“We were commissioned to design 11 model apartments for a Lower East Side residential building, One Manhattan Square. Each apartment tells the story of the unique characters who might someday inhabit the space. The apartments were transformed from white walled units into richly layered homes that are inviting to a range of potential residents.”

New York designer Anna Karlin transformed once white boxes into richly layered homes. Here are two of the apartments. The first a colourful and richly patterned home full of contrasts and collected objects. The second a welcoming space for friends and family to gather with soft textures and warm hues.

Los Angeles-based design firm Acker Interiors describes this project as contemporary, with a touch of natural drama. It’s a perfect balancing act between dark and light, luxe (hello stone kitchen) and earthy finishes, inside and out.

The bucolic surrounds and a shingle clad farmhouse silhouette set the stage for this modern take on a holiday shack but don’t be fooled. For all its relaxed simplicity this getaway on Shelter Island is a sophisticated and chic family home. By Brooklyn-based Workstead.

Let’s start the weekend with a little riot … of colour and pattern that is. Don’t let those beige rendered walls fool you. It’s all about floral wallpaper, Indian block print, vibrant suzani and bold stripes in this Madrid apartment by Marta de la Rica. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
