If you are going to embrace colour and pattern in your home, I saw GO ALL OUT. And this is how you do it. Patterns in florals, leopard, ikat and more, and colours in the richest, yummiest shades of raspberry, teal, mustard, plum, pink…. you’d think the owners are some extravagant, eccentric, worldly couple who have lived here 80 years.

A modern villa in Florida filled with antique materials and collected objects.  The villa is frequently used for large events and gatherings and our goal was to create an indoor-outdoor lifestyle with a refined yet relaxed aesthetic, a place where one would be equally as comfortable in a gown as barefoot. I love the natural colour palette, casual and somewhat tropical vibe. I’d love to do something like this in a hacienda in Mexico 🙂 Architect: John Lamb with all Interior Architecture by Lauren Liess & Co, Builder: Adam Baker

For a room that is the hub of the home I think more of chaos and mess, people coming and going, fridge doors open fridge doors close than a serene retreat but that is just what Tina Rich has created. I’ll put the kettle on and we’ll pull up a stool and take time out of our busy day.

Welcome to this tiny (30sq m) Haussmannian pied-à-terre with its beautiful original features and bespoke pieces to delineate spaces and provide function. A small kitchen sits in an alcove carved from a central volume which houses the bathroom and a mezzanine sleeping area above. The living room is separated from the bedroom by a berry coloured fluted screen providing privacy and a pop of colour. Boulevard Haussmann by Paris-based Batiik Studio.

Back in July Jo featured a scullery designed by Studio Laloc. And I have been obsessed with the idea of having a scullery ever since. (So handy and such a cute space to decorate!) In honour of this small room of rooms that I cannot get out of my head, here are some more beautiful spaces by Lauren Lothrop Caron.
