William Graper Interiors, a Los Angeles-based design studio, brings sophistication and soul to each project by blending elegance with intention and ease. Their Napoli Drive estate reflects East Coast refinement with California casualness. The library, a moody retreat, features rich wood panelling, a custom sofa and layered textures. The serene primary suite showcases Calacatta Gold marble and contrasting bath designs. Nearby, a grasscloth-wrapped powder room highlights tailored craftsmanship and timeless materials with quietly indulgent charm.

DREAM HOUSE ALERT!!! Vernacular Barn in Cashiers, North Carolina was designed by D Stanley Dixon Architect (interiors by Barry Dixon) and is my dream house down to every last detail (except maybe relocate it to France or even Canada). A newly built barn-style home, made to look old and it had been renovated into a residence. White-washed wood, reclaimed wood floors, exposed stone, a simple Shaker kitchen…a wonderful mix of primitive sensibilities with rustic finishes. I think this is what heaven looks like.

Set in a uniquely varied Otama Beach landscape in New Zealand, this house embraces ocean views, forested gullies and shadowed streams. Entered from the south via a winding path, the home reveals itself gradually. Arranged along the land’s natural fall, timber-framed spaces are designed to align with specific views and moments of use. Service areas sit discreetly along the southern spine. Inside, crafted timber and steel add warmth while charred cladding helps the home blend with the bush. Carefully placed apertures connect interior life with the surrounding landscape.

This 7 bedorom, 9 bathroom, 11,500 sq ft new build in Encino, California was given an absolutely stunning interior that is warm, timeless and full of lived-in character thanks to designer Christina Cole. I can barely get passed the kitchen – the Calacatta Cadia marble, the hammered brass wrapped island, the stunning white oak & glass uppers (those curves!) and of course a butler’s pantry. Much of the furniture is very curvy and plush which adds sooo much coziness. The warm, soft tones of all the walls and furnishings and wood accents are so soothing. It is a wonderful mix of elegance and comfort. Photos: Nils Timm.

Rosherville House is a thoughtful reworking by Kennedy Nolan of a solid 1980s brick and tile home set on a sandstone outcrop in Sydney’s north. The house’s size suited the client, so the focus was on reorganising the interior for better flow, privacy, and garden connection, improving energy performance, and reimagining the material palette. Embracing the home’s original character, subtle yet precise interventions transformed bland, fragmented interiors into a rich, cohesive environment of natural textures, improved zoning, and a strong connection between indoors and out.
