SOPHIA KAPLAN

If you’re looking for flowers that offer something out of the ordinary, Kaplan could be your first port of call. Inspired by picking wildflowers around France, Germany, Italy and Australia, she is an artist who likes her bouquets to look as natural as possible. Working from a shared studio space in Alexandria, she textures each arrangement with unexpectedly shaped foliage. Nothing too stylise. Online only.

We think life is much better with nature. Even if

We think life is much better with nature. Even if you don’t have a Mediterranean beach house perched on a cliff with scenic views, there are lots of ways to create relaxed outdoor get-togethers. Work with the seasons. A lunch in the middle of a great outdoor setting doesn’t need much more than the grass and sky for decor. Keep it simple. Make it look good. Don’t show off. Forget formality. Atmosphere is more important than fancy food.

Great views can make us feel exhilarated. Who can

Great views can make us feel exhilarated. Who can pass a door or window without pausing and looking out? Who isn’t tempted to pay extra for a hotel room with an outlook? Meditative gazes beckoning us into landscapes; that peer onto pools where you can float like an angel, and private terraces that make your soul sing. However simple, the spaces that matter most are private gardens, terraces and open plan living rooms. All of these make us feel more connected. Even something as simple as a pergola slung between sky and ground, can be as important as indoor spaces.

You want to be near nature but strictly on your ow

You want to be near nature but strictly on your own terms. Innumerable properties have sweeping views but we like homes with sumptous coastal and courtyard outlooks that win for romance.

A tile lover’s dream destination: Portugal. The distinctive azulejos ceramic tiles are used to cover anything from facades to kitchen walls, floors, ceilings, around pools or on benches. They’re a background, enriching the life that is going on in the foreground. Design @baptistebohu via @ashleytstark #decor #design #decoration #blue #white #lemons

So you think you know Australia’s Southern Highl

So you think you know Australia’s Southern Highlands? The favourite district has picked up steam in the past few years and yielded a charming array of new offerings. Hotels such as daughter @isabellawalkersmith’s and my favourite @moss_manor, (pics 1 + 3); and world-class @airbnbs thet recall the glory days of great English estates
such as @jamessalmondfurniture’s new-build @benhuonmanor that’s just opened for business in Robertson, (Pics 6-10). As reported recently, it’s a great home base to explore some of the country’s best vintage furniture. Don’s miss @bunnybeckettvintage (Pic 2), or @tableandsill (Pic 4-5) located in the newish @coachhouse_collective where you’ll also find @blackmedullary @fieldandpotter @chapterandoak and @huntergatherercollections. Make sure your itinerary allows for a quick visit to @thebrontetram’s new shop next door - with a mind blowing collection of everything vintage you could possibly want.
