STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
In this month’s issue, immerse yourself in the decadence of glamorous design. From our beautifully curated homes around the world and alluring design showcases, to evocative lifestyle features encompassing a decadent experience at Tosca and a pampering escape to Amanoi, we reveal that modern luxury isn’t all about riches – it’s about attitude.
Each fabulous space we’ve showcased includes subtle luxurious details, from the considered interplay of traditional features with exaggerated scale and polished modern furnishings in a couple’s Edinburgh home (Pg 116), the breathtaking architecture and soothing, timeless interior design of a family’s getaway home in Sydney (Pg 104), to designer Anji Connell’s dreamy escape in South Africa (Pg 140) filled with rustic charm.
In Hong Kong, we are transported by the impactful aesthetic of two talented women. Aviva Duncan’s home (Pg 92) is a feast for the senses that embodies her penchant to take risks, with an expert eye to creating a ravishing colour palette that is perfectly layered and composed. As a trained chef, she is also able to create show-stopping plates of art, which we can attest taste even better than they look. Donna Shepherd’s spectacular threestorey house in Sai Kung (Pg 128), meanwhile, is a gorgeous assemblage of her family’s passions and lifestyle, brought vividly to life with her skilled sense of sourcing, spatial planning and honest passion.
At the end of the day, it’s uncovering these stunning abodes and telling the colourful stories of its inhabitants that make our role at Home Journal so fulfilling. Tell us what you want to see more of, and for more design and lifestyle inspiration, head over to our online portal, homejournal.hk.
