Tired of beige on beige? Craving colour, strong, bold and fabulous? This Culver renovation by Sagrada Studio embraced the client’s Indian roots and showcased her collection of art and textiles. Unique and full of personality. Beige? Who needs beige?

At times moody and masculine at others filled with soft light through wafting drapes this Greenwich Townhouse by Kristin Fine and Analisse Taft-Gersten of The 1818 Collective is a sanctuary in the bustling city. Sophisticated yet welcoming with carefully curated furniture and art.

“A charming mid-century California Bungalow in a riverside location is sensitively and deftly re-imagined with extensive additions, renovations and interior design covering all spaces new and old … Calm and quiet, flooded with natural light and views to the garden through every window and even brick, this home is magnificently responsive to everything the busy and happy family can throw at it inside and out. As, hopefully, all homes can be.”

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s stylish. Studio space of Cristina Celestino in the Città Studi district of Milan.

“This Haussmannian apartment houses a clever mix of strong contemporary pieces, nuanced by furniture with vintage accents. The bold colour choices, the onyx of the worktops, the marbled resin of the floor and the curved red wall of the kitchen shake up this traditional Parisian interior.”
