This apartment on Warren Street, NY is located on the 21st floor of a glass skyscraper is bold, vibrant, artsy, playful and was designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard with the homeowner’s colour-blindness in mind – he can see pure, bright colours like blues, reds and yellow. Hence the use of some blue and red throughout. The living room wall shelving is a major red statement, and the bathtub rendered in Yves Klein Blue set into a curved nook is a really cool situation that makes me want to tub-lounge. Speaking of statements, the semi-circular brushed stainless steel islands are such a cool focal point. So much uniqueness here. Photos: Chris Mottalini.
Belén Ferrándiz blends modern and traditional elements to create timeless, elegant and functional interiors. In this project—a restored home in a small town in Spain’s Santander Valley—she preserved original features like stone, shutters and ceiling details, painted white to enhance light. With open spaces, soft tones and a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings, the result is a serene, cozy retreat designed for relaxation and rural charm.
Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!! Designed again by Orsini Daventure. Photos: Amaury Laparra.

A bayside Federation home in Melbourne has been beautifully transformed by interior designer Samantha Eisen. The original red brick facade now wears an aged European-style render, while a rear extension opens onto the garden through a wall of glass framed in soft blue, echoing the warmth of the marble fireplace inside. The old porch has given way to a new kitchen and living area, with arched doors leading to the laundry and scullery. Throughout the home, thoughtful design breathes new life into vintage furniture, while custom touches like an aubergine bathtub and a mosaic-tiled loggia add rich character and charm.
