Interior Beauty

I am really loving these stylish interior ideas, particularly with the classic grey, black and white colour scheme. 

Plate Wall

Ever since I first had dinner at 'Dish' in St.Kilda Road Melbourne, I have wanted to create a Plate wall in my Kitchen. It seems that I am not the only one who sees the beauty in plates. Angela Hardson and Lisa Congdon have both created a beautifully colourful example (courtesy of Design Sponge). Now that I have a house of my own I am no longer constrained by the rental rules. Finally I will be able to make my Plate wall dreams come true. When I do, I will be sure to post it :)

Sweel Paul

I found this lovely photographer and stylist through Bespoke Letterpress. Sweet Paul does a Christmas Countdown each year, showcasing some of the lovely interiors he has created. These are my favourites, Merry Christmas everyone!

Catherine Martin

I love everything that Catherine Martin designs. That woman can do no wrong. I really want a fantastic panel of this Black Cockatoo print in my house. Powerful and beautifully detailed.

Bernabei Freeman

Rina and Kelly have been working together since 2000. They have always been obsessed with decoration, the domestic interior and using materials in non-obvious ways. Being industrial designers the two are excited by the challenge of mass manufacture and the modern day factory.

This has translated into a range of modern lighting and furniture that combines "brutal technical precision and delicate sensuality rolled into one". Their work has received several national awards, and been exhibited both locally and internationally, most recently in Zona Tortona at the Milan Furniture Fair, and at the Milan Triennale.

Since the two formed bernabeifreeman, they have always aimed to deliver a high design product, of the best possible quality for the domestic and commercial market. Sustainability and product life cycle has always been part of their design process, right from the concept stage.

Rina and Kelly are always looking for opportunities to collaborate with manufacturers, play with new materials and expand their range both in Australia and abroad. They are inspired by the potential of new design.Check them out at http://www.bernabeifreeman.com.au

Bird Wallpaper

I can't quite remember where I found this wallpaper, but I do love it. Her are some more birds to take your fancy.

Barbara Hulanicki Wallpaper

Barbara Hulanicki started her career in fashion as a fashion illustrator. She covered all of the important fashion collections in Europe for the major publications of the day, including Women's Wear Daily, British Vogue, the Times, the Observer and the Sunday Times. Exasperated by the disastrous street fashion in England, her husband Fitz encouraged her to design her own clothing. Biba was born and eventually, expanded into a five story art deco building, flanked by rock stars and celebrities of the day. After Biba, she continued to work in Fashion, designing for Fiorucci and Cacharel as well as her own brand in Brazil. In the nineties she arrived in Miami Beach where she designed interiors for Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones and Chris Blackwells Boutique Hotel Group. She is credited with the resurrection of Miami Beachs crumbling Art Deco district. Her stunning wallpapers are available through Graham & Brown.

Aesop

Since being established by Dennis Pahitis twenty years ago, Aésop skin care has become an uncontested success story in the notoriously fickle beauty industry – focused on providing its worldwide clientele with the highest quality botanical skin care. Aésop now have 78 international stockists, plus 20 signature stores including stores in Paris, London, Sydney and their most recent Melbourne addition, Flinders Lane. The Flinders Lane store interior is made entirely of industrial-grade cardboard; from the display shelving, to the massive eastern façade, and even the counter tops.You'll also love Aesop's brand new Adelaide "bottle" boutique. This store's ceiling is crafted entirely out of recycled bottles, precisely arranged in a wave pattern, just amazing. Courtesy of The Cool Hunter.

Set 26 Letters

These are so cool. Set 26 has designed letters that double as storage devices, gotta love the Germans! If only the website was in english, but check it out anyway, in particular the section where you can create your own word.

Henry Road

Henry Road’s colorful retro global style is a tribute to sixties and seventies bold design with African and Asian influences. (Source Oh Joy!)

Bantie

Some of my favourite patterns and prints from Bantie, based in Stockholm, just gorgeous (thanks to Oh Joy!).

Pottery Barn

Someone get me to the US now please! Pottery Barn has everything I want to furnish my dream home! In fact, if you were to put all of these pieces together that's exactly what you would have. I wish we had something like this in Melbourne. While we do have your retail stores, these guys have 'collections' with some fabulous interior designs. If only they would ship to Australia (as they are quite well priced for hardwood). I shall just keep on dreaming :(

Walnut Wallpapers

Walnut Wallpaper (based in Los Angeles) has a fabulous range of designs, both vintage and contemporary, that will add a whole new light to room (or your entire house!). I particularly love the Art Nouveau and Japanese inspired patterns, yum! Here are a few of my favs... (as seen in Oh Joy!)
