Homes to Love featured Akora Cabin in their 2026 Jervis Bay edit. Best for location which is high praise indeed.

I designed it as a one-bedroom adults-only reset - two minute stroll to Hyams Beach, outdoor daybed, a deck, and a checkout time that respects a Sunday morning sleep in.

Winter down there is genuinely one of the better-kept secrets on the south coast. Mild days, no crowds, and bioluminescence season coming up soon. If you’ve been sitting on the idea of a weekend away, this is probably the moment.

Link in bio for dates - two night minimum.

Plaid Sand from my 2026 rug collection is now available.

Plaid Sand is a jute rug with woven plaid patterning. With colours of natural sand and ivory, it’s easy to place into any room to add another layer of subtle pattern and detail.

Hand loomed in jute and cotton, it has the irregularity and character you want from a natural fibre, and is designed to get better with age.

Now available at darrenpalmer.com

Sydney weather this week is made for burning a candle.

The range has five fragrances, all custom blended by Olivier and me, hand-poured soy wax set in concrete forms. They smell exactly as good as they look. Ask if you want a second opinion.

Big week. I’ve been holding these two for months and they both landed at once.

First clip is me pre-release with collection three. Now it’s in homes. I wanted them beautiful and adaptable, nothing fussy, and seeing the response to them this week has been awesome.

Slides 2 to 4 are the textures and details you’ve been asking about.

Last slide is the trailer for episode two of . It’s live now, new episodes every Thursday from here.

I read every comment and message personally and yes that’s me responding to them. It’s always good to chat on comments but this week especially it’s meant a lot.

Let me know which team you’re on, team rugs or team HOTC? See you Thursday.

My third rug collection is here and this one feels the most considered so far.

Every collection I’ve designed has taught me something about what people actually need from a rug, and this time around the brief I set myself was simple. Pieces that are beautiful to look at and genuinely good to live with, in any kind of home, across any aesthetic. That combination sounds straightforward but it’s harder to land than it seems.

The palette started with snow gum bark. If you’ve ever stopped and actually looked at it, it contains everything: cream, olive, warm ochre, dusty sage, pale clay, all of it muted and shifting depending on the light. It’s one of the most sophisticated natural palettes in the Australian landscape and it became the reference point for the whole collection.

The tones move through ginger, almond and olive. The motifs are subtle, the textures are the kind you want to walk on barefoot, and the pieces are designed to anchor a room without competing with everything around them. They work whether your home is contemporary, classic, relaxed, or still figuring out what it wants to be.

The first three designs are Malabar Ginger, Ceylon Almond and Sierra Dusk, available now. More pieces are coming through May and June.
