This project consisted of a farmhouse with two large barns: a “party” barn for the adults and a kids’ barn. A complete refurbishment was undertaken, including a large kitchen/snug extension built on to the Farmhouse. As the Farmhouse had to be completely furnished from top to bottom, our client wanted help with making the place feel like everything had evolved over time. They also wanted “colour” introduced into all the rooms.
The colours and patterns used here by design firm Compton Smith Interiors exude a soft, welcoming charm that feels both timeless and gently whimsical. The vibe is rooted in rustic tradition but it’s lifted and lightened by a palette of blues, greens, yellows and reds that jive so well together.

We worked closely with long-standing clients to transform this elegant 18th-century house on the Devon estuary into a relaxed and characterful retreat. Blending classic country house design with a youthful, practical spirit, we introduced layered textures and handcrafted details throughout—balancing tradition with a fresh, thoughtful approach. The result is a warm, welcoming home that honours the building’s heritage while capturing the energy of the young family who live there.
Designed by HÁM Interiors, they really nailed the ‘updated traditional’ approach with this spectacular home. Hats off to these talented designers as this is exactly what was called for.

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.

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.
