A bold beachside blend

Posted on Mon, 16 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Blending distinctive design with global influences and bespoke craftsmanship, Jase Sullivan is known for his bold use of colour, texture and form. This beach side home in Melbourne’s Middle Park is vibrant and full of personality, layered with vintage finds and uplifting energy. It’s playful and a little unconventional with a confident mix that reflects Jase’s unique, fearless approach to design.

Designer Palmer Weiss and architect Charlie Barnett joined forces to replace an abandoned barn with a vacation home/compound that is part English country, part Scandinavian chic, and part American hunting lodge. A winning combination that is both warmth, as well as bright and airy with tons of personality. Photos: Francesco Lagnese.

A colourful Georgian home

Posted on Thu, 5 Jun 2025 by KiM

This bay-fronted house has a beautiful Georgian facade and a 1960s extension to the rear. We celebrated its quirky patinated walls and wonky wooden floorboards. In all our projects we hand pick antiques, but here we focused on Arts and Crafts furniture, a style that our client loved. We also created bespoke pieces such as the ebonised dining table. This was inspired by an antique piece and was designed to fit the curve of the bay window to ensure it was the best spot to hang out with family and friends. The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
This house has such an uplifting energy about it, and I LOVE that designer Lonika Chande maintained and embraced some of the history. Those living room walls on either side of the fireplace with the peeling wallpaper is really beautiful. Photos: Milo Brown.

I love the blend of traditional and contemporary styles in this beautiful Highlands fishing lodge designed by London-based Harriet Sale. Her layered aesthetic incorporates textures, patterns, and pieces with provenance, and really warm and liveable colours that add such a welcoming feel. A lodge with impeccable style.

Ivy House is the stunning personal residence of Matt and Heather French, founders of French & French Interiors. Nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this territorial-style home is a vibrant expression of their signature aesthetic. A playful fusion of color, pattern, and texture, the Ivy House embodies bold creativity and uninhibited design. With full creative freedom, Heather and Matt reimagined traditional style, blending hand-painted wall murals, eclectic pattern mixing, folk-inspired textiles, and unexpected yet delightfully surprising details throughout. Set against a breathtaking natural backdrop, this home is a true reflection of their visionary approach to interiors.
Not for the faint of heart, or the faint of pattern in this case, this home is a maximalist’s dream. A deeply personal project but also artistically ambitious. Tons of patterns and the prettiest of colours join forces to create a warm, country farmhouse vibe that is incredibly inviting. Photos: Jenna Peffley; Styling: Robert Rufino.
