He’s the master of mixing eras, of taking a limited palette and adding richness and interest through texture and shape. French-born, Spanish-based Serge Castella’s take on mid modern is fresh, artistic and just a little quirky. Who could mix an elegant French commode with Roman amphora and still remain true to the mid mod aesthetic? His background in fashion and antiques is obvious in his interior design work. Stylish, chic and totally individual.

“Corinne is able to distill the essence of unexpected perfection and create space like a painter does, subtly punctuating and bridging the environment, allowing rooms to become places of freedom and clarity.”

It’s true. These photos are like a painter’s study, a small view of the intended work of art. I want to see the whole creation. A glimpse into a Brooklyn loft designed by Corinne Gilbert.

Serenity. A sense of calm. Of peacefulness. Self-control and poise. An ease of living. A constraint. Carefully curated and cool but not disparate or dull. Imagine living in these rooms. The idea of settling in but not settling for. Home as meditation. By Madrid-based interior designer Luisa Olazabal.

I was sent the newly launched book Ode to Color: The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design by textile designer Lori Weitzner before Christmas and didn’t get a chance to peruse it, much less prepare this post until now. I am sorry it took me so long because this book is delicious – a perfect addition to the stack on your coffee table. This book is truly a journey into the world of colour, and takes an in-depth look at the ten essential “color worlds”. Lori shares with us the connections to color on a psychological and spiritual level. “What connects them in a level of engagement: they speak to the senses on an emotional level, influencing our moods and jogging memory, and simply speaking to who we are, functioning as a form of self-expression.” The photos that accompany her thoughts are beautiful examples that really demonstrate the impact color has on our lives. It is truly a lovely book, from HarperCollins Publishers. You can ger yourself a copy here.
