This apartment on Warren Street, NY is located on the 21st floor of a glass skyscraper is bold, vibrant, artsy, playful and was designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard with the homeowner’s colour-blindness in mind – he can see pure, bright colours like blues, reds and yellow. Hence the use of some blue and red throughout. The living room wall shelving is a major red statement, and the bathtub rendered in Yves Klein Blue set into a curved nook is a really cool situation that makes me want to tub-lounge. Speaking of statements, the semi-circular brushed stainless steel islands are such a cool focal point. So much uniqueness here. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

Belén Ferrándiz blends modern and traditional elements to create timeless, elegant and functional interiors. In this project—a restored home in a small town in Spain’s Santander Valley—she preserved original features like stone, shutters and ceiling details, painted white to enhance light. With open spaces, soft tones and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, the result is a serene, cozy retreat designed for relaxation and rural charm.

Studio Meghan Eisenberg embraces each space’s unique character, drawing from its architectural roots to shape a timeless, relaxed design. For a 1927 Spanish Colonial in Santa Monica, the firm restored the home’s lost charm for a young family. The result blends historical integrity with soft modern touches. Warm, natural furnishings complement the architecture, creating a vibrant yet serene environment that reflects the family’s lifestyle.

Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!!

When the homeower of this Central Park West apartment called upon designer Fawn Galli to create a family home here, she wanted it to be light, fun and eclectic, with a bit of old-world, and lots of character to the furnishings. That is right up Fawn’s alley, as her spaces are typically pretty unique and full of life. I adore the quirkiness she added here, as if the homeowner had spent years collecting containers-full of the coolest stuff found at Paris flea markets. Photos: Marili Forastieri.
