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

“Architecturally full of character and quirk, this home came with its creative challenges! We chose to paint the concrete floors, brick accents, and salvaged material expressed throughout the home almost all the same color to invoke a visual cohesiveness – and added only a touch of tonal blue and a little bit of wallpaper in two of the spaces. We leaned into the eclectic feel of the home by mixing genres and styles of antiques throughout each room. While much of the furnishings lean neutral, the art and curiosity collections take center stage with their boldness.”

This 1850s federal-style brownstone in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston is already as cute as can be, but Nina Farmer got her hands on it and added some really bold colours, sheen and patterns and upped the personality factor by 1000%. I am adding so many photos of this project to my inspiration folder, but particularly of the kitchen. I am soooo tired of boring and bland kitchens and this one could not be further from that.
