a cool change Colour trends are a bit like ex-boyfriends – as one comes to an end, we gravitate towards the polar opposite. After a long love affair with millennial pink, the seesaw is leaning towards dreamy blues and soft greens. They’re calming and easy to live with, so what better colour to paint a quarter feature wall with than cool mint (opposite)? Note how the darker green creates an extended skirting board that doesn’t line up with the panelling, making the room seem taller than it is. make this screen!

Warm shades like this burnt rose and peach work with whites and timber, a good choice if you have lots of…

who lives here? Lisa Barnett, her husband Neil, their sons Will, 18, and Sam, 15, and Maisy the staffordshire bull terrier. WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE IN FATE, the story of how Lisa Barnett came to buy her Sydney home on the Northern Beaches seems predetermined. “I grew up only a street away from the house. In fact, my parents’ friends owned it for many years,” Lisa says. As a young girl, she’d admired the property’s architecture and front garden, so when it came up for sale four years ago, she had to see it. Having lived in London for 20 years, Lisa couldn’t resist the distant views of the Central Coast, not to mention the visits by previous owners who spoke of happy memories made there. “That’s why the…

tile treatment Patterned tiles are a fun way to add personality and impact to a bathroom. For something less permanent, choose a decorative shower curtain or towels. DECO RETREAT THE LAYOUT It doesn’t take much for a small space to pack a punch. Take this dazzling Art Deco-inspired bathroom – a pitched roof and skylight provide the perfect nook for the generously sized bath, while a basin on a slender metal stand makes the space look and feel larger. FINISHES The combination of colour and pattern works cohesively yet independently in this space. Eye-catching emerald green tiles in rhomboid scales are balanced out with a frosted glass door in a similar tone, more subtle marble tiles and antique brass tapware. Curved shapes in the bath and mirror help to soften…

try this paint palette! You’ll need: Broom; pressure hose; drop sheets; plastic sheets; painter’s tape; exterior paint; paintbrushes, paint roller and pole or spray gun; ladder. All about the timing Before you make a start, it’s important to research the weather in your area. Paint won’t adhere to moist surfaces, so be sure to select a dry time of year when there is little chance of rain and low humidity. Preparation is key When it comes to DIY projects, a little prep goes a long way to creating a far better outcome. Paint doesn’t adhere very well to dirty or rough surfaces, so use a broom to get rid of cobwebs and leaves around gutters and windowsills, then wash all surfaces with a pressure hose. Repair any damaged areas, scrape…

How do you hue? Decorating with colour doesn’t have to mean slathering it all over the walls – layering furniture and accessories is a more noncommittal way of doing it. See more of this home on p68. I’LL BE HONEST, my home is quite neutral. Walls, kitchen, bathrooms – they’re all white. The flooring consists of tiles, timber and carpet in shades of grey. And my furnishings, well… apart from art and the occasional cushion, let’s just say I prefer a pared-back palette there, too. But all that is about to change. Sort of. I’m getting a new sofa and I’m 99 per cent committed to the idea of navy blue. Sure, it’s not in-your-face colour, but it’s a start, right? What’s your relationship with colour? Do you use it…

Perfect match Like-minded pastel shades of peach, turquoise or lemon, or opulent shades of plum and claret. orchid pink Likes Muted interior schemes that I can zhoosh up with accents like cushions and painted-timber pieces.

Dislikes People saying I’m a girl colour. Perfect match The richest shades of rust, caramel and burgundy. warm taupe Likes Being teamed with pale metals. I also work well with bright colours.

THE SAYING OPPOSITES ATTRACT certainly rings true for Belgian creative couple Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen. Fien is a photographer from a family of antique collectors. Hannes, a sculptor, comes from a prestigious line of painters and designers. She has a knack for making odd elements feel harmonious; he turns the familiar into the absurd. Together, they are Muller Van Severen, a furniture collection of multi-use bookcases, chairs, tables and lamps that tread the line between functional design and art. Made from industrial materials in shades inspired by colour-coded chopping boards, the furniture began as an experiment, but has cemented their place in both the design and art worlds. Hannes admits there’s a hint of wit about their minimalist collections. “I like giving everyday objects a little twist so…

