Larritt-Evans the simple lines are enhanced by luxurious fabrics and sinuous lines. Those dark blue drapes are like looking into a midnight sky while the sweep of the staircase is more theatre than a means of transitioning a space.

“Our approach was to design each interior space with crisp, yet sparing architectural embellishments, punctuated by layers of unexpected surface materials and a museum-quality art collection … We wanted it to feel ornate, but also feel light and classical, with a hyper-modern edge.”

Designer Dylan Farrell named the project Georgian Modern. I call it a fabulous mix of different styles and eras with a museum-quality art collection.

White on white with natural elements, Mediterranean accents, the blue of the sky and sea, treasures from travels. It all comes together in the coastal holiday home of interior designer Carlos Serra of Mercader de Indias. Light, bright and cool.

Calm, cool and collected. This neutral haven in a historic San Francisco by Redmond Aldrich sees carefully considered balance of old and new, family and friends.
