“He redefines a free modernity that isn’t opposed to the past but rather incorporates historical references, a discrete ambience and a taste for the intimate while also being daring with bold combinations and through the imaginative use of light and space. Casiraghi delights in overturning the codes of interior design with surprising contrasts: neon light with ancient mirrors, precious fabrics with industrial resin, and antique furniture with extravagant plant displays, always with a seductive harmony and an invitation to travel, sometimes calm, sometimes exotic.”

It’s a marriage of timeless classicism and modernity, a respect for the past with an exploration of the new. A cursory glance and you think “Ah yes a lovely traditional Parisian apartment” but look more closely and you’ll see the twist. It’s like adding spice to the dish. Apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris by Fabrizio Casiraghi.

This Haussmanian-style apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a literal work of art. Stunning architectural details set the stage – the moldings, large windows and chevron hardwood flooring. The walls painted in subdued earth tones are quite intriguing as typically spaces showcasing art are painted white. And as for the art, it’s from a broad range of eras which is very unexpected. Wonderful! Designed by Rodolphe Parente.

WOW!!! Walking into the Harlem apartment of designer Courtney McLeod (of Right Meets Left Interior Design) must have everyone immediately grinning from ear to ear. This is BOLD and DRAMATIC and SO MUCH FUN! That saturated blue, mixed with orange and pink (and subtle red and green) is a quirky combination that works so beautifully. And a more calming bedroom with a stunning wallpaper adds sophistication. (Check out more of Courtney’s work here)

This apartment in Milan (of fashion designer Federica Vieros) has many elements that really speak to me so I had to share. Swoon-worthy architecture, unique colour and wallpaper choices, and a covetable collection of vintage lighting, furnishings and accessories make this home absolutely delightful. Via sköna hem.

“The aim of this project was to respect the building’s rather posh 1960s architectural soul while inserting the client’s sensibility and the realities of 21st-century family living into the way the space functions. A very masculine approach to aesthetics for a very feminine client with a high sensibility for art and design.”

And why “Informalist”? Because of the family’s impressive collection of art from the Spanish Informalism period. Another striking project by Casa Muñoz.
