Beauty in a home comes in many forms; the use of decorating styles from minimalism to maximalism, the embrace of the outdoors to a more cosseting feel, a restrained colour palette to knock-out bright and bold hues. Beautifully resolved interiors, despite common assumptions, require thought, consideration and know-how over outright budget.
Here, we share 101 homes with you to enjoy this holiday season from Tahmoor to Toronto, Melbourne to Mumbai, the Central Coast to Kansas. Each of these spaces is the result of a professional listening to and understanding how the homeowners want to live, what is important to them and their aspirations before the next steps of designing, planning and renovating began. Make 2023 the year you decide to pursue your dreams too, whatever they may be.
And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work by clicking on a photo.
