It's true, your dressing area isn't really on show – except, of course, to you – the warmth of oak carries through this upmarket walk in robe 

A bank of open-grain, dark-stained Ash timber cabinetry sits behind the island in this kitchen, containing the integrated fridge, cooktop and storage

A new pavilion extends this home's charms while paving, steps, and native plantings then lead down to the edge of an adjacent creek

Yup, crazy paving is back, albeit in a more sophisticated look – as this modern Bullen Sandstone Crazy Paving, from Eco Outdoor, attests

This living room includes an OscarNiemeyer chaise longue, a Siri stool by Claudia Moreira Salles, and a vintage Kurt Østervig lounge chair

A cantilevered glass-floored dinette, rooftop oasis and infinity pool are some of many lookout points in this sustainable home with craftsman style sensibilities

Blue tiles, brass highlights, a custom timber vanity and built-in storage combine to create a relaxing vibe for this master ensuite in a character home

Whether to optimise task lighting, facilitate breakfast enjoyment or to simply create a stand-out feature, here are some kitchen island lighting scenarios to inspire

This contemporary kitchen's dark cabinetry is balanced by the warmth of the bronze hardware and custom Qasair Sapphire bronze rangehood

Even when the weather is inclement, this rear terrace can close its roof louvres and remain a snug outdoor viewing spot

Designer: We chose emerald forest green tiles in a herringbone pattern to create a feature wall that achieves an intimate ambiance

Individuality is to be celebrated in life – for this bathroom vanity, a veined benchtop is matched with eye-catching corrugated cabinetry
