Luxury and elegance. This is what London-based interior designer Fiona Barratt is all about. I would walk into these spaces and think "fancy schmancy" but they're not pretentious or blingy. It's put-your-feet-up-on-the-coffee-table luxury.
A sad little cookie cutter apartment has received a dramatic makeover by Brisbane interior designer James Dawson. His Marine Parade Apartment design features bold black and white wallpaper, polished brass custom designed door handles and a bespoke "hidden" kitchen island bench (sexy legs!). Have you noticed the trend of "non-kitchen" kitchens lately especially in small open plan areas? Perhaps not the best for family living but this bijou apartment is all about drama and theatre and definitely more striking bachelor pad than kid friendly hangout. Crack open the champagne darling. It's in the fridge somewhere behind those gorgeous black doors.
Here is another beauty by Johnston Parke Interiors. This one is a bit more modern than the last one but again this has such a warm colour scheme. You know, there is something to be said for choosing a neutral that isn't white. This home is so easy on the eye. And that kitchen is dreamy.
This home designed by Fiona Parke of Johnston Parke Interiors is an absolute gem. The colour palette is so earthy and warm and the blues (helloooo velvet chesterfield!) are just gorgeous. I don't even mind that the entire living room area is carpeted - I almost didn't notice and I ALWAYS notice right away (maybe because I'm imagining what a nightmare it would be in my house of 8 cats who consistently barf on any carpet but rarely hardwood). Beautifully photographed as well - always a bonus.
