As promised, I’m so pleased to have Sian MacPherson, Editor-In-Chief of Est Magazine visiting us to answer my 5 Decorating Questions today.
Est Magazine has just recently turned two, and what an achievement that in such a short time, Sian and Lynda have turned this Australian digital magazine into an adored global go to resource for the latest in design, interiors and fashion. For me it’s a place to unwind and drink up the incredible interiors of the super stylish and creatives alike. Their latest issue doesn’t disappoint, it’s packed full of interior goodness, with one particular story that stood out for me; an old butter factory conversion that’s a real testament to its owners and their personal style. You really must check it out; it’s free to subscribe.
Over to you Sian…
How would you best describe your style?
In two words, pared back. I tend to favour linens, timber and stone…with not a whole lot of colour.
Do you have a particular designer that you admire most?
I really love the work of the girls at Wonder. Georgina and Pip bring such a fresh eye to the scene. I also am a big fan of Meacham Nockles McQualter, so under the radar publicity wise – but so very very clever in their understated aesthetic.
White walls or coloured?
Definitely white – coloured walls oppress me.

What is your favourite decorative piece that you own and why?
I love my moooi bookshelf – its a revolving piece of art work within itself with an ever changing display of book covers and art work from the boys – though the artwork rotation is starting to dry up now they are older.
Home….
is definitely where my family is. They are the one constant in my life – and as we move homes every year they are really the only thing that suits every floor plan!
So lovely to have you here Sian, thank you so much!
