This is why I admire interior designers so much. Their attention to detail is something I can barely wrap my brain around. To come up with so many colour combinations and patterns and architectural details in every single room….blows my mind. This home by Steven Gambrel again has me in complete awe of all of these details in every square inch.

Sean Anderson is one of the few designers I check in on regularly and when a new project pops up I immediately get excited. This home in Naples, Florida takes coastal living to a whole new, textural and elegantly neutral level.  Photos: Haris Kenjar.

Don’t let its staid Georgian facade fool you. Inside the Grade II-listed townhouse in Camberwell is a maximalist’s dream. Five floors of colour and art, antiques and mid century classics. Everywhere you look is inspiration and we haven’t even ventured into the garden yet. Unfortunately for us, it is sold but I found it through  Inigo an estate agency for Britain’s most marvellous historic homes, from the team behind The Modern House.

Books and art and books and art!!!! I adore this Upper Est Side apartment belonging to architect Carlos Garciavelez and interior designer David Lawrence of design firm Carlos David. Aside from the books and art they created lots of graphic, impactful elements that I adore in what is a simple layout. Brilliant!

“Hidden in a 18th-century hotel particulier, Charles Zana’s private apartment reveals all its secrets. Coated in a sage green, every room is punctuated with objects and pieces of furniture from eras that have nothing in common. Charles Zana has always liked to intersect various periods. From well-known Italian designers from the post-war era to the spirit of Enlightenment, the French interior designer prefers a subtle luxury and understated lines.”

There is nothing more inspiring than a designer’s own home. Boundaries are pushed, risks taken and discord or beauty or even better both emerge. Orsay, Paris by Charles Zana.
