Greg Natale has been honoured with the Hall of Fame award at the 15th annual Interior Design Awards, hosted by Belle Magazine and Fanuli. A finalist across three categories, including Best Residential Interior, Greg was presented with the prestigious Hall of Fame in recognition of his twenty-four years in business. This honour stands as a testament to his enduring influence, craftsmanship, and contribution to Australian design.

This accolade follows his recent success at House & Garden’s annual Top 50 Rooms ceremony, where he was awarded for his standout New York project. Celebrated internationally for its nuanced palette and innovative application of texture, New York House exemplifies Greg’s signature blend of sophistication and warmth. Layered with richly veined stone, sculptural furnishings, and a masterful interplay of light and shadow, the residence reflects a distinctly cosmopolitan sensibility while remaining deeply personal to the client. It stands as a defining example of how Greg’s design philosophy translates seamlessly across global contexts, reinforcing his reputation as a leader in contemporary interior design.

New York House also graced the cover of the most recent issue of Belle Magazine, where readers can explore all ten award categories and their winners.

Greg Natale has officially launched Terreno, a new mixed-material décor collection that distills organic materiality into a refined, architectural language. Known for his intuitive approach to geometry and deep appreciation for materiality, Greg’s practice sits at the intersection of design and architecture. Terreno is no exception. Meaning terrain in Italian, the collection draws inspiration from the relationship between architecture and earth. Each piece channels natural materials and textures through sculpted lines and stepped forms.

Influenced by the work of Carlo Scarpa and Fernando Higueras, Terreno embraces an architectural philosophy rooted in harmony with the natural world. Echoes of Scarpa’s Brion Tomb and Higueras’ biophilic sensibilities pair with tactile materials like marble and glazed ceramic. Moving between structural precision and organic expression, the collection feels both sculptural and elemental; an expression of the raw poetry of stone, wood, and clay.

Spanning vases, bowls, boxes, trays, and frames, Terreno is an expansive and versatile décor collection for the contemporary home. You can now discover the collection online via our website, or in person at our Potts Point Flagship store.

To learn more about Terreno, hear Greg discuss the collection on our YouTube channel.

Greg Natale’s widely celebrated New York House has secured three finalist spots in the Belle Fanuli Interior Design Awards 2025! As seen in the November issue of Belle, the nominations include Best Bathroom, Best Work with Colour, and the coveted Best Residential Interior. The Belle Fanuli IDA is an annual showcase of the ideas, materials and moods shaping Australian interiors today. We are incredibly proud of this honour and continually humbled by the international recognition this project continues to receive. It’s a privilege to be acknowledged alongside so many talented local designers whose work resonates across the globe.

Located on the Upper East Side, New York House is as evocatively colourful and richly layered as the city itself. Adopting a fashion-forward approach to interior design, Greg drew inspiration from the owners’ deep connection to Italy and Paris. Sophisticated colours and bold materiality define the home’s distinctive aesthetic, while artful finishes complete each space with finesse. The home embodies an innovative creative ethos upheld by its owners — one where art and design coexist in equal measure.

Congratulations to all the finalists, and a huge thank you to Belle and Fanuli for their continued dedication to uplifting Australian design.

After nearly two decades of collaboration, Greg Natale and Designer Rugs unveil their seventh collection together. Cruda, meaning “raw” in Italian, embodies a duality of structure and softness. At once refined and organic, the collection draws inspiration from the asymmetry of Brutalism and the geometry of Italian Rationalism. Featuring six original designs in flattering neutrals, Cruda offers a unique interpretation of these modern influences.

The direction for the Cruda collection was sparked by a custom rug design that utilised high-low pile techniques. The depth and emotion lent by subtle surface variation evoked the Brutalist philosphy of decorating through texture rather than ornamentation. From distressed surfaces to the jagged planes of monumental architecture, Cruda celebrates beauty in irregularity and imperfection.

Through the soft language of hand-knotted wool, stark, uncompromising design finds new life in texture and tactility, revealing an unexpected warmth within its raw forms. Spanning bold composisitons defined by geometric abstraction to amorphous forms in mineral tones, Cruda channels the gravitas of concrete and stone into hand-crafted rugs. Varied loop techniques and shifts in pile height lend a sculptural quality to each rug. Each subtle transition creates a layered effect that evokes the the graphic language of industrial textures.

