100 Beautiful ROOMS

Step inside this curated collection of spaces by distinguished designers, whose dreamy interiors are in a league of their own

- CHRIS PEARSON

Welcome to the third and final instalment of 100 Beautiful Rooms, a spectacular showcase of interior design, which marks the centenary of Home Beautiful.

Where will interior design be 100 years from now? Odds are, it will look very different, just as those interiors of 1925 bear little resemblance to what you see in the following pages. But then, the past permeates both the present and future in subtle and often surprising ways...

1 DREAM WEAVER

An 'alpine luxe' aesthetic informed the refurbishment of this 1970s home on the Mornington Peninsula by Kate Walker of KWD. The dining area features a custom table from Coastal Living, paired with ladder-back chairs from Big Chair and a 'Bident' pendant from Porcelain Bear. An artwork by Elena Zhao hangs above a woven bench from Barefoot Gypsy, while a Neil Williams work sits atop the console table.

2 OH SO VEIN

A feast of finishes is on the menu in the freshly renovated Sydney home of interior designer Lauren Mahoney, founder of Studio Trio. The kitchen teams Shaker-style joinery in Taubmans Dapple Grey with Intrim VJ wall panelling and vividly veined Arabescato Corchia marble benchtops from Architectural Stone Works. Brass spices up the palette, with Perrin & Rowe tapware in Satin Brass from The English Tapware Company, and 'Hull' pendants and 'Audley' sconces, all from The Urban Electric Company. Piccolo Chevron flooring in Raba Eterno from Tongue & Groove grounds the space.
