This exquisite outdoor space is that of London writer Daisy Garnett. There is nothing I love more than groupings of a mass of random pots with random plants. And because I am dying to get my backyard oasis going in this rather miserably cold weather (and while in a never-ending lockdown), I was desperate for some inspiration. Via House & Garden.

Spaces designed with the intention of being easy to look at and live with. Oh yesssssss I could not agree more. By NYC based Nicholas Obeid.

This Los Angeles Tudor home has a dramatic light and dark situation going on, with most of the spaces having a nordic/scandi pale wood and lots of white and neutrals going on, and then the kitchen takes a 180 degree turn and has several black elements. I love that unexpected pairing, especially when most people would go white in a kitchen (BORING!). Another fab space designed by Freudenberger Design Studio.

A beautiful traditional farmhouse exterior (located in Ancramdale, NY) surprises you on the inside. The interiors of this modest 19th century farmhouse were pared down and simplified to better foreground its owner’s collection of contemporary art while a unified color scheme and the absence of wood surfaces created a backdrop for an interior design scheme focused on effortless eclecticism. Furniture and accessories were drawn from icons of twentieth century design, early American antiques, and charming vintage and flea market finds to create a domestic environment that is both playful and finely nuanced. The exterior of the farmhouse was painted a muted dusty grey, its modesty only offset by a vibrant yellow door and a romantic and exuberant garden and outdoor courtyard. The outdoor perennial beds, also designed by Berman Horn Studio, change with the seasons, and create a colorful oasis within the rolling landscape. Designed by Berman Horn Studio.

Dartk and moody, modern and minimalist. Blurring the lines between outdoors and indoors. This weekend home is designed to maximise water views while accommodating a low maintenance, single story layout. The spaces within the house are arranged around a central courtyard which not only acts as a physical separation between the guest wing and public areas but allows views of the water for every room. All of the building materials, charred wood siding, zinc metal and exposed concrete, require little maintenance and age gracefully over time. These materials reflect the owner’s desire for a home that will blend within the landscape and provide a relaxing retreat from the city. Architect: Adam Jordan. Photos: Eric Petschek.
