A writer’s stylish retreat is just one of elegant contemporary spaces created by West Australian Hartree & Associates Architects. The addition to the original 1911 bungalow is light filled, stylish, open plan yet intimate. Be still my beating heart. What I wouldn’t give to have such a wonderful office/library/music room.

This home is heaven. Weathered, textured, treasured, patinaed…it is rustic and worn and magical. Via Homelife (Photos: Mark Roper, Styling: Tessa Kavanagh)

This is my kind of house – modern mixed with traditional architecture. It is the best of both worlds. By HÛT Architecture. The brief was to create a family house that was minimal but not minimalist, with sleek spaces that still had personality. HÛT addressed the brief by creating a home that preserved the character of the existing building and merged this with exciting modern design. The major architectural addition came in the form of two slick black boxes to the rear of the property. These structures enclose a new staircase that leads down to large open-plan basement level, an area that forms the social heart of the property. (Photos: Matt Chisnall)

Is the job of an interior stylist merely to fluff the pillows? I think not! But that is the cheeky name of the tumblr site for Swedish interior stylist/decorator/product designer Myrica Bergqvist where you can follow her work. I love these unpretentious and quirky spaces.

An elegant simplicity. A carefully restrained palette. The joy of a treasured object whether a pencil sketch, a fragment of fabric, a book. New married with ancient, sumptuous with well worn. A selection of interiors by Michael Del Piero. The mix has never been so beautiful.
