The Locust Valley, Long Island home of designer Alfredo Paredes is an absolute beauty. Built in 1929 and filled with original architecture, it has Ralph Lauren vibes (he was Chief Creative Officer for Ralph Lauren Home for 33 years) and despite being a mansion, is as cozy as can be. That great room with wood-clad barrel vaulted ceiling is soooo dreamy. Timeless with a touch of elegance alongside a touch of ranch. Photos: Noe DeWitt.
Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.

Eat.bathe.live transformed this North Carlton, Melbourne terrace house by blending eclectic contemporary styling with traditional elements. Bold patterns, rich colors and varied textures accentuate its unique features. An exposed brick wall anchors the home’s history, complemented by earthy tones, fluted benchtops and distressed leather furnishings. Prioritizing functional living, the design highlights intricate tilework and modernist influences, creating a warm, character-filled family home.

Inspired by the relaxed elegance of Milan, this inner-city apartment’s kitchen renovation by A.mi reimagines a poorly planned, hidden space dominated by a large structural column. The client’s vision for La Cucina was to create an inviting, theatrical chef’s kitchen that seamlessly connects with the dining area. A striking trumpeted island bench was designed to integrate the column, serving as a central gathering spot where guests can sit, stand and engage with the chef or fellow diners.
