Bravo! Embrace bold bathrooms I say especially if they are full of colour and exquisite handmade tiles. Ivanhoe Harem by Melbourne-based Studio Ezra.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. Bijou/ Bobo Plage by Monaco-based A.R.Rivani Architecture.

This stunning Houston home on Buffalo Bayou was designed by Jan Showers for her daughter. A sophisticated mix of pretty colours, shiny glass, graphic patterns and pale walls. I am smitten with all the yellow in the dining room. (Photos: Eric Piasecki + Tria Giovan)
