“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.”

Through this project, THDP’s desire is to create the perfect haven for the curious travelers that want to dive deep into the secrets of one of the most fascinating cities in the world. By restoring these apartments, THDP have created a luxury space to live when visiting Rome; a serene yet enchanting space to unwind after long days of exploring. The three places of intervention are distributed in 3 areas that differ from each other for history and day/night life. The first one (third below), Trastevere is a Young Rome, famous for its nightlife, especially outdoors. The alleys, the fountains, and the clothes hanging outside frame a fresh, sparkling and vital life, and here magic is born. The second one is the monumental Ancient Rome, situated really close to the Colosseum and watershed between 3 of the seven hills, Esquilino, Colle Oppio and Celio. The third one (first below) is Noble Rome, the Rome of palaces, antique dealers and art galleries. An elegant Rome that, when viewed from the windows and terraces, opens up the perspectives to an exclusive and opulent dimension.
If I had a month to be able to travel, and the destination be Rome, how I would loooooove to stay in one of these 27 luxury short term rental apartments. They are the perfect blend of minimal furnishings, doses of colour and modern vibes to make you feel like the coolest person chillin’ in Italy.

Albany House by Sydney-based Carla Barton blends old-world charm with modern living for a young family. The restoration introduces bold black, white, and gold accents, creating a youthful vibe. A clear distinction between the original terrace and the new rear extension is emphasized, while eclectic pieces connect the two styles. Meticulous restoration preserved Victorian elements like skirtings, architraves, wall mouldings, and cornices, achieving a look honouring the home’s original aesthetic.

This Paddington Residence by Sydney-based Alena Smith Interior Design blends family memories with modern needs over a three-level Victorian terrace. Respecting its intergenerational stories, the redesign introduces calm, light-filled spaces. Sustainable features like acoustic glazing, solar panels, and non-toxic materials enhance wellness. Interiors balance heritage with contemporary styles, maintaining Victorian details and incorporating earthy, textured finishes. The result is a serene, luxurious space for future generations, reflecting both traditional and modern family lifestyles.

This warm, tranquil home features ancient stone, reclaimed wood floors and richly coloured tiles complemented by opulent wallpaper and antique lighting. Bespoke cabinetry maximizes space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, nursery shelves, and bedroom wardrobes. The full renovation of this compact Victorian house revealed stunning period details by removing false walls and boxed-in fireplaces. Precision planning included new electrics, plumbing, and fixtures, creating a cohesive layout that reflects the owners’ personalities. The Victorian Renovation by Emily Dobbs Interiors.
