New England Style

Located in the northern Californian town of Tiburon, this stunning, four-bedroom residence was passed down through generations before being reimagined by Lauren Nelson Design as a modern family home, with rich tones and soft, tactile furnishings lending understated luxury and classic, hardwearing finishes carefully chosen to stand the test of time.  Interior: @lauren_nelson_design I Published: @vogueliving I Photography: @sethsmoot I Styling: @kendrasmoot I Featured: Flocca Linen Duvet in Tempest, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Tempest While the once impractical layout has been opened up to allow for better functionality and flow, an artful pairing of warm, caramel hues and soft, creamy textures imbues a contemporary sensibility to the interior, which the designer wanted to feel both airy and intimate. This stylish yet highly liveable home is now a serene haven for a mum and her two young sons, following a thoughtful and comfortable upgrade that will accommodate the family’s growing needs.  Interior: @lauren_nelson_design I Published: @vogueliving I Photography: @sethsmoot I Styling: @kendrasmoot I Featured: Flocca Linen Duvet in Tempest, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Tempest Lauren brought in sumptuous materials and vintage furniture to soften each space, with our pure linen bedding in our cool, mid-toned charcoal hue Tempest providing the perfect complement to a soothing, tonal palette in the master bedroom. Textural layers, from the walls and curtains through to the timber flooring and plush rug, come together to offer a cosy retreat, with our Flocca duvet cover and pillows adding a soft, handcrafted touch.  Interior: @lauren_nelson_design I Published: @vogueliving I Photography: @sethsmoot I Styling: @kendrasmoot I Featured: Flocca Linen Bath Towel in Tempest A generous bathroom is elevated with our coveted Flocca hand and bath towels in light, sandy Sable and Tempest to create the feeling of a luxurious spa sanctuary, juxtaposing rich, tactile accents against smooth, natural stone surfaces. The durability and highly absorbent qualities of our bath linen collection make it the ideal fit for the project’s form-meets-function aesthetic, bringing enduring style and practicality to everyday bathing rituals.  Interior: @lauren_nelson_design I Published: @vogueliving I Photography: @sethsmoot I Styling: @kendrasmoot I Featured: Flocca Linen Bath Towel in Sable

Drawing inspiration from chic resorts and faraway destinations, this luxuriously laidback home conjures the feeling of a year-round vacation with its colourful, free-spirited mood. Designed by Yasmine Ghoniem, director of YSG Studio, the seaside sanctuary has been cleverly reimagined with an inviting combination of playfulness and sophistication so that those who walk in are instantly transported to a neverending summer.    LA PALMA 2022​​​​​​​​ @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoe Overlooking Pittwater on Sydney’s northern beaches, and with a sweeping vista that extends to the Central Coast, the home’s sunny interior would be right at home in Mexico or the Mediterranean. A warm, layered palette effortlessly melds everything from earthy pinks and burnt orange to vibrant reds and zesty citrus, while a mix of patterns including striped black and white awnings and checked bathroom tiles add eye-catching yet timeless accents.     LA PALMA 2022​​​​​​​​ @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoe Texture was a key focus for YSG Studio when designing this beachside home, with French washes adding depth to walls and ceilings, and tumbled marble cobblestone enriching the outdoor spaces. Tactile elements have also been introduced through furnishings, including natural touches of rattan, terracotta and timber, while the sumptuous, texture-rich quality and signature earthy hues of our pure linen bedding proved the perfect fit for this eclectic interior design scheme.    LA PALMA 2022​​​​​​​​ @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoe In the main bedroom, a tonal scheme of pinks, reds and berry hues is layered harmoniously for a cohesive and inviting sleep space. Achieve this look with the earthy elegance of Rosa, our dense clay pink hue, and the softened, muted mulberry of Moro, introducing accessories in Porto for ​soft tangerine accents that evoke the warm glow of summer. The gently tufted edges of our Flocca range lend a handcrafted touch in keeping with this thoughtful space.    LA PALMA 2022​​​​​​​​ @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoe : Featuring, Flocca Linen Duvet in Rosa. In the second bedroom, our Flocca Linen Duvet Cover and Basix Linen Bed Skirt in Bere provide a grounding base for exotic, nature-inspired palm motifs and playful stripe patterns, as well as balancing out the custom-made bedhead and statement cushions. This rich, chocolate hue imbues sumptuous warmth and is the perfect complement to a fresh, white palette on walls, floors and bed linen.    LA PALMA 2022​​​​​​​​ @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoe : Featuring Flocca Linen Duvet and Basix Linen Bedskirt in Bere.

Nowadays, you can walk into any chemist, supermarket or department store and purchase a bottle of perfume. There is such a huge range on offer so what is it that sets one perfume company apart from the other? At Hale, we believe that it has a lot to do with the integrity and ethos of a brand and when we came across perfume company Le Labo, we knew they were the real deal. Le Labo perfumery first opened in the Nolita neighbourhood of Manhattan in the USA back in 2006. Since opening, they have obtained a cult following and in March 2017, they launched their Melbourne store located in the trendy suburb of Fitzroy. Lucky us!     Le Labo believe that the world should be filled with soulful fragrances and not just more bottles of perfume, and that the future of perfumery lies within the craftsmanship of each individual fragrance. Each scent becomes identifiable as a Le Labo creation, when you pass a person in the street, or share a lift with someone that is wearing Le Labo, you know without doubt where they've purchased their perfume from.     When purchasing direct from the Le Labo store, you will not only receive a beautiful bottle of perfume or candle, you get the whole integrated experience. You select your scent which is then blended in front of you and you can have a customisable label attached to each bottle or candle making the whole experience one of a kind and the perfect gift for someone special or just to spoil yourself.     The Le Labo range has over 100 vegan fragrances and are especially renowned for their unisex fragrances, candles and perfumed oils. Their Melbourne store is located at 183 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy and they recently opened their Sydney flagship store at 68 Gould Street, Bondi Beach. Both stores stock the full Le Labo range.