HAVE YOU EVER WALKED INTO YOUR local Priceline and thought, “Wow, this has the potential to be my dream house”? Didn’t think so. But that’s exactly what architects Mar Vicens Fuster and Ask Anker Aistrup did when they turned an old pharmacy into a minimalist’s mecca. A PLACE TO RETREAT Located in the heart of Kreuzberg, Berlin, a district renowned for its vibrancy, night life and achingly cool factor, the 180-square-metre space lived its former life as a pharmaceutical supermarket. But where others would just see harsh fluoro lights and ageing lino, the creative couple behind the studio Mar Plus Ask saw potential in the impressive four metre-high ceilings, the central location and the private garden. With the intention of creating a calming space in what can be described as an…

MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA who lives here? Lawyers Gillian and Joel, with their son Caleb, 20 months. the interior architect Georgia Ezra is the director of Melbourne interior design practice GABBE and artisan tiles purveyors Tiles of Ezra. Georgiaezra.com; @georgiaezra IT WAS AN INSTANT ATTRACTION when Gillian and Joel first saw their home on auction day. “My husband had only seen two of the rooms when we agreed to buy it!” Gillian says. Wooed by the location and Edwardian features of the 1920s home, the couple knew they had to have it. “While it clearly needed some love, the fairytale front, stained-glass windows, skylights and large interior spaces were impossible not to fall in love with,” Gillian explains. “We knew we could grow a very happy family here.” Settling on the house…

THE ALCHEMY OF THINGS BY KAREN McCARTNEY There are books about interiors, and then there’s The Alchemy Of Things, a visual jaunt inside the creative minds of homeowners who take decorating to a deeply personal place. Via a series of stunning photographs, author Karen McCartney invites you into 18 homes across Australia and Europe, many of which have never been published before. No two are alike – one chapter explores a cottage on Tasmania’s Bruny Island, another looks inside an apartment with views of the Eiffel Tower – but what they have in common is their alchemy. For some, this is the intuitive arrangement of furniture and art; in others, it’s the profound emotion. Some are filled with pieces acquired over a lifetime; others are an evolving culmination of ideas…

MODERN HISTORY THE EXTREMELY RARE “TABLE IKB” - RELEASED FOLLOWING CREATOR YVES KLEIN’S DEATH IN 1962 - IS FILLED WITH RICH BLUE PIGMENT THE WORLD HAS LONG BEEN BEGUILED BY the colour blue, or more specifically, ultramarine. A bright, brilliant hue, ultramarine is the sort of blue all others wish they had been. The pigment was once considered more precious than gold and legend has it Michelangelo left an artwork unfinished because he couldn’t afford to buy enough. Centuries later, a young French artist named Yves Klein patented his own version of ultramarine and called it International Klein Blue (IKB). The thing is, IKB isn’t a colour per se because colour can’t be owned – it’s a paint-making process. With the help of Edouard Adam, a paint supplier, Yves developed…

start with a hero piece It took travel photographer Kara Rosenlund a year to transform what began as an empty concrete shell into the warm and inviting creative space you see before you today. Following the same rules that she uses when decorating at home, Kara first chose her hero pieces – one show-stopping item for each room that catches the eye as soon as you enter – followed by the “secondary” items in complementary tones and textures. In this room, the hero is the vintage chair salvaged from an op-shop. “This piece has been in my life for a long time,” she says. “I had been eyeing off expensive chairs with woven elements, then I remembered I had this chair! I stained it, had it upholstered and asked a…

who lives here? Cathrine de Lichtenberg, consultant and entrepreneur, her husband Anders and their dog Pedersen. @cathdelichtenberg NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PERSUASION. While homeowner Cathrine de Lichtenberg was instantly sold on this somewhat tired old villa in the heart of Frederiksberg, Denmark, her husband Anders took some convincing. But armed with plans for a complete layout overhaul and some modern updates, she quickly made her case for what would become the contemporary home of their dreams, and the couple bought the property in 2017. OLD MEETS NEW A massive conversion saw the kitchen become the bathroom, and living areas morph into the kitchen and bedroom. Original features, such as built-in corner cabinets, parquet flooring and marble windowsills all serve as a reminder of the home’s stately past, whereas new windows,…

try this colour combo! Line the insides of bookshelves or cabinets with coloured contact or wallpaper. This is particularly handy if you’re renting, or if you just really like neutral walls.
