A very exciting month is ahead for all of us at Arent&Pyke. It starts right here with this month’s Real Living magazine!

We are often asked about the ‘Dos and Don’ts’ and find it hard to distill what we do into a number of answers. This month Real Living got it all out of us and we are ever so proud to have it down in black and white (and plenty of colour) to share with you all. We answer a LOT of questions, we share our loves and our ideas on art, shelving, rugs, flooring, paint, chairs, window treatments, bedrooms and bathrooms. ‘Secrets & Lies of Decorating’ is a substantial feature based largely on the tips and tricks, questions and answers of decorating.

Beautifully shot in the feature to exemplify all of our tips and tricks is the award winning Balmain House. It’s a whopping big feature and certainly worthy of a sit down with a very large cup of tea this weekend.

Thank you to Real Living and our wonderful clients for making this feature happen. We hope you enjoy the read! And while you are at it, have a question of your own?

Doing this feature with Real Living made us realise that we would love to share more with you about how we arrive at the finished product – the decisions we make, the concepts for our work and the process we undertake. We are very excited to announce a new feature post series that will give you a behind the scenes look at our completed projects (room by room, space by space). Stay tuned…

  2. I am a huge fan of Real Living magazine and just signed up for my 4th year subscription! This is a great post. I really want to invest in some outstanding art pieces I need to stop being such a tight ass and spend money where its needed!

  3. Great feature. Love that you dispelled common interior theories as well as giving advice, as this is rarely covered. So many designers could learn from your practice as you’ve made this house feel like a home.

  4. I can’t get past the colour coded books, that side nice article. Love the sandstone walls in the bathroom, very Freemantle
