Hello hello! It’s Nicole here, also known as En Shell, back at it again contributing to the a Naber Design blog!
It’s officially summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, and as I am still in the midst of settling into and scheming the look of my new apartment, I can’t help but seek ideas from our friends in the Land Down Under. I’m talking Australian style, my friends!

Aussie interiors continue to be a point of inspiration time and time again. I’m always taking note of their use of bold shapes, soft curves, and organic materiality. Aussie style feels clean and simplistic while also feeling rich and textural. Most designs seem to come from a place considering nature and the outdoors and utilize materials like rattan, linens, and woven palm.

Bright whites and grounding neutrals mixed with warm earthy palettes give off the perfect balance of muted color. The use of repetition through graphic art and patterned tiles can’t help but cheer me up with one look.

Anything that looks and feels like an endless summer at the beach is always a win in my book! We’ve rounded up a few images and products from some favorite Australian designers and makers, as well as a few other pieces that help us achieve that quintessential modern cottage by the sea. Enjoy!
