Katie’s team was tasked with decorating this layered home, previously a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the West Seattle neighborhood overlooking the serene Puget Sound. Working alongside the homeowner, photographer Deb Achak, color, texture, and pattern come together to highlight and expand on the home’s existing architectural details and historical nods.
I had to share another project by designer Katie LeClercq. Her effortlessly casual and comfortable style whilst embracing original details is 150% blog worthy. Photography: Aaron Leitz

Rose Uniacke is the doyenne of understated, elegant design. Her 1860s mansion in London’s Pimlico neighborhood is everything she exudes in her designs. It is stately, exquisitely minimal, poetic, intentional, restrained and absolute perfection.
“I fell for this house years before we bought it. There was a magic. But it was too large, too damaged and most definitely too big a project. My husband, David and I walked away; it would be madness to take it on. But it never left me. I often thought about how I might tame it’s space, just enough to become liveable. Three years later, it was still there. Nobody else would touch it, and we took the plunge.” Photos: François Halard

If you thought using at least 10 wallpapers in an apartment would be a sensory overload sort of experience, Studio DB proves in this space in Manhattan that it absolutely is not too much. It adds so much whimsy and mystical vibes, and each space transports you to another world. With other global elements as well it’s a bit of Asia, Morocco, Columbia combine and make it really dynamic and unexpected. Photos: Matthew Williams; Styling: Hilary Robertson.

This custom home was built along the shores of Mercer Island, WA and may have breathtaking views but the views inside are also pretty great 🙂 Katie LeClercq added vintage and modern elements in mostly neutral tones and lots of dark accents (I’m always a fan of that) that create a light-filled but cozy and cocooning vibe that really lets the spectacular scene beyond the windows be the focal point.

Interior designer Polly Ashman transformed this semi detached Victorian home in West London into a family-friendly, warm and cheerful home with the use of lots of colours and patterns in the most pleasant and easy-to-live-with ways. Bold but not too bold. Bright but not too bright. Maximum comfort level. And she even added the prettiest green to the kitchen crittall doors.
