This decoration project was for a repeat client with a charming ancient stone cottage in Wiltshire. They had done a renovation on the cottage several years before we met, but always felt that it was lacking in character and energy. So the brief was to bring energy and colour into the house without making any changes that would require building work. Since the house was already fully furnished, we focused on recovering all of the clients’ existing furniture and redecorating the walls. Newly added finishing touches like lamps, shades and cushions brought the schemes together. Looking at the finished house I’m so glad that the clients’ strong happy energy is now reflected in their home.
Designed by Brandon Schubert, this home is imbued with so much charm I can hardly stand it. The colours and all of the lovely vintage patterns are sooooo perfect for this 16th century Wiltshire cottage. Photos: Boz Gagovski.

In the Aude department, on the famous wine route, this castle blends harmoniously into a landscape of green hills, meadows and majestic mountains. This castle, with the soul of a private mansion, offers a unique atmosphere thanks to its terrazzo floors, its oak floors, its majestic staircase illuminated by an imposing chandelier, its remarkable ceiling heights, and its delicate wall paintings. The marble fireplaces complete the whole, bringing warmth and refinement. With its 12 large bedrooms, most of which have private bathrooms and some on one level, this castle is designed to welcome with comfort. Completing the castle is a large orangery adjoining old barns for a total of 150m2, which are now reception areas.
YES PLEASE!!!!! The details of this château are spectacular, particularly the mosaic tile floor. What a dream! Huge too and reasonably priced (IMHO) at €1,100,000 via Poncet & Poncet.

I adore the reinvention of this East Hampton beach house designed by Augusta Hoffman. It used to be owned by designer Robert Stilin so there wasn’t much reinventing needed as Robert has impeccable style, but what Augusta brought to this home has completely won me over. Designed for entertaining to have the vibes of a casual and comfortable hotel suite, it is the perfect balance of elegance and unpretentiousness. Photos: Tim Lenz.

Vibrant penthouse balancing the iconic with the niche. With a simple brief of ‘as little white as possible‘, we had the pleasure of designing and curating the interiors of a newly built penthouse in a residential building in Kreuzberg. We accompanied the clients when they bought the property during the shell construction phase (right before COVID hit). The colours where consciously used to functionally define the open plan space – the kitchen is bright yellow, the dining area is kept in shades of red and the living room is drenched in green. A more atmospheric, nuanced design was chosen for the private area of the apartment, whereas all corners are carefully curated for a vibrant, lived-in composition. The goal was to create a rhythm of elements that pull interest and spark conversations, while being totally useful and not too precious. Each design decision in this project was taken with a full commitment – there are no half-measures here. And that adds to the joy, thinking of the final effect.
Such fun use of colours here, and I will always be smitten with bright yellow kitchens. That island of yellow tile is such a happy statement. This whole apartment is a statement, with such a wonderful energy. Designed by Studio Bosko.

Design firm Pierce & Ward will forever be a favourite of mine, that I find so incredibly inspirational. Their love of all things vintage and antique, their creativity and uniqueness, and the coziness and lived-in feel of their projects always capture my heart. This 1900s cottage in Los Angeles was filled with the prettiest wallpapers, lots of patterned textiles and of course tons of antiques, giving it a bit of Scottish pub vibes (the homeowner is Scottish). How lovely!! Photos: Justin Chung.
