Detail oriented

For Jen Cherian of Annarya Design it is all about the details. A kitchen that had great bones so only a rework was done – the different stones with painted and dark wood cabinetry makes this look so classic and timeless. A little corner retreat in the bedroom to read a book with a cup of tea. The tiniest of powder rooms with large-scale floral wallpaper and a custom marble sink. Archways in bathrooms – in one case with a different colour tile on the outside wall. One with diagonally laid checkered marble floor (a fav of mine). A retro vibing laundry room with black and white checkered tile floor. Love every bit of each of these spaces.

A villa in Tuscany

I don’t think I have ever wanted a portfolio to have more photos than this absolute gem of a project by designer Martin Hulbert. Maybe I need to retire to Tuscany. Photos: Mark Bolton.

A 1930s Art Deco hunting lodge near Paris

Posted on Sun, 20 Jul 2025 by KiM

On my hunt for a château to share I came across this home and it was game over. This is so incredibly cool and for some unknown reason has been for sale for many months and is still not sold. Whenever it does sell, the new owner better not touch a friggin thing! For sale via Daniel Féau for €1,975,000. (Some photos via The World of Interiors).
For Art Deco lovers, the house of the architect Pierre Petit who exhibited in 1937 at the Universal Exhibition. The house dominates its park of more than 3 hectares with tennis court, rose garden, vegetable garden, pond and garages. Very bright with high ceilings, the house is remarkable for its conservation in its original architecture on which several renowned artists have intervened such as the sculptors Jean René Debarre and Georges Guyot, the ironworker Raymond Subes and the master glassmaker and mosaicist Joseph Jean Kef Ray; many of the lights are signed Perzel. The entrance is grandiose in its verticality with its carved door and polished stucco walls, on the ground floor there is a lounge-bar and rooms formerly devoted to service. Upstairs, the kitchen opens onto a dining room that has remained intact and a double living room which opens onto a large terrace with panoramic views of the park. The upper levels serve 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, as well as a room with a billiard table. The mosaic floors are superb. The extensive park ensures the privacy of the property.

Parkside Residence by Maddux Creative is a sophisticated London home that balances elegance with everyday functionality. Designed with a focus on light, texture and form, the interiors blend vintage and contemporary elements to create a timeless, lived-in feel. A curated art collection adds individuality while each space is thoughtfully composed to enhance flow and comfort. From the tranquil living area to the inviting bedrooms, the design champions subtle materiality, layered finishes and a quiet sense of luxury grounded in modern living.

Headland House is a reimagined Art Deco residence overlooking South Bondi, designed by Sydney-based studio Richards Stanisich, an interior design and architecture practice known for thoughtful, emotive spaces. While preserving the original masonry shell, the design introduced a new upper level and restructured interior layout. Celebrating Sydney’s beachside exuberance, the interiors feature sculptural forms, rich colour, and materials chosen to amplify light. Gloss finishes, curved elements, and ceramic surfaces interact with sunlight throughout the day, creating a home that feels both vibrant and timelessly crafted.
