Interior Innovation Design: Holiday House

House by the Sea

This stylish and homely Welsh beach cottage recently caught my eye. Owned and designed by Welsh-born interior architect, Caryl Terlezki, the house has a great nautical feel by using touches of the classic red, blue, white combination.

I have been looking at natural woven light shades with a client and it has been great looking at the available options. I found the photograph above from Home Beautiful as an inspiration image - it shows how beautifully the open rustic style of the woven pendants contrasts with the clean lines of the kitchen.

A New Zealand holiday home has made an appearance in the latest issue of US magazine, Dwell. Located at Onemana Beach, this compact prefab house was a collaborative effort between the clients, the builder and a group of architecture students. Read all about the unique process here.

Remodelista are having 'Australia by Design' week and they have been profiling some great interiors, including this holiday rental, Ellis House. Located at Kyneton, about an hour from Melbourne, this 1860's four bedroom home has been renovated in a moody palette with lots of texture and rich details. Looks great.

Spotted on yellowtrace last week and making the rounds in blog world is this amazing historical Swiss chalet. The 150-200 year old former farm house, still with original features, has recently undergone a refurbishment designed by Bergdorf and architect Nick Ruef.
Loving the use of muted neutrals, moody blues, greys and greens along with a pop of spearmint against the warm rich timber tones. Go here to see more.
