Robin Heller and Jen Levy are the designers behind Baltimore, MD based firm Surrounded By Color. We like to take whimsical, energetic, maybe-kinda-crazy-seeming ideas and turn them into cozy, lovely, livable spaces that make people happy. 
These ladies rock both at using extensive colour in a space as well as through subtle accents. In both scenarios they create really energized, bright and modern spaces that would last through all the icky trends. And could easily be changed up a bit by swapping out some of the accent art or furnishings.

“The full refurbishment of a four bedroom family home in South London, with an emphasis on period features and vibrant, bold colours. Creating spaces to house an eclectic art collection and a love of antique furniture paired with custom upholstery in rich, patterned fabrics.”

This home (originally designed in the 1960s by legendary local architect, Alex Riley) sits above Tomales Bay in California’s Marin County. Transformed by Commune Design the focus is on colour, pattern and handcrafted details. Limewashed walls, refinished wood panelling and painted trim bring warmth and texture, while bold patterns and vibrant hues add personality to every room. Bespoke furnishings and artisan-crafted pieces, including an ornamental glass tile fireplace and custom light fixtures, have been integrated seamlessly into the design. The result is a harmonious blend of West Marin charm and Scandinavian-inspired vibrancy, with layers of character and thoughtful details throughout.

The restoration of a 1930s Georgian Revival residence in Melbourne by Fiona Lynch Office celebrates craftsmanship and timeless design. Decades of discordant changes were removed to restore clarity while preserving original decorative features like fireplace mantels and elegant arches with corbels. A new glass pavilion radically transforms family living, connecting the kitchen to the woodland garden and filling the home with natural light. Bold stone elements define remodelled bathrooms and a robust travertine-marble kitchen island. The design integrates original features with contemporary updates, including custom oak finishes, mismatched stone panels and sculptural staircases, creating a seamless balance between classic elegance and modern living.

Toronto designer Ashley Montgomery continues to sweep me off my feet with her casual, earthy, eclectic, cozy projects and this new one, Mountain Home in Collingwood, Ontario is an absolute beauty. That kitchen is giving me all the feels and going into my inspiration folder. Photos: Lauren Miller.
