in search of real accessories for real hostesses? We can’t get enough of @aerin’s gorgeous sculptures, candleholders, pictured, and coasters made in everything from chagrin to gilt that will change the entire atmosphere of your rooms. Head to the blog to check The Most Popular Sydney Store Among The Style Set for must-know shopping all in one place. Yes...@palmerandpenn is buzzing. It sells high-end products and experiences. You can have a cup of tea from a Legle de Limoge teapot and teacup at its transporting courtyard cafe, then purchase a Nazareth candle by Cire Trudon, the candle maker to France’s greatest churches. (It sells the biggest range in the country). It was Louis XVI’s choice and is a big fave with @hermes, @cartier, and @dior. Or buy a @lalique vase, a set of @baccarat glasses or peruse the new knockout shipment of @ralphlaurenhome furniture collection that just landed. Tap link in bio to find out why the Double Bay hotspot is everything to do with relevance. The two storey bijou showroom designed by Australian powerhouse architect Michael Suttor is brimming with tweed sofas, black lacquer drinks trolleys, picnic baskets, French Louis chairs, and so much more - to help you pull your interior together in time for Christmas and the holidays.

Here’s another look at a new Axel Vervoordt house - a continuation of the Surrey estate we showed you yesterday. Proof pros take into account an overarching factor that eludes untrained eyes: a room’s visual connection to the adjacent space. A home should feel like a well written paper. Each paragraph can make its own point, but there has to be a central theme tying everything together. Head to the blog to see the 5 Design Techniques That Separate The Pros From The Amateurs at www.melissapenfold.com now. And why propelling the eye through a floor plan can be a Designer’s greatest challenge. Tap link in bio.

Amateur decorators struggle with the same variables that interior designers do: furniture, lighting, paint, floors and window treatments. It’s all about the flow or procession. When you enter a home, your eye should be led to another visual destination, because the activity between rooms is what creates a successful, comfortable design. Head over to the blog to find out the 5 Decorating Techniques That Separate The Pros From The Amateurs - at www.melissapenfold.com this week. Including the quickest way to unify your interior and forge a connection between rooms. It’s easier than you think. Image of Surrey country estate by Axel Vervoordt.

Yes, we love the stunning sun-baked seaside town of Portofino, surrounded by spots of unvarnished beauty, it’s simplicity like a time warp offering a kind of slow world worth savouring. This beauty inspires you months later and back at work to stare blankly into the distance and into your holiday memories. When we think of the Italian Riviera, we think of colour. We imagine earthy, warm pinks, pale terracottas and soft yellow pigments. Muted enough to be infinitely usable, beyond the Mediterranean coast. They flatter most buildings and environments.
