The project welcomes guests with vibrant patterns, colors, and surprises in every corner, evoking cheerful comfort.
Drawing influence from the homeowner’s home country of Brazil, this home is sophisticated, bold AF and so full of joy. I get that this would be a lot for most people but I admire the creativity and colourful palette. Another fabulous project by L’Éléphant. Photos: Francisco Nogueira.

A manor house set within the storied landscape of the Douro Valley, where time seems to stand still and serenity prevails. This project by Lisbon-based interior design & architecture firm L’Élephant thoughtfully brings together a curated selection of pieces, merging traditional and classic elements. Each room unfolds like a narrative, rich with character. The interiors reveal themselves gradually, filled with intricate details and deliberate choices that pay homage to the past while embracing the present. Exquisite!!!

This home required a full refurbishment from top to bottom where the existing space was gutted, and the layout was completely reimagined. The brief was to create something impactful, unique and fun that suited both the adults, and their three children. The space needed to be practical, with plenty of storage and room for the children to grow and have their independence whilst also giving the adults their own oasis of calm in the formal living room and master suite. The client trusted us to create bold and playful schemes in every room which completely transformed the house from a traditional property, to something truly unique. So many of the design decisions in this property are bespoke, and everything about it is personal to the client, resulting in a one-of-a-kind home.
The drama and whimsy, attention to detail in every space, the impactful colours used make this home really unique and full of personality. Designed by Mia Karlsson. Photos: Ben Sage.

Previously an uninhabitable 19th-century relic left untouched, tucked away on a rural property in Regional Victoria, the owners requested Greg Natale perform a complete restoration, including the rebuild of the façade to include a tiled porch and front garden. Now a charming one-bedroom homestay for friends and family, Barwon Cottage is a fusion of colourful upholstery and contemporary eclecticism in an English Country house style. Inside, a cosy living room features sink-in seating stacked with cushions, stationed around a Federation-era marble hearth. From the floral rug to checked Roman blinds, this room is thoughtfully layered with intricate prints and chintz textiles in muted heritage colours, true to the English Country house aesthetic. Throughout the home, exposed wood on the floors and ceilings connects with the rural setting with a rustic touch and a subtle nod to the home’s history. In the bedroom, the earthy green striped wallpaper, teal-checked carpet and opulent blue upholstery impart richness and warmth, while olive-green joinery and botanical wallpaper from Ralph Lauren keep the kitchen bright and cheery. Each room is complete with brass details and elegant swathes of marble, along with animal print and fringe trims for some good old-fashioned fun.
Greg Natale does it again, and is after my own heart. I have been loving English country style as of late but he of course takes it to a level of chic that I absolutely love.

An article by 1stDibs calls this New York townhouse ‘Opium Den meets Palm Beach’ and now anything else I say is going to be irrelevant. This is a combination of all the things I love that could be seen as ‘tacky’ by some – Chinoiserie, leopard print in various colour schemes, blue and white china – but Joyce Sitterly put these ALL TOGETHER and it is the most fabulously whimsical and over the top home I’ve seen in a while. J’ADORE!!!! Photos: Ollie Tomlinson
