Julia Fairley 9 September 2019
Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

Blue has become the ‘new neutral’ of interior design in recent years, and dark blue has earned a name for itself as the darling of decoration. See for yourself how this cooling colour can town down a room, from a kitchen to a bedroom on the floor, or wall, or amp it up with a dash of drama.

And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work by clicking on a photo.
