LIKE MOST VICES, decorating with colour tends to start small with cushions, vases and glassware. But over time, that vivid pop begins to inform the rest of the scheme and with each bold new style choice and investment – think rugs, wallpaper, art and statement chairs – the room develops personality and visual oomph. In other words, the braver your choices, the more visually rewarding the results. The home of American artist Angela Chrusciaki Blehm is a spectacular example of how powerful a bold approach can be. It feels joyful and welcomes you to look around, and the more you look, the more each room unfolds. So if you’re ready to indulge and make colour the focal point of your living space, bedroom or hallway, read on for our tips…

SHOULD ELISE PIOCH INVITE YOU OVER FOR DINNER, you can be sure the tableware will be just as delicious as the food. “I can’t imagine a dinner party without taper candles and elegant holders,” Elise says. “To me they’re as important as the menu.” It’s this innate appreciation for aesthetics that has made Maison Balzac, the brand she founded in 2012, a resounding success and with the release of her new collection Un Rêve in August, it’s clear that Elise is letting her imagination bloom. “Maison Balzac has grown exponentially,” she says. “This has given us the confidence to push boundaries and unleash my creative fantasies.” The story behind Un Rêve stems from Elise’s response to this year’s tumultuous events. “I wanted to create a small world away from reality,…

LIKE THE PAGES OF HER PASSPORT, Françoise Dorget’s Parisian apartment bears the colourful marks of a life spent travelling around the world.

FRENCH GALLERIST AMÉLIE DU CHALARD was gifted her first piece of art at the of age of seven. It was a moment that inspired a life-long obsession with art and design, and led Amélie to open up her very own gallery in Paris, Amélie Maison d’Art, in 2017. If it weren’t for this space, she may never have discovered the former artist’s studio she now calls home. SERENDIPITY Shortly after turning the ground-level of a townhouse into a gallery, Amélie heard that a unit in the same building was available; a studio with large windows and soaring ceilings. But there was a catch – it hadn’t been updated since the 1940s and was in need of restoration. Seeing the potential behind the interior’s dated decor, Amélie employed architectural and design…

KITCHEN designer profile Principal designer and director of design studio Heartly, Mikayla Rose, specialises in creative, practical and beautiful interior concepts. Heartly.com.au | @heartlydesignstudio INTERIOR DESIGNER MIKAYLA ROSE was asked to turn a 1920s bungalow in Melbourne into an open-plan and light-filled space for an active family of six, and she certainly delivered.

Subtle curves have been repeated throughout the home to echo the design hallmarks of the 1920s and to balance contemporary squared-off lines. A mix of materials have been layered to create a luxurious look – without the high-end price tag. In the living room is an open fireplace, a curved marble…

FROM THE OUTSIDE, the Longhouse is a noticeably large industrial-looking shed on a very large parcel of pastoral land. Situated just a few minutes north of Daylesford in Victoria, the property enjoys sun-dappled views of Mt Franklin and the closest neighbours are of the native fauna variety. But you won’t find any rusty garden tools here – inside this 110m-long architecturally-designed greenhouse is a self-sufficient ecosystem comprised of a boutique farm, kitchen garden, events venue, guest living quarters and a home. This agrarian utopia is the shared dream of owners Trace Streeter and Ronnen Goren who envisioned a life together in the country and a project that would unite their passions for cooking, hospitality, gardening and agriculture. “We were watching episodes of River Cottage and thought, that’s the answer!” Ronnen…
