A contemporary oasis in a historic townhouse. Think modern and minimalist but with luxury finishes and a soft monochrome palette. Refined, curated and a sanctuary from the outside bustle. A home that welcomes you home with its simplicity. Townhouse H by Hoboken, New Jersey based Corvino Design.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Papillon Salon by Knot Studio.

“Art and Crafts meets Mid Century design in this characterful and homely house in North London. Beautiful timbers, terracotta flooring, handmade tiles and lime wash paint provide a calm backdrop to playful colours and prints; resulting in a home which is both uplifting and restful in equal measure.”

LA designer Gabrielle Aker “founded Aker Interiors with the innate belief that the spaces we inhabit greatly impact us. The power of beauty and the feeling of home is deeply consequential to the way we live, affecting our emotional, spiritual, & physical selves.” Interiors are highly personalized, a marriage of the client’s individuality and the studio’s eye for detail none more so than their stylish Chelsea project.

Lucky Charm

“With their deep appreciation for Japanese crafts and Art Nouveau combined with a love of reading plus music and dancing, we created a Frank Lloyd Wright meets experimental conservatorium haven for our clients where the vinyl collection spins on rotation whenever the piano lid’s closed.”

What was once a cold, white interior has been transformed with custom window treatments and warm desert hues, accented by sage, tamarillo, and lavender. Artistic elements include jewel-toned rugs and a Art Nouveau-inspired stained glass window featuring Australian gumtrees. Bespoke shelving and storage units feature throughout the home. Intricate drawer pulls, cork and patterned wallpaper conceal the TV while a custom rug subtly reflects Art Nouveau influences. An angled sofa adds dynamic flair. Lucky Charm, a Coogee, Sydney apartment by YSG.
