Singer-songwriter Lauv entrusted Studio Keeta, led by Kristina Khersonsky, with renovating his home to suit his creative lifestyle and love of art. The brief sought a relaxed space merging indoors with nature, enriched by vibrant colours and textures. The uniquely laid-out home with separate spaces connected externally allowed for individualized designs. Architectural highlights include an unconventional stairwell and panoramic views framed by glass walls.

Stephenie and Chase Watts are a busy husband-wife team (Watts Design House). They focus on real estate, interior design, and have renovated and offer boutique stay locations, including House On The Hill in Salt Lake, House On The Cape in Cape Cod, and Casa Pantera in Mérida, Mexico. These are unique home destinations that capture the expressive nature of each place, encompass guests in soulful interiors and are formulated with the avant guard sophisticate in mind. Each stay offers a distinct experience- focusing on elements unique to that home and it’s geographical location. The home in Mérida, as featured in some of the photos below, is an absolute dream.

Another fabulous project by the ladies of Pierce & Ward. It is a maximalist’s dream home filled with fun shapes and lots of vintage art and adorable kitchen and bathrooms. And it is also goes to show what photographers will do during post-processing (to the extent that you think you’re looking at a different room).

This Madrid home by Tristán Domecq is all about quiet luxury. With its dark timbers and liberal use of stone the lines are a contemporary riff on art deco motifs all the while respecting its historical elements such as the elaborate cornices. It may seem at times a little constrained and carefully curated then the quirkiness of the wicker chairs in the style of Chris Wolston and the feminine touch of the floral painting bring a smile to your face. Elegant, discrete with a quick flick of a smile.

I’m always talking about attention to detail and how in awe I am of the skill of designers to layer to many elements in a space that it feels like your brain may explode (in a good way). There is a lot going on in the Indianapolis home of designer Tiffany Skilling and I really REALLY love it. Each space is like a jewel box full of treasures. The kitchen is a prime example. A mural type wallpaper with a fairly bold marble is a little shocking at first but layered they really compliment each other…and then you walk around the corner into a pantry and bar area, and around the other corner another butler’s pantry? I’m dying. I applaud her unique style and brave approach to elegant maximalism. Photos: Sarah Shields.
