New England Style

Imbuing a highly contemporary space with softness and warmth takes skill and creativity,  qualities innate to the interior design team at Flack Studio who have achieved an inviting balance of sleek modernism and colourful character in this stunning Toorak residence. Blending streamlined finishes and elevated materials with personalised accents, this new build exudes a warm, textural minimalism that is both modernist and classic.   Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   The brief was for a considered family home that would get better with age, fit harmoniously into its surrounds – a neighbourhood renowned for its architectural history – and maximise its aspect by creating a strong connection to the outdoors. Collaborating with architect Richard Blight of Blight, Blight and Blight, David Flack of Flack Studio took inspiration from the suburban landscape as well as the daily habits of the residents, a couple with three young adult children who enjoy cooking, reading and spending time together.   Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   Designed to support the family’s lifestyle, the home’s seamless flow and voluminous proportions were carefully considered, the team utilising a selection of materials including black steel, grey render and natural stone as well as timber joinery and aged brass fixtures that would continue to improve aesthetically over time. Colourwise, the objective was to offer a tonal palette throughout the building while harnessing bursts of colour in the powder room and library.    Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the centre of the home, a dark American oak staircase with an organic, fluid form creates a dramatic sculptural feature, introducing a natural warmth and texture to a cool white palette and travertine floor tiles. Tactile accents and vintage pieces add personalised touches, with a thoughtful curation of décor, art, furniture and lighting elevating each space with a sense of understated luxury that eliminates the need for fussy ornamentation and embellishments.    Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the powder room, floor-to-ceiling green marble tiles and a custom marble basin create a striking scheme, with sophisticated aged-brass fixtures carrying through from the kitchen and dressing room. In the library, the colourful spines of hundreds of books enliven the American oak shelves, while large windows are strategically positioned to maximise natural light and views of the garden.    Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the master bedroom, a striking leather bedhead is complemented by pure linen bedding in our softened and muted mulberry shade Moro, with pieces from our signature Flocca range including our Flocca Linen Duvet Cover and Flocca European Linen Pillowcases lending an earthy richness to this elegant space. Layered over pure linen sheets and pillows in our warm and sandy Sable hue, Moro adds just the right amount of sumptuous colour, with the exquisitely hand-tufted edges of our Flocca range offering a subtle, textural detail in fitting with the home’s commitment to quiet indulgence.   Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Moro, Flocca Linen Euro pillowcase in Moro, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Moro, Basix Linen Pillowcases in Sable and Basix Linen Fitted Sheet in Sable.   Explore our scrumptious collection of Moro and try pairing Sable/Brun Stripe pillowcases and accessories with Sable sheets, as well as a Crush Linen Blanket in Quill for added textural and tonal appeal.

There is something quintessentially Australian about the sparkling, azure waters of Sydney Harbour, luxuriously laidback and inviting no matter the season. The relaxed elegance of this iconic waterfront offers dreamy summer inspiration for our latest pure linen look, Harbour Views, a coastal-inspired bedscape that captures the essence of this stunning vista with a soothing, tonal palette.    Featuring: Flocca Linen Flat sheet in Fog, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Fog and Roy and Basix Stripe Linen Cushion in Nox/Ayrton. From our signature range of muted hues, Fog, a pale grey with a subtle blue undertone, harmoniously complements our coveted Roy colourway, a dusty, washed cornflower blue reminiscent of clear, bright skies and the welcoming inlets dotted around the harbour. The pale stone of Petra references white accents – private docks, lavish yachts and smooth Opera House sails – visible on the shoreline.      Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Roy, Flocca Linen Flat sheet in Fog, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Fog and Roy, Basix Linen Bedskirt and Flocca Linen Bedhead in Petra and Crush Linen Blanket in Alba.   The stunning Oak House residence by Alexander & CO is a timeless example of how creating a connection between indoor and outdoor living on the water’s edge can be beautifully achieved with light-filled spaces, natural materials and soothing tones – from moody blue armchairs to sandy-hued curtains – reflective of the home’s setting overlooking Sydney Harbour.    Oak House by Alexander & Co, Photography by Anson Smart.

