Best Rooms of 2011 - A selection of contemporary Aussie spaces

Here's another instalment of House and Garden's Top 50 rooms of 2011 for you. This time I've picked out a few of the simple contemporary spaces that very much speak of Australian style to me. They feature neutral colours, with lots of white and natural materials and would fit effortlessly in any Australian setting from the city, to the country, to the coast.

Alena Smith, Director, Smith Design Studio.

Andrew Waller, Director, Andrew Waller Design.

Caroline Pidcock, Director, Pidcock Architecture+Sustainability.

Helga ten Brummelaar, Project Director, DtB Architects.

Designed by Susi Leeton, Director, Susi Leeton Architects.

Yuri Dillon, Director, Liquid Blu.

So, is this more your style than the bold and bright rooms I featured last week?
