I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SPRING. It makes me want to open the windows, clean the house from top to bottom and redecorate. Actually, who am I kidding, everything makes me want to redecorate. Seriously though, it is the perfect time of year to rearrange all your stuff and start afresh. To get you in the mood, we’ve created a fun cover story full of colour and florals (p13). There’s so much to love in our cover image, from the blue lamp by emerging Aussie designer Chi Dang to the amazing orange bed, custom-made for us by Snooze. As for the florals, incorporating them into your scheme is the perfect way to lift the pieces you already have. For plenty of bloomin’ brilliant buys, check out our shopping stories on this season’s…

A MENAGERIE OF EXOTIC ANIMALS in the kitchen. Clouds billowing across a petulant sky in the bathroom. And in the hallway, verdant vine leaves creeping up the walls. No, this isn’t a chapter from the next Harry Potter novel – we’ve just entered the world of Cole & Son. Responsible for producing some of the most globally recognised wallcoverings since 1875, the team at Cole & Son design patterns and pictures from the far corners of our minds and bring them to life on paper and fabric. The company’s archive, which contains about 2000 block print designs, 500 screen print designs and countless original drawings, is a time capsule of interior styles dating back to the 18th century, from full-on florals and dramatic damasks to hot air balloons floating in…

ON PAPER, HAYLEY BONHAM is not your average entrepreneur. For starters, she’s a young woman, she’s a stylist on the side and she founded a public relations agency at the age of 27. But she has a confidence and wisdom that belies her years. “I’ve always seen things differently, even as a child I’d think up concepts and ideas,” Hayley says of her ability to spot a gap in the market and turn it into something people want. It’s this talent, not to mention creativity, tenacity and vision, that saw Hayley launch the fragrance brand Maison D’Amour in 2011 with a friend. She describes it as a “passion project” that was conceived when they couldn’t find the perfect premium unisex scent. “Business came naturally to me; I love being around…

who lives here? Marie Montaud, founder and creative director of jewellery label Medecine Douce, her husband Gilles Ballard, the company’s general manager, their two children Gustave, 18, and Marguerite, 16, and Neko the cat. Bijouxmedecinedouce.com | @bijoux_medecine_douce PARIS, THE CITY OF LIGHT. Think of Paris, and you conjure up images of Haussmann-style buildings with white facades and rows of French windows, with park views, sprung wide open. So it’s hard to imagine that when Marie Montaud and her husband Gilles Ballard were looking for a bigger home for their family of four and came across this old factory, it didn’t have access to natural light. Not even a window. Located on the ground floor of an apartment block, their home took almost two years to rebuild. But they had the…

who lives here? Aaron Crothers, an art director and production designer, Jackline Sassine, a props stylist, their daughters Mali, 16, and Pascale, 13, plus two-year-old cavoodle, Bean. WALKING IN FROM THE BEACH “barefoot and flopping around in swimmers” is the kind of dream existence Aaron Crothers and Jackline Sassine envisaged for their beach-loving family, so when a house on a bigger block two doors down from their previous home in North Bondi came up for auction, they went for it. “It was a pretty spontaneous ‘let’s build another house that is more us’ decision,” Aaron says. LIFE REIMAGINED The classic Bondi cottage hadn’t been updated since the ’80s. It had pokey rooms and made no use of its northerly aspect, so the couple embarked on a massive 12-month rebuild to…

It’s a weekday-only deal and numbers are limited.

NEW YORK IS A CITY that demands more than one visit. Overflowing with contrasts, it offers five wildly different boroughs filled with small, quiet brownstone-laden streets, mirrored skyscrapers, artisan breweries and million-dollar shopping streets.

To make sure you don’t miss a thing on your next visit, here is our locals-approved list of the design stores, cafes, museums and hidden bars that are currently having a moment.

Use florals in the form of a print (and from a florist) to soften contemporary furniture. Here, the wallpaper’s florid petals and the vases’ abundant blooms counteract the bold, structured lines of the dining table and buffet, which might otherwise overtake the space The key to making floral prints look modern is to mix them with decor in solid colours. So, go ahead and layer clashing florals, but remember to break them up with statement pieces, like this headboard and lamp…

Ninamayainteriors.com | @ninamayainteriors THE VERY CONCEPT OF A FOREVER HOME insists that every detail should make your heart sing. But while the owners of this property in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs were enamoured with its incredible views and location, they were underwhelmed by the decor.

They enlisted the help of Nina Maya of Nina Maya Interiors, providing a brief that was shaped by a love of international travel, and that…

ROKSANDA ILINCIC KNOWS what women want. The London-based fashion designer makes the sort of clothes women wear to impress other women, and feel gorgeous while they’re at it. Her cocktail dresses are sculptural, sophisticated and come in a paintbox of bold colours; even her website describes her style as unmistakably woman-centred. So when Roksanda, who studied architecture and fashion, was commissioned to design the interior of this three-bedroom London apartment, her approach was always going to push the envelope on feminine style. Here’s what we can learn from her… APPLY COLOUR WITH CONFIDENCE The palettes of Roksanda’s collections typically range from Rothko-like reds and maroons to punchy pinks. She opted for the same traditionally feminine colours throughout this project, but the effect is elegant rather than sickly sweet. The trick…

THIS KITCHEN MAY BE TINY but what it lacks in size it makes up for in clever design and organisation. Additional shelves, back-of-door storage and carefully selected kitchenwares make it functional, while the light-reflecting materials and finishes give the illusion of extra space. It has concealed appliances – including a laundry – and can handle a three-course dinner for eight!