There are few interior schemes more classic and adaptable than monochrome. Inherently elegant, this timeless look creates a calm and cohesive appearance that works in almost any home, from traditional to contemporary, with a tonal ombre effect that can be both moody and sophisticated or soothing and subtle.    Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Fog, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Ayrton, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Tempest and Flocca European Pilowcases in Roy.   While styling a monochrome scheme may seem simple, the use of similar hues across floors, walls, soft furnishings and decor can easily come across as stark, cold or otherwise inviting when the space is lacking in texture, natural materials, and thoughtful details that imbue warmth and elevate the look with hints of understated luxury.      The key to mastering monochrome lies in layering, starting with a base colour on the walls which can then be complemented by soft furnishings to enhance your palette. Layering textures can prevent the space from looking flat, while accent pieces such as lighting, mirrors, plaster features and unique furniture can also help to lift a neutral, monochrome scheme.     Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Petra, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Sable and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Petra and Sable.   In the stunning Armadale home of architect Rob Mills, elegant and uninterrupted spaces have been achieved by emphasising subtle colour changes and luxurious materials and finishes. In the bedroom, our Flocca Linen Duvet in Nox and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Nox and Sable lend tactile beauty and warmth, with delicately hand-tufted edges and a subtle melange softening a contemporary interior space.     Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Nox and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Sable in Nox.   A characteristic of monochrome interiors is a sense of simplicity, with natural materials – from cool marble to warm and textural linen – adding interest and balance without being overpowering. Carrying a similar colour palette throughout a room creates the perfect backdrop for standout pieces such as a unique side table or much-loved vase to be showcased, while pure linen bedding offers the perfect opportunity to build tonal layers that bring a sumptuous, lived-in quality to a modern monochrome look.

The Mediterranean has long had an influence on the world of design, and it’s easy to see why. Synonymous with the good life, the region evokes leisurely days filled with sun and sea, a place rich in history, culture and tradition, and with a glorious climate that lends itself to a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Rooted in centuries of life along one of the world’s most captivating coastlines, this look has classic appeal yet can be easily adapted in more contemporary ways. Via @ad_magazine,Santorini, Greece. Photography @niallkelly18  Homes in the Mediterranean are designed to complement their surroundings, with locally sourced stone and terracotta alongside woven baskets and handmade ceramics. A strong sense of craftsmanship pervades, and the overall sentiment is one of unhurriedness and embracing a slower pace. These homes are made to be lived in, with a focus on open, light-filled spaces, natural materials, and a connection to the outdoors. Thankfully, channelling the carefree feeling of a summer vacation at home doesn't require an Italian villa or a Balearic island getaway. Architectural features aside, the essence of Mediterranean design has some key characteristics that are easy to achieve and work in almost any location, starting with a fresh, light palette. White-washed walls, stone, timber and render coupled with soft curves and organic shapes create a blank canvas to layer raw, tactile materials – clay, linen, rattan and terracotta – that imbue a handmade quality and fuse modern with traditional.   Via @ad_magazine - Photographer @matthieusalvaing Finding a balance so that the look that doesn’t appear ‘themed’ means blending old with new, boho with minimalism. As the Mediterranean is such an eclectic mix of countries and cultures, an eclectic approach to design is key, allowing freedom to adapt this style to suit your interior scheme. There is a focus on pieces that combine functionality with beauty, making spaces highly liveable in a day-to-day environment while offering small moments of pleasure through pieces that elevate everyday routines.In the luxurious, light-filled bathroom of Byron Beach Abodes, the classic dense waffle design of our Flocca Linen Bath Towels add textural appeal and warm contrast to a smooth, white palette reminiscent of classic Mediterranean style. Our pure linen towels make an easy addition to a Mediterranean-inspired scheme, with their breathability, absorbency and fast-drying properties ideal for warmer climates. Our Basix Linen Curtains, alongside a rain shower and freestanding bathtub, further add to the feeling of stepping into a spa-like sanctuary.   The loft bedroom in The Cabin.

Originally used in heritage homes to protect walls from being damaged by furniture as well as add an extra layer of insulation, today wainscoting has taken on a more decorative purpose. Found everywhere from coastal cottages to minimalist apartments, this technique of using paneled boards to clad walls is making a modern comeback with refined interpretations and contemporary materials.    Example of traditional wainscoting enhanced design by @georgina_jeffries   Wainscoting involves a portion of an internal wall being clad with panels, adding a decorative element to a pared-back space or highlighting a home's traditional features. This versatile trend can be adapted to suit just about any design scheme, from country to beachy and everything in between, and has been very popular as a modern adaption of a headboard with the lower portion of the wall featuring statement-making paneling detail.    @Pago_middleton designed by @fabrikate_creative_spaces featuring Basix fitted sheet and pillowcases in Carmel and Flocca Linen Duvet in Kali.    Kasa Byron - Design & Decoration by @spacestudio__ @mimdesignstudio @kimberleywiedermann, Photography: @tfadtomferguson Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet, Flocca Linen Europeans and Flocca Linen Body Cushion in Armee.

