I had to share another urban oasis by Stefano Dorata. All of the details such as the art, lighting and muted colour palette really come together to create a chic, polished aura. It is refined, yet liveable.

An apartment in Rome in the Piazza di Spagna, with an interior that is classic, urban, and sophisticated, a perfect foil to the incredible scenery beyond the windows. With so much history and architecture within view, the black and white colour palette was a brilliant choice to avoid becoming a distraction. Designed by architect and designer Stefano Dorata.

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.

Brian Paquette is a favourite designer of ours and we’ve featured his work on here many times in the past. I found out recently that he launched his first book last month which I’m excited to get my hands on. And with that, I am sharing some of his recent spaces because they are always classic, and so very easy on the eye.

This Los Angeles Tudor home has a dramatic light and dark situation going on, with most of the spaces having a nordic/scandi pale wood and lots of white and neutrals going on, and then the kitchen takes a 180 degree turn and has several black elements. I love that unexpected pairing, especially when most people would go white in a kitchen (BORING!). Another fab space designed by Freudenberger Design Studio.
