A sophisticated colour palette and an inspired use of wallpaper and tile makes this Fitzroy house by Melbourne-based interior designer Kate Challis one of my all time favourites. It is brave and quirky, elegant and jewel like. It is in fact the designer’s own home, an ever evolving space, growing more and more beautiful with time. You can see an earlier version of this Melbourne house here.

This Toronto penthouse is what I would call feminine glam, with lots of white and accents of pink and black, and some really fun wallpaper accent walls for drama (and photo ops). So fun! Designed by Studio P Interiors. Our client is one of the top YouTubers in Canada, and one of her main requirements was to make every angle of this penthouse photo-worthy. We designed a large-scale custom trim pattern on the living room/lounge ceilings to create interest above, art deco inspired custom wall paneling in the master bedroom, with contemporary furnishings and art throughout the interior. Custom kitchen with spanish quartz stone, contrasted with matte black faucets and lighting, as well as unique black marble handles. The marble-inspired tile on the living room fireplace was one of our favourite focal points, running the tiles vertically to create drama and height, finished with a sleek gold edge. Fully custom master closet design with brass accents, back-lit shelves, and glass enclosed shoe shelves. Lastly we introduced pattern and texture through a variety of chic and edgy wall-coverings –also great for photo backdrops. 

I can’t get enough of the eclectic, European style of Daniel Suduca and Thierry Merillou of Suduca & Merillou. (See previous feature here). I thought I’d share some random photos from their portfolio that I just can’t get enough of. Mostly because of that photo above. Dying over the brown/olive wall with the unexpected addition of some teal.

There are a small handful of accounts on Instagram that I anxiously await new photos from, and Mexico-based interior decorator Dirk Jan Kinet is at the top of the list. His love of antiques and all things vintage (he has a shop in San Miguel de Allende that I am dying to visit but sadly it’s too far away from Puerto Vallarta where I go each winter and will be next month), his incredible talent at mixing bold colours and patterns always takes my breath away. Trust me when I say his account is a must-follow. Since it has been a while since I have featured his work (here and here), he kindly sent me over some pics and the rest I scoured the interwebs for (most from this article, photographed by Ana Hop). Enjoy!

Madrid-based designer Virginia Nieto takes neutrals to another level with this project where the vibe is a bit Hollywood Regency and a wallpapered ceiling is a beautiful thing.