An effortless blend of coastal, cottage and contemporary with mid-century accents, it’s no surprise that classic Californian style is an enduring favourite. Combining modern and traditional design with an undone elegance, this timeless look is characterised by rich texture, calming neutrals and natural materials, drawing inspiration from the culture, architecture and lifestyle of the West Coast to create a unique and adaptable aesthetic that exudes comfort, personality and heritage.   Many hallmarks of classic Californian style as we know it today arose from the Mission Revival Style of the late 19th century, which mimicked the Spanish missions built a century earlier. Harking back to simpler times, the white stucco walls, clay tile roofs, large, curved windows and sun-drenched patios became a significant inspiration for Californian architecture long after, with ornamental detailing largely eschewed for clean lines and solid, exposed rafters.     1936 Spanish Mission style Sydney home by architect Allan Edgecliff Stafford revamped by Studio Kate.    When the Art Deco movement began to flourish in the 1920s, decorative accents became more prevalent – rich, bold colour and lush texture – which were later tempered by the subtle restraint of mid-century modernist design and its emphasis on function. The result was a backdrop centred on organic shapes, natural materials and rich tactility that set the mood for unique yet timeless furnishings  – from eclectic vintage finds to handcrafted statement pieces – that tell a story.     Photography by Ricardo Labougle. via Architectural digest   A hybrid of several popular styles, classic Californian style is highly versatile and lends itself to contemporary, light-filled spaces as much as a bold, moody bungalow of blues and greens, as observed in this decadent yet lived-in Ojai residence.

Complete the look with Brun, Nox and Mare to create a sumptuous sleep haven at home, while benefiting from the softness, breathability and year-round comfort of pure linen bedding.    Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Carmel.   The traditional elements of classic Californian style reference a cottage look synonymous with tranquil beach houses dotted along the west coast, a wholesome, handcrafted approach that surged in popularity during the pandemic. More time spent at home saw a shift away from wild patterns and bold trends and a move towards comforting, classic interiors that evoke a sense of connection to people and place, with a high/low mix of antiques, mid-century statement pieces and modern luxuries achieving a worldly yet cosy feel.     Featuring: Flocca Linen body cushion and Flocca Linen pillowcases in Floss. This contemporary retreat by interior designer Vanessa Alexander exudes classic Californian style with a strong cottage influence, from the fresh white palette to the thoughtful blend of vintage and modern furnishings.

It is likely you've heard about friends, family or colleagues making a 'tree change' or 'sea change' in recent years, or perhaps you’ve even made one yourself. During the pandemic, Australia – and indeed the world – has seen a great shift from urban to rural living, with many people deserting city centres in favour of smaller country and coastal villages. This regional relocation is not only satisfying a desire for a simpler life, but it has also inspired a renewed approach to style and design centred around an appreciation for small everyday pleasures. A collective craving for a slower pace has brought about both a geographical and cultural shift, with those moving away from cities seeing themselves and their homes from a fresh perspective. Travelling from cosmopolitan capitals to the countryside or coast, these tree- and sea-changers are bringing with them their contemporary sensibilities and leaving behind the hurriedness of modern life, creating space to discover what feels meaningful and authentic.    The Burrows, Swansea Tasmania with views overlooking Great Oyster Bay. @the_burrows_swansea  | Featuring: Flocca Linen Body Cushion, Flocca Linen Cushions and Basix stripe cushion in Fog/Tempest.   Heightened regard for all things slow is seeing us increasingly wanting to surround ourselves with handmade, high-quality pieces – from interiors to fashion – that tell a story, are classic in their design and are made to last. Spending more time at home than ever before, it has become paramount that we create a space that satisfies an innate need for connection to each other, and to the natural world. Artisan skills are seeing a resurgence, with ceramics and basket weaving popular examples of how traditional handicrafts can bring both beauty and functionality to our living spaces.  While a rural reset in itself can be beneficial to our wellbeing, there is also a strong tendency toward nature-inspired design, where colours, shapes and materials are chosen – either intentionally or subconsciously – for their ability to evoke the same soothing and restorative effects of being in the outdoors. Our signature range of pure lining bedding in muted, earthy tones is the perfect way to bring nature’s palette into your home, from the mushroom-hued Cep and forest-green Silva to our grounding pinks and tranquil blues.
