Hive LA Home is a Los Angeles based interior design company inspired by travel, nature, comfort, and functionality. Devon McKeon and Jess Fleming create modernized, usable, stylish and at times dramatic spaces. I am obsessed with that monochromatic, jewel-toned dining room. Delish! (Photos: Amy Bartlam)

This 16th century country house in West Sussex is a wonderful example of going neutral and keeping things light and warm in a home that was probably very dark. All of the exposed beams and brick are gorgeous and add so much texture and a sense of pride of the home’s history. Designed by Rui Ribeiro.

This Tribeca loft is everything I could want in the industrial loft I’ve been dreaming about for a quarter of a century. Exposed brick and sprinkler pipes, archways, decorative tin ceilings are juxtaposed with elegant and refined furnishings and built-ins that add a luxurious feel. The result is dramatic and polished but very cozy. Designed by Studio DB. Photography by Matthew Williams.

Dream home alert! Beautiful, big Georgian/Victorian country house set in 140 acres of parkland with formal gardens, a valley garden with rare rhododendron trees and two large lakes. The house’s X-factor is a large, bright and unique Victorian conservatory with 80 year old camellia trees planted within it. Located in Kent. Stonewall Park is available as a location home via JJ Media Group.

What an absolutely beautiful example of blending a home in with the landscape. In this case it’s a home of traditional Mallorcan architecture made of local sandstone, with the Serra de Tramontana mountains in the background. The home’s structures form a courtyard that houses a pool surrounded by more stone. Hats off to Twobo architecture for creating this masterpiece.
