From minimalist modern Japan to the rather more eclectic domain of maverick Parisian interior designer Florence Baudoux, mauve sofas are being seen in all the best interiors.

Neither shrinking violet nor prima donna, big, solid moss green curtains are perfection in this Parisian bed chamber.
Wide stripe, open weave drapes give this Milan bedroom just the dressing down it deserves.
‘Coming back home makes me happy’. Words of design art maverick, aesthete extraordinaire and owner of this carefully composed London apartment David Gill.
Looking at this Milan home of the free-spirited Sicilian painter Nino Mustica, I started to understand just how to win the war on clutter… It may not be, as the organising pros suggest, a case of a place for everything (accompanied by exceptional levels of self-discipline) after all.

Pale blue used as the decorating gods intended… The work of the remarkable New York based stylists to the stars, husband and wife team Sixx Design.
Big parquetry, big pattern, big colour. But this idiosyncratic restoration of an art nouveau apartment fallen on hard times by architectural duo Than & Videgard Hansson is remarkable for much more than its controversial good looks. The architects may have shunned the international zeitgeist in favour of a localized, artisan-inspired bespoke, but the result is much more progressive poetic than provincial.

Melbourne lighting innovators Mance offers its Slim light in 153 colours. I like the idea of randomly bunching the tubes, a little like a floating game of pick-up-sticks. Or for a more elegant feel, simply hang vertically. I’d say the hardest thing about using Slim is choosing the colour.
Like the Arezzo villa I posted a liitle while back, this much design and art and regalia of family life packed into one apartment really shouldn’t work this well.

(Meire’s collection includes the work of ‘names’ like Damien Hirst amongst others). All up, more exquisitely curated proof that sometimes more really is more beautiful.
