The owner’s desire for an elegant and serene home in the hustle and bustle of New York saw interior designer Augusta Hoffman use custom finishes and a refined palette of tactile neutrals. The apartment is furnished with a balance of new and vintage pieces carefully curated but personal.

This Paris apartment’s previous owner had lived here for many decades. It was essentially a time capsule (check out the before photos here) when the new owners came into its possession. Agence Véronique Cotrel understood the importance of trying to maintain as much of the history as possible (bless them for doing “God’s work”) and removed carpet to uncover original hardwood, restored doors, hardware, cornices, windows and bathed the main spaces in shades of white. The result is so much fresher, and open and airy and gives an air of modernity to the otherwise historical space. What a beauty!!! Photos: Amaury Laparra.

I came across this apartment after falling down a rabbit hole of blog research randomness and had to share. This is the Barcelona home of Ana Viladomiu located in the iconic La Pedrera building designed by Antoni Gaudi. Clara Quintana Studio art directed this shoot for Santa & Cole lighting, with photography by Salva López. The materials and architectural detail make this soooo special. Must be a little strange though living in a building that has become a tourist attraction.

Serenity in a white minimal space. Not sure it could be my every day cup of tea but imagine this as a weekend getaway. OH YES. This is the Barcelona apartment of interior designer Isern Serra and object designer and ceramist Valeria Vasi. A white microcement space left very open with lots of built-ins make it the perfect studio space and blank slate to display objects. Simply lovely.

Welcome to the whimsy of Adam Charlap Hyman’s (of Charlap Hyman & Herrero) own 1924 apartment in Manhattan. He describes it as “a soulful collection of historically significant and contemporary furnishings”. I call it 74 m² of fun and fancy.
