Two things about this Notting Hill artist studio that I must point out. 1 – Black walls win over white any day. 2 – If you are going to go minimal, do it like this. Earthy, edgy and textured. Saskia Blyth of Blyth-Collinson Interiors is responsible for nailing this space.

Modern architecture and interiors is not my first love but I appreciate the openness and light and simplicity. Like in this recently built Houston home designed by Laura U Interior Design. I love that fireplace statement wall in the living room and sculptural furnishings.

Intoxicating and serene, the ’70s Rêve is a glam rock riff on the sultry vibes and breezy bliss of bohemian life. Restored and reconceived, this lush estate in Ross, California, exudes a balmy calm with a sexy swagger. Earthy and sumptuous, playfully plush, it teems with the effervescent cool of a YSL muse—both ageless and of the moment. A 70’s dream this is!

Viviano Viviano is a mother-son (Catherine and Michael) interior design and architecture firm based in Houston, Texas, and I love what they do. We create modern spaces imbued with warmth and comfort. Our projects vary in tone and personality – indeed, each is a reflection of the respective client’s lifestyle and interests – but we aim for a quiet elegance across all our work. We curate a studious mix of vintage, antique and contemporary pieces meant to evoke a sense of timelessness and ease.

This contemporary extension to a Federation home in Sydney’s Bondi is light, bright and family friendly. The open plan, luxe but subtle material palette and the layering of texture result in welcoming modern living that brings this beautiful old home into a new century.
