This 220m2 apartment in Paris’ 16th arrondissement represents Paris design to a T. The meticulousness of the details to take advantage of every square inch and provide plenty of storage, the exquisite selection of furnishings, a wide range of materiality (that MUST include marble), and an overall air of sophistication and elegance that one expects from a Parisian dwelling.

This Park Avenue Duplex by Commune brings a fresh, quietly relaxed sensibility to an iconic Park Avenue address. After stripping back the ornate 1980s remodel, the team uncovered generous light and graceful proportions that set the tone for a full redesign. A Swedish-inspired palette and vintage patterns are paired with a mix of antiques and thoughtfully crafted furnishings. Layers of subtle texture and expressive details create an interior that feels elegan and completely at ease in its historic setting.

Dan Mazzarini of Mazzarini & Co. (formerly BHDM Design as featured here many times) is known for his classic, elegant style in a mostly black and white colour palette. It’s no surprise his Greenwich Village apartment is exactly that – modern and sophisticated with a very neutral colour scheme but he uses some cream and brown tones that really warm up the spaces and keeps it from being too austere. I know some folks aren’t fans of paper covered books but I am really into that whole shelving situation in the living room (I’d at least write the book titles in a faintly legible fine tip black pen).

This Haussmannian apartment of 147 m2 in Paris’ 17th arrondissement was completely redesigned by interior architect Hava Castro. It is bright and cocooning, perfect for a family and the pretty sage green in the foyer, kitchen and bathroom is the perfect shade of serenity. I love the modernity of this space but how the curves, colours and lighting really soften and and add a level of comfort (especially with that Roche Bobois bubble sofa).

Maison Leonard by Studio Zung feels like a calm, timeless escape in the middle of Tribeca. Blending warm minimalism with refined wabi sabi vibes, it offers four bedrooms, roomy living spaces, and sweeping 360-degree views of Manhattan. The design gently works with the building’s historic bones, using soft tones, inviting textures, and low-slung furniture to keep those skyline views front and center. Thoughtful custom pieces tie everything together with an easy, cohesive energy.
