This Berlin villa’s layout and history have been completely reimagined by designer Fabian Freytag. Given total creative freedom, the designer infused every floor and room with bold colour. Each space features two complementary tones applied to walls, furniture, and even the ceilings. Inspired by Matisse and the 1920s, the ceilings now showcase striking geometric patterns that turn them into statement features. The result is a vibrant residence that blends the villa’s storied past with a fresh, contemporary spirit. Photos: Vincent Leroux & Kozy Studio.

This Haussmannian apartment of 147 m² in Paris’ 17th arrondissement was completely redesigned by interior architect Hava Castro. It is bright and cocooning, perfect for a family and the pretty sage green in the foyer, kitchen and bathroom is the perfect shade of serenity. I love the modernity of this space but how the curves, colours and lighting really soften and and add a level of comfort (especially with that Roche Bobois bubble sofa).

A historic Connecticut home originally built in the 1830s along the Silvermine River, The Basket House was once a working basketmaker’s workshop. Moore House Design reimagined the residence for Brunch with Babs, blending heritage craftsmanship with modern livability across a comprehensive renovation and restoration.The project scope included a full kitchen and pantry redesign, new dining and living spaces, custom tilework, and handcrafted finishes throughout. Signature details — including woven latticework, hand-painted tiles, and bespoke plaster treatments — celebrate the home’s artisanal roots while creating a warm, inviting foundation for everyday life.
The decor here leans much more traditional than we’re used to seeing from MHD, and I am really loving how they leaned into it with lots of sage green and elements of nature. It includes the prettiest and most funtional European style kitchen, a moody great room, a former greenhouse turned dining room, lattice embellished breakfast nook… Photos: Jared Kuzia; Styling: Jennlilly Mckeon.

Our clients purchased a beautiful family home on a dream lot in High Park and came to us to furnish it from top to bottom and renovate key areas. The completed space is a true celebration of furniture and decor as functional art and represents collaborations with artists around the world. The artist’s hand is seen in the subtle imperfections – from the rough edges of the powder room stained glass mirror, to the uneven surface of the ceramic shades on the entry sconces, to the bunching of fabric on each roll of the chaise lounge. These imperfections bring life to the pieces and are what makes the space feel so storied – because there are genuine stories. The result feels timeless, yet fresh. Highly curated, yet effortless.
Art this really is. Those rust coloured velvet sofas are giving me heart palpitations (I’m currently on the hunt for a new sofa…on that note if anyone local wants to buy my Freeform sofa hit me up!). Designed by Clare Forndran and Danielle De Francesco of Forward Interiors. Photos: Lauren Miller.

On the outskirts of a village in the Haut Anjou region stands this remarkable château built by a superintendent of finance for the Sun King in the late 17th century, whose classical architecture is matched only by the refinement of its interior decor. The château offers over 800m2 of living space and more than 20 rooms, including superb reception rooms on the ground floor with sumptuous Louis XV decorations: vestibule d’honneur, grand salon with rocaille gypseries and wood panelling, dining room with fountain and Solesmes marble fireplace, wine cellar, 18th-century kitchen with kitchen garden and 5-meter-high ceiling, grand baluster staircase, salon with fireplace, vaulted hall (former chapel), bathroom, study, summer kitchen. Second floor: apartment comprising kitchen, bedroom, living room with superb wood panelling, bathroom, toilet, large gallery opening onto 8 bedrooms with bathrooms. The entire property was completely renovated (except for some windows) in the 1990s (roofing, plumbing, electricity), with minor refurbishment to be scheduled. A vast outbuilding wing comprising stables (two boxes), marble dairy, bread oven, sheds and a renovated janitor’s cottage with two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, closes off the courtyard of honor. Well, rose garden. The whole forms a peaceful estate on over 18ha of land, including lawn with boxwood parterre, meadows, woods and a river forming an island, as well as fine recent equestrian facilities and a tower used as a dovecote. 
Picking my jaw up off the floor. This château is an absolute beauty with a really pretty exterior and grounds and the architectural details inside are so elegant. For sale via Kretz for €1,790,000.
