Scandinavian inspired style in pristine Tasmania
Over the Christmas break, we were lucky enough to spend a long weekend in Tasmania at Piermont Retreat near Swansea. Located on a private beach near the Freycinet National Park, Piermont Retreat is a beautiful quiet and low key place to stay - with a simply stunning restaurant! Recently designed by Hecker Guthrie, the interiors have a distinct Scandinavian feel with a cool colour palette of greys and pale timbers. I fell madly in love with this space and one morning escaped the family to spend a leisurely morning sipping coffee in the lounge area absorbing and dissecting all the design details for future interior inspiration.
Prior to this recent holiday I felt a bit stuck creatively . I had stopped taking photos and was feeling luck lustre around styling and photography. There is something to be said for getting out of your home environment and travelling to find a new spark of inspiration and joy - which is exactly what happened when we arrived in Tasmania. I wanted to capture it all and found myself delving back into the world of interior styling with renewed enthusiasm.
