It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s somewhere stylish. Casa Arca by Maye Estudio.

Arkansas-based Meet West Studio revived a 1970s lakeside cottage through a complete gut remodel, restoring its vintage charm with luxury finishes to create a boutique short-term rental. Inspired by a 1970s Laurel Canyon cottage, the studio used vintage furniture, handmade tiles, natural stone, and rich, earthy textiles. New patio doors and windows enhanced natural light and views. Deep, earthy tones in bedrooms and bathrooms, along with eclectic 70s decor, added a laid-back luxury vibe.

Inside this Tudor-style home on the outskirts of Antwerp, Belgium, a richly layered scheme with roots in traditional English decoration which confidently straddles the tricky balance between lavish and liveable. “The resulting look, with its sense of whimsy and occasional eccentric touches, is calm, never chaotic, and has the easy charm of a home that has gently evolved over time.”
How could you not be smiling ear to ear upon entering this home? This is so fabulously maximalist, and I know some of you might be immediately thinking this is too much, but you have to appreciate designer Stephanie Barba Mendoza‘s unique and creative vision and her ballsy approach with the decor.

Brisbane-based Langlois Design‘s brief was to transform the existing residence, giving the architecture a modern lift, and seamlessly blending the clients’ styles. Emphasizing clean lines and layered textures, the home has become a vibrant oasis. The renovation focused on the kitchen, opening up space for better flow and incorporating a round, tiered island bench for functionality. The kitchen’s finishes reflected the clients’ personalities with organic shapes, olive green and teak joinery, terrazzo, mosaic tiles and modern tapware, creating an energizing yet homey atmosphere.

Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.