We invite you to explore the collection via our website. You can also revist past collaborations between Greg and Designer Rugs, spanning hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs as well as carpet designs.

Greg Natale’s gelato-coloured dining room from New York House won Best Use of Colour at the 2025 House & Garden Top 50 Rooms Awards! Designed for long-time clients, the room layers pastel tones into a space that is both playful and sophisticated.

Aficionados of design, the owners of New York House run an art school in Florence, Italy, and converted the lower level of their Manhattan townhouse into an art gallery. For their dining room, they envisioned a predominately pink-and-green palette, drawing inspiration from the maximalist interiors of Parisian bistros. Mint greens, blush pinks, and lemon yellows unfold throughout the space, creating a nuanced scheme that feels fresh and immersive. At its centre, a vintage Murano glass chandelier glows above the swirling, multi-coloured dining table, anchoring the composition with artistry and flair.

Soft mauves surface in festoon Roman blinds, a tonal artwork by Indivi Sutton, and chairs upholstered in our Cemento fabric. Our Ada timber flooring from the Bosco collection waves across the floor. Detailed mouldings and signature Greg Natale flourishes further enrich the space, underscoring the studio’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of colour in contemporary interiors.

“This project is a testament to the transformative power of colour,” says Greg Natale. “I wanted to create a dining room that was joyful and elegant. Colour draws people in, and it’s what encourages them to gather and linger.”

To be awarded Best Use of Colour 2025 is a true honour. We are grateful to Australian House & Garden and Winnings for recognising our hard work and dedication to exceptional design.

For the 2025 NoVacancy Hotel + Accommodation Expo, Greg Natale collaborated with Global GreenTag International in desining a room installation. This collaboration, titled the Conscious Luxe Suite, showcases the process of using environmentally responsible products to deliver luxury and wellbeing. The concept demonstrates how thoughtful material choices can deliver both sophistication and wellbeing, setting a new benchmark for eco-conscious design.

Exclusively composed of Global GreenTag International–certified products, the suite embodies environmental responsibility at every detail. Each element has been independently verified for health, sustainability, and circularity, ensuring the suite exemplifies both beauty and integrity. Certifications cover low toxicity and controlled VOC levels, renewable and bio-based content, as well as recyclability, upcycling, and product take-back schemes.

Measuring six by six metres, the suite features soft wall panelling, plush carpeting, and a custom in-house–designed bedhead by Greg Natale. Accessories and bedding from Greg’s line complete the room, bringing his signature aesthetic into dialogue with cutting-edge sustainable design.

The unveiling will take place on September 17 at the NoVacancy Expo, where Greg will introduce the Conscious Luxe Suite. Following the reveal, he will join Global GreenTag’s Tyann Scott from 10:40–11:00am for a conversation on the future of sustainable design in a more conscious world.

Art Director and long-time friend to Greg Natale, Anna Viniero’s split-level Sydney apartment in the heart of Surry Hills is a glittering ode to the 1970s and ’80s. An artist and DeeJay in her personal life, Anna inhabits her artistry in-full. As an extension of her creative sensbilitiy, the glamorous interiors of her apartment are alive character, cultivated over two decades of collecting and curating.

After purchasing the space in 2006, Anna began by updating the interiors with a concrete epoxy-resin floor. She then turned to Greg for expert guidance on the kitchen redesign. To achieve a streamlined look, he integrated all joinery and completed the space with a mirrored splashback. While she loves the original changes, more than a decade later Anna was ready for a refresh. Collaborating once again with Greg, the pair elevated the interiors with flush mirrored walls, vertical blinds, and seamless joinery. Reggiani track lighting was introduced to punctuate the space, complete with a notch designed to suspend a disco ball. To anchor living areas, Anna designed custom two-toned rugs, striped to echo the rhythm of the blinds.

Upstairs, plush burgundy carpeting provides warmth underfoot in the primary bedroom, complete with a statement arched bedhead from the 1980s in a butter-yellow lacquer. The bathroom was also part of the renovation. Here, bespoke orange, white, and black terrazzo meets crisp white tiles with black grout for a grid-like, graphic finish. Enviable pieces from her collection of vintage décor mingle with designs by Greg Natale, many of which, like the graphic Steps bedding, bear Anna’s finess as Art Director. While she loves it all, it is the living room that remains her favourite space. Come nightfall, her alter ego DJ Sophia Moroder sets the soundtrack for a Studio 54–inspired setting.

