FÊTE/LIFE / During the cooler months, it’s human

nature to yearn for a sanctuary. More often than not it’s

the simple, personal details that create a sense of

comfort and belonging in the home.

For some, living in the hustle and bustle of the inner

city means creating a home where that irst step through

the front door ofers a sense of calm and relaxation.

Layers of textures and the inclusion of subtle, personal

nuances bring a warmth that can't be replicated through

designer pieces alone. here is something charming

and inviting about a mix of high and low, old and new

and taking delight in the fact that each piece has been

included on its own merit... perhaps it brings functionality

to the home, or is admired for its pure form, or brings

sentimental value and character to a space.

Homes surrounded by the beauty of open space, often

rely on clever design to take advantage of the tranquillity

of the outdoors with very little need to over-complicate

the interior.

As we reect on what makes our homes and our lives

unique and special, it is evident that it is not always

the grand and expensive that achieve the best ambience.

Whilst we all strive to earn and subsequently spend

more on the ever-elusive wishlist, it is often those who

have had to be resourceful who create the homes that

we most admire.
