This Nashville home designed by Ray Booth is a wonderful example of an interior that at first glance is polished and elegant yet is approachable and charming at the same time. A perfect combination that is timeless and always a winner.

“We also respect and honor the history of your home, celebrating its legacy while nurturing its future.”

It’s one thing to enforce contemporary needs on a historic home, demolish, reconfigure, makeover. It’s another to carefully bring it into the future while embracing its past like this classic Arts and Crafts house by Minneapolis-based Anne McDonald Design.

Oh the drama! Oh the theatre! Oh the inspiration! What else would you expect from Lyon-based designer Claude Cartier? A master of colour, texture and pattern his work may divide opinions but it is always on the cutting edge of design.

I am suffering from heart palpitations over this absolutely magical home designed by Blyth-Collinson Interiors. Especially the exterior. Seriously – be still my heart.
Set in famous and bucolic grounds, this residence has a fascinating history and has been used in various ways, most notably as a hunting lodge. With this as inspiration, we turned a somewhat bland interior into a warm and sophisticated home, where our client’s extensive collection of important art and antiques could be displayed to their best advantage. Set over several levels, we refurbished rooms, installed furnishings, curtains, and fittings, and worked with specialist experts to ensure artworks were hung correctly. We commissioned bespoke furniture and cabinetry to blend seamlessly into the scheme and bedroom walls were upholstered with exquisite fabrics.  From cushions to candles, furnishings to fabrics, we created a convivial atmosphere, where our client loves to entertain and enjoy the pristine country surrounds. 

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish like this art gallery by Paris-based interior design firm Batiik Studio.
