French interior designer Nicolas Payet of Agence Marn found this 78 sq m space in the attic of a Paris apartment building and set about completely renovating it and having a ton of fun creating a ‘contemporary and colourful cabin’ for himself and his 2 daughters (aged 7 and 11). Using a random assortment of many colours and adding lots of curves this apartment is quirky and has a playful energy that must be so pleasant to come home to. Photos: Hervé Goluza.

I spotted Arthouse, a location home on Shoot Factory, and had to share. It is a 1920’s terraced home in London with a top floor artists studio and I adore it. Mid-century vibes, rich wood (kitchen units are bamboo, joinery is Sapele wood) and a beautiful collection of textiles – some with an African vibe, all in my favourite colour scheme of cream, brown and black. I could move right into this with everything left as-is.

A classic 1930s Georgian Revival house originally built by architect Stanley Anderson underwent an extensive 3-year renovation. Home to Nate Berkus‘ design partner, Lauren Buxbaum Gordon and her family, the project continues to evolve five years in.
What a STUNNING home!!! It has so much character! I adore the tile flooring, arched doorways ALWAYS, everything about the kitchen and the overall dark neutral warmth of the decor. Such a wonderful mix of classic and contemporary. Architect: D. Stanley Dixon; Styling: Cate Ragan; Photos: Kelly Marshall.

Each and every Paris apartment I’ve featured on the blog knocks my socks off with the amount of creativity and space planning involved. This one designed by Santillane Design is no different, but is absolutely different in every way possible. You will never see more uniqueness and interesting and bold colour choices like they do in Paris. Blows my mind. The doorways of the reception rooms in this apartment are framed in brass for heaven’s sake! Photos: Julien Pépy.
