“We were commissioned to design 11 model apartments for a Lower East Side residential building, One Manhattan Square. Each apartment tells the story of the unique characters who might someday inhabit the space. The apartments were transformed from white walled units into richly layered homes that are inviting to a range of potential residents.”

New York designer Anna Karlin transformed once white boxes into richly layered homes. Here are two of the apartments. The first a colourful and richly patterned home full of contrasts and collected objects. The second a welcoming space for friends and family to gather with soft textures and warm hues.

An apartment in Rome in the Piazza di Spagna, with an interior that is classic, urban, and sophisticated, a perfect foil to the incredible scenery beyond the windows. With so much history and architecture within view, the black and white colour palette was a brilliant choice to avoid becoming a distraction. Designed by architect and designer Stefano Dorata.

Let’s start the weekend with a little riot … of colour and pattern that is. Don’t let those beige rendered walls fool you. It’s all about floral wallpaper, Indian block print, vibrant suzani and bold stripes in this Madrid apartment by Marta de la Rica. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

London/Milan based designer Nicolo Castellini Baldissera created a colourful cacophony in this Milan apartment. It has a wonderful European, travelled sensibility and all of the beautiful colours on the walls really add life and dimension. (Photos: Guido Taroni)

“The Lilo apartment upgrade was designed to play to the strengths of the beachfront art-deco building and create a laid-back, sophisticated refuge for our client. As the client leases the apartment, we minimised heavy intervention and used material applications to transform the previously run-down site. A playfully resolved loose-furniture scheme creates lasting value.”

Minimalism sitting on a maximalist floor. No just kidding. Who says you can’t have a stylish home when you’re renting?
