A treasure trove, a memory chest, the meeting of high drama and the authentic. Rip and shred, collect and find the soul. Welcome to the home of designer Aimee Wertepny of Chicago-based PROjECT. That bedroom will be floating around in my dreams for days to come.

Sophisticated, stylish and masculine this small apartment by St Petersberg-based interior designer Tim Veresnovsky uses a black and white colour palette and clever use of pattern to trick the eye into believing there is so much more space. Honey toned stone and timbers warm the scheme.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it should be somewhere stylish. KTT Showroom (a timber flooring showroom) by Studio Griffiths.

“This abandoned shed in the middle of 18 acres had endless charm and character. We worked with this rustic charm and remote wooded location and juxtaposed it with a clean minimal Scandinavian-inspired design for dramatic effect.”

It’s all about contrast in this gut renovation of a cabin in the woods by Stewart-Schafer, contrast of wild forest and clean, minimalist interiors, of rustic versus modern living, dark versus light. It’s also about unity, of the Douglas fir used inside mirroring the surrounding firs, of a wall of windows bringing inside and out together. I’d happily get lost in the woods if I knew I would stumbled across this charming cabin.
