rich colors + natural textures

richly layered design

This home strikes a perfect balance, incorporating rich and moody tones without veering into overly vibrant territory. Textured textiles, colored stone, accent walls, patterned wallpaper, and green cabinetry combine to create depth and character. The resulting photo set is a cohesive blend of warmth, personality, and the clean elegance of modern design.

Stairway spotlight

This staircase deserved a photoshoot all to itself. The clean lines of the handcrafted handrail and smooth balcony curves are beautifully complemented by the texture in the limewashed walls, where light dances across and highlights the subtle tonal variations. The sharp architectural lines contrast against the soft, organic elements of wood, leather, and curated styling notes. A striking window feature and statement hanging light installation add additional interest.

capturing detail

In contrast to the light and airy office upstairs, this space focuses on rich textures and intricate details. From the textured wallpaper and fluted feature doors to the warm wood trim, boucle chair, natural leaves, and reflective brass accents, it’s a feast for the senses. The interplay of shadow and light is captured, with the moody ambiance of the room opening onto the bright and sunny hall and staircase—a striking juxtaposition of dark versus light, and detail versus simplicity.

organic elements

Having the seasons on our side allows us to bring the outdoors in, incorporating natural elements through the views framed by the windows. These organic touches beautifully complement the soft textures of the bedroom and the dark, rich feature wall. A sculptural light installation adds another layer of interest, tying the natural and designed elements together seamlessly.

reflections and shadows

This image captures the interplay of light, shadows, and reflection. The trees cast delicate patterns on the minimalist window treatments, breaking up the solid white space, while the reflective surfaces of the stunning bathtub and shower tiles bring a touch of elegance.

This suburban split-level home's architectural renovation celebrates clean horizontal lines. Capturing the black exterior of the home against the soft landscaping in this season was an ideal opportunity, showcasing the stunning contrast between the rich, modern textures of painted brick, wide panel siding, and timber cladding. The result is a harmonious blend of contemporary design and natural surroundings.
