ephyr and Stone is an interior design studio run by sister duo Kasia Clarke and Ania Forster. Based on the Gold Coast, Kasia and Ania divide their time between styling and design. Kasia gives us some insights into her style and flags some trends for us to look out for. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE? “My style takes its cues from the pared back Nordic aesthetic, minimalism and the relaxed feel of coastal luxe. I love neutrals, monochrome and muted pastels. I always try to incorporate natural materials in my design and then add layers of texture. I go for quality over quantity and invest in well-designed pieces that will last decades rather than months or years.”
GO-TO SHOPS FOR INTERIOR AND FASHION FOR YOUR KIDS? “Country Road and Seed are my regular go-to stores though I love to support small local businesses as much as I can. Many of the items in my home are handmade in Australia. I particularly like to support talented Australian mums who are offering something a little different or something lovingly crafted.”

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION? ”I often find inspiration while scrolling through Instagram and love to follow accounts run by other creative mums. If I’m looking for something specific I head over to Pinterest. I often create Pinterest boards when designing a room.” WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU’RE NOSTALGIC ABOUT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME BACK IN FASHION? “Having renovated an Art Deco house in my 20’s, I now have place in my heart (and my home) for a touch of Deco. Fortunately, Art Deco never really goes out of fashion and I believe geometric patterns are set to have their moment in the spotlight.” MINTYMAGAZINE.COM.AU 31
