Contemporary/Classic Interior

I’ve had quite a break over Christmas and New Year but back now and kicking the year off with a project from one of my favourite designers… Mixing pattern, textures and materials are the key to Studio McGee’s designs, for example juxtaposing a leather sofa next to a linen sofa. A dark almost black buttoned […]

Contemporary Meets Traditional in a Fabulous Living Room

Another fabulous project from Studio Mcgee, contemporary meets traditional… What’s not to love about this space, a mix of contemporary pieces and traditional give it a modern look with a heritage nod. Textures are big with Studio McGee and if you look closely at the coffee table in image 5 you will see it has […]

Cape Cod Meets West Indies

Described as “Cape Cod meets West Indies”, another fabulous project by one of my favourite design companies. The exterior architecture of this new build leans towards Hamptons, however Black Band Design have also injected a tropical feel inspired by quote, the “vibrant waters of the Caribbean”. When planning a new build by oneself with no interior designer […]

Boho Chic

1. Image via Mercer Interior The word, ‘boho’ may conjure up a riotous mix of colours and patterns, muddle these together in a messy but creative way and throw in some greenery and you may have the boho of the past. However, today boho can be far more chic, in fact…..’boho chic’. ‘Boho’ stems from the word […]

Coastal Sophistication in South Carolina

“Casual and sophisticated, modern and timeless, serene but colourful” is how the designer describes this relaxed, South Carolina home. The designers, Guest House Studio, have used varying shades of blue for this project, with paint, soft furnishing and artwork. Blue is ‘cool’ on the colour charts but can evoke a moody or calming affect when you […]

Designer, Breeze Giannasio’s Take on a Honeymoon House

Breeze Giannasio is an interior designer to the stars and I literally have stars in my eyes when I see the transformations she makes to these Hollywood homes. I’ve been in love with the distinctive style of designer, Breeze Giannasio since I viewed a video of her transformation of Mila Kunis parents condo on Houzz. Breeze takes […]

Hamptons Style on the Sunshine Coast

Although we Kiwi’s claim the ‘pavlova’ as ours, looking at this gorgeous Sunshine Coast home, I believe that Hamptons style may have snuck into Aussie first.

Hamptons is here to stay as it is the most relaxed way of living I can think of. There are at least two people I follow on Instagram who live in Australia and both building and posting progress of their Hamptons style homes. I follow their posts with excitement as they add images of their new bathrooms, swimming pools and landscaping, it makes me envious that I am not able to move into the home I had built down Tauranga as the inside is typically Hamptons in design.

Hamptons is about white, lots of light and spacious living. It is about a home that makes you feel like you are on holiday 24/7. Light, neutral colours with pops of blue, green and yellows. It is a marriage of traditional style with the luxury of today’s living which is the exact description of this gorgeous Hamptons style home on the Sunshine Coast. Built by ‘Sunshine Coast Home Design‘, and nicknamed “The Somethings Gotta Give” home, for me it was love at first sight. From it’s shingled exterior and powder blue front door, who could not fall in love. It has a typical Hamptons entry way leading to open plan living with the perfect ocean view. It has basically everything a lover of Hamptons style could dream of.

I hope you have enjoyed this gorgeous home, if you would like to see more of Sunshine Coast Home Designs work, I have added a link above. If you want to see more Hamptons style home tours, click the link to my Interior Design Inspiration page where you will find plenty to inspire you.
