Giancarlo Valle of the eponymous Studio Giancarlo Valle is arguably one of our favourite designers. A strong design aesthetic, an assured use of colour, a wonderful sense of light and shade, space and void. This Soho Townhouse has been taken from bland and boring new build to a home full of colour and character, style and daring.

“This old-world-meets-five-star-hotel bathroom renovation is perfect amounts soothing and stunning. Inspired by a stay in a floor to ceiling plaster covered Grecian villa, we took our client’s request for a blush bathroom and tweaked it to read more like a neutral terracotta as to not overwhelm the senses. We chose a floor pattern with a nod to old world Europe but with a modern geometric twist. With all the attention on the floors and walls, we kept it very simple for the vanity and added just a little pop of color to the vanity.”
Beautiful, beautiful blush in a bathroom engaging all the senses. A sanctuary from the day’s bluster and bother. Spa bath by Journey and Jacobs.

Austin in Stereo is a 7,300 sq ft, 4 bedroom home in West Austin where nearly every room of the house was designed by Fern Santini with a unique art or music-themed element. A bar, turntable, Sonos speakers, signed photos of music legends, Woodstock wallpaper, lots of dark walls and graphic patterns make this a really stylin’ and party-ready home.

An oasis of calm in the party, party, party atmosphere of Ibiza. Restrained in it colour and material palette, moody and minimalist. Smooth, clean lined with break outs of texture. Ah the luxury of living this lean. Forest Estate by Hollie Bowden.
Up under the eaves with it’s old architectural bones on display is a light, bright Parisian apartment with a modern vibe. Think pops of vibrant blue plucked from a painting, a galley kitchen with stunning stone and storage, storage everywhere. Contemporary French living by Atelier DAAA.
