Residence Tuileries, designed by Necchi Architecture, is a 100 m² two-story townhouse located in the 1st arrondissement steps away from Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre. It is as elegantly Parisian as you could want, with elements of the 80s and 90s added in. Now this is where I would want to stay on my first visit to Paris….and I can! It is available through Pied À Terre website – a place to find architect-designed, unique apartments & townhouses unlike what you can find at a hotel or Airbnb. Photos: Ludovic Balay.

Though this beautiful historic Queen Anne-style home is a stunner on the outside and whose facade was not allowed to be changed, the interior was gutted and with the help of designer Nina Farmer, was re-built using period appropriate elements to honour its heritage whilst adding in some modernity for the needs of the current homeowners. It’s elegant and sophisticated but has a real warmth and usability for family life. Photos: David Mitchell; Styling: Mieke ten Have.

Stella Weatherall is a London-based interior design studio, founded in 2021. Our eclectic style and love of antique textiles is influenced by Stella’s childhood in Hong Kong, extensive travels in the Far East and a love and appreciation for all things Italian. We draw upon inspiration from across the globe and enjoy mixing styles, antiques and art to create decorative, unique interiors that tell our clients’ story.
A discernible love of pattern and maximalism (particularly when it comes to layering artwork on the walls), which imbues such a level of coziness and homeliness.

A multi-century chateau, its 15th-century gatehouse, immense outbuildings and romantic 42-hectare grounds traversed by a river, in the former Perche province. The description of this magnificent property is lengthy, but in essence the château structure has a ground floor (several sitting rooms, kitchen), first floor (seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a lavatory and library), second floor (ten bedrooms, two bathrooms and lavatories) and basement (several vaulted rooms with exposed stone walls). There is the three-story northern Saint François Tower, a gatehouse, a two-story Renaissance-era dwelling, a bell tower, former stables and outbuildings, a water tower, a vegetable garden, formal gardens, a canal…..
HOW IS THIS REAL??? And you would basically be buying a village. This is spectacular. For sale via Patrice Besse for €3,180,000.

A retreat to nature for our accomplished New York City clients. Deeply attuned to their environment, our clients partnered with Artemis Landscape Architects to restore the land, reintroducing native flora and seamlessly integrating the home into its natural setting. Our role was to bring warmth and depth to the newly built structure, infusing the interiors with soul, texture, and a narrative that feels both intentional and timeless. Thoughtful layers of materiality, vintage elements, and curated pieces create a home that is both a refuge and a reflection of its surroundings.
Getting behind this when white/cream walls don’t typically get me very excited because in typical Moore House Design fashion, lots of moodiness is added in dark furniture and accessories and the textures are always next level. I really love this Jamestown, RI home.
