Madrid-based interior designer Tristan Domecq is known for his elegant, European style and I love how he mixes styles and eras together seemingly effortlessly to create a very dynamic and intriguing space. This apartment in Salamanca, Spain has some Spanish influences with some strong French influences at the same time which I love. Why paint yourself into a box when you really don’t need to? Also every doorway should be wrapped in marble, don’t you think? Now that’s taking things to a whole other level of elegance.

Imagine a Parisian apartment blending old-world charm with chic 60s design and modern comforts, transformed by Ola Jachymiak Studio in Paris’s 9th arrondissement. Preserving features like parquet floors and tall wooden doors, Ola’s team enhanced the space with contemporary elements. Restored floors and doors maintain historical essence, while art adds depth. Retro touches like a black-and-white mosaic and bespoke furniture complete the design.

This apartment in Las Vegas goes against everything you think of when you think “modern minimalism”. For starters there is COLOUR. I was fully expecting this to be an all white apartment. Which would have been BLEH. And I get it when you collect art that you need a neutral backdrop to showcase it. But here designer Daniella Villamil used a pale blue – Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light. Such a pretty alternative to white! And a green kitchen – YESSSSS!!! (It is Benjamin Moore’s Forest Green). There is also a level of comfort thanks to a big squishy sectional sofa, a shaggy rug, lime washed bedroom walls, wallpaper and patterned curtains. Photo: Amy Bartlam.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. RIXO Marleybone by Cúpla.

This century home in Outremont embodies one of our core beliefs at Blanc Marine, which is to preserve and enhance a home’s original features while giving it new personality. Its wall paneling, glazed china cabinets and the glass partition separating the vestibule from the entrance have been upgraded and highlighted. The strong presence of dark colors, balanced by the bright envelope in which they are set, gives this residence an aesthetic totally congruent with its history and the Blanc Marine signature.
I love Blanc Marine so very much. Their appreciation of history and love of the drama of dark against light is what keeps me coming back to their projects and being constantly in awe. Photos: Annie Fafard
