This handsome London townhouse has been fully redesigned by Emma Ainscough to create a layered, characterful home tailored to the needs of a young family. Original architectural details were carefully restored, including period joinery and decorative features in the entrance hall. A refined yet playful palette runs throughout, with bold colour accents, antique lighting and textured finishes adding softness and personality. The children’s spaces are whimsical and adaptable, while the primary suite offers calm and balance. Across all floors, thoughtful layouts, clever storage and bespoke furnishings bring together comfort, practicality and a sense of quiet charm.

In addition to refurnishing the house, we also undertook an extensive renovation; adding a standalone three-car garage and converting the existing attached garage into a mudroom, a laundry room, a paneled-wood family room, and an expanded kitchen. Our clients, who had inherited an impressive art collection of primarily Calders, Miros, and Picassos, described their style as ‘East Coast preppy,’ and so we accepted the challenge of marrying that aesthetic with the bold, primary colors and forms of the iconic modern artworks. We developed an interior color and material palette in the reds, blues, yellows, blacks and whites of the art, but with each of those colors softened and muted. The result is a house that feels right for the art, right for the clients, and right for the house.
Jessica Helgerson does it again, creating some vintage magic in this beautiful home but somehow managing to work in this modern art collection and have everything make sense. I love how cohesive it all is by using those primary colours throughout (though in very manageable shades). Photos: Aaron Leitz.

After years of neglect and poorly conceived remodels, a 1920s residence in New Jersey’s pastoral Horse Country required a full gut. The interior was conceived to be true to the home’s original period but mindful of modern lifestyles. This involved designing all of the interior architecture including moldings, fireplaces, baths and kitchen, even relocating a staircase. The home was then outfitted with comfortable furnishings in keeping with its country setting.
Horse country? I’m already won over. This home though is the icing on the cake in a setting like that, with it’s casual sophistication and touches of elegance and at the same time utilitarianism. Is there a doorway that fits a horse though…. Design: Michael Aiduss Studio; Photos: Ellen McDermott; Styling: Anthony Santelli.

This spacious Louisiana lake house by TIEK BYDAY was designed as a welcoming haven for an extended family, comfortably sleeping 32 across ten bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Rooted in traditional Acadian architecture, the home features generous communal areas, a large kitchen and a refined bar, all oriented toward lake-view porches for easy indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully layered with cozy nooks, alcove beds and deep seating, the design balances grandeur with warmth, making it perfect for gathering, relaxing and entertaining.
