It’s like a stage, a theatre set for living. In the centre of this 75m2 apartment in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris sits a black box. Within lies the sleeping chamber of this edgy and moody home. Equally as interesting is the kitchen, laboratory like, waiting for its culinary chemist. Stylish French living by Agence Marie Deroudilhe.

It may only be 5 metres wide but as the architectural firm Dan Gayfer Design explains it’s all about “… a high level of functionality, flexibility, interaction and detail in a house with high ceilings, a high roofline and high levels of natural light.” It’s also high on style. The perfect partnering of spatial design and good looks. What can I say. It really is a High House.

When a classic Art Nouveau era house with beautiful windows and amazing old tile floors meets ultra contemporary furniture and fittings a little magic happens. What could have been a mish mash of conflicting styles instead is super stylish and super cool. Lesseps House by Barcelona-based Meritxell Ribé and The Room Studio.

Drama, glamour and pattern play. Three essential ingredients in any scheme by interior design maestro Greg Natale. Sydney-based Natale’s redesign of this historic Geelong house, situated on an equine estate, sees him weave his magic with dark, moody colours, geometric riffs and a repeating horse motif. But it’s not the grand rooms I’m concentrating on in this post. It’s his bathrooms and kitchen that have my mind spinning with ideas. I’m smitten by the powder room. Love. Don’t miss the rest of the house over on his website and if you love his work as much as we have here on Desire to Inspire over the years you simply can’t miss his book The Tailored Interior.