In celebration of its nomination in the Residential Design category at the 2025 Australian Interior Design Awards, the Sydney Morning Herald takes a closer look at Greg Natale’s Bellevue Hill House. The home’s second iteration, created for its current owner Eleni Taylor, has been the subject of much international discourse. The piece hones in on a new design, encased within the same architectural bones as Greg’s Hollywood Regency–era vision from over a decade ago.

In conversation with Eleni Taylor, SMH explores how her vision shaped Greg’s creative process. “I thought, who better to go back to than the person who did the house before?” Eleni says. Looking at the final result, it’s clear her instincts were right. Inspired by her Greek heritage, Eleni was drawn to the forms and textures of Cycladic architecture. She first glimpsed the promise of what was to come in the home’s archways, tall ceilings, and sweeping exterior curves. Together, she and Greg chose to move away from the high-contrast palette and metallic accents of the past.

After fine-tuning the layout and introducing soft, textured curves, Eleni turned her attention to stone—and lots of it. Twenty individual slabs from renowned Italian quarries arrived on Australian shores, including Breccia Capraia from the ancient Fantiscritti quarry in Tuscany, where Michelangelo sourced marble for his David. As Eleni leaned further into her design vision, the home began to come alive.

It wasn’t just Eleni who felt creatively transformed by the process. Greg Natale told the Sydney Morning Herald that the project allowed him to reinvent himself as a designer. “This house has shown that I’ve grown and can do other things,” he reflected, noting the home’s extraordinary reception.

For its August 2025 Issue, Home Design Magazine puts Mosman House II front and centre. This winter-focused edition, dedicated to the pursuit of beautiful yet functional “forever” homes, explores how designers create spaces that are warm and atmospheric, yet timeless. Thanks to Greg Natale, Mosman House II exemplifies this balance. Known for his expert application of colour and pattern, Greg softens this home’s brutalist architecture, imbuing this family home with a sense of contemporary elegance.

Echoing the enduring appeal of Chanel’s brand aesthetic, the home is grounded in a palette of black and white. But colour soon makes its entrance, most notably in the duck-egg blue library, designed to evoke the inside of a Tiffany & Co. box. This bespoke moment speaks directly to the owners, whose professional backgrounds lie in the world of luxury.

As you move through the home, shades of blue and green continue to bloom. A floating staircase beneath a glass ceiling opens up to the tree-mottled sky, leading down to the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas. Ultra-modern and undeniably glamorous, these spaces are sophisticated yet inviting. The kitchen, for example, is made for everyday living with a heightened sense of style. Against black fluted panels that blend the kitchen joinery, the Moldavite quartzite bench-top steals the show. The pantry doors, when parted, reveal more of that stone as an integrated coffee bench. “It’s a little moment of magic,” Greg tells Home Design. “I love being able to create these for my clients”.

Set on a generous block of land, this Australian Federation home has been lovingly reimagined as a charming collision of colour, character, and considered design.

From citrus-banded ceilings to graphic chandeliers, Greg Natale’s latest residential project, Gordon House, celebrates the joy of decoration while staying grounded in thoughtful craftsmanship. When looking to transform a 1918 Australian Federation home, the owners of this two-storey property on Sydney’s North Shore turned to Greg Natale. When first purchased, the home had been stripped. It was up to Greg to reinstate the authentic early 20th-century detailing and restore the home’s original character.

“We chose Greg because we’ve long admired the work he’s done with other heritage homes,” they told Vogue Living. “Our brief was to honour the Federation heritage of this house without relying on the usual clichés,” the clients explained. The result is an eclectic yet highly tailored interior layered with references from different eras — a home full of depth, contrast, and just the right amount of drama.

The palette moves from soft European neutrals into moments of red, chartreuse, and cerulean. Postmodern silhouettes appear throughout, from Murano glass chandeliers to Memphis Milano accessories. Despite its visual richness, every element is attuned to family life. In the open-plan kitchen and living space, the design feels warm and sculptural. The added rear-extension to the home is anchored by a vaulted ceiling and softened with boucle lounges and creamy carpets, leading out onto a patio and garden space. With its resorted Federation exterior and a playful Milano-esque interior, Gordon House is a feast for the eyes from start to finish.
