A Spanish villa located in a pine forest in Valakampiai a district in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius.  Not quite what you are expecting?  Interior designers Gabija Pažarskytė and Karolina Juodeškaitė of Dizaino Virtuvė have been inspired by the Mediterranean for this four storey house nestled amongst the trees. A materials palette of  concrete, rattan, stone and ceramics recalls Spain while for me the standout features are the cast iron tiles and statement blue spiral staircase rising from the foyer to the first floor. Handcrafted timber beams, a thatch roof, stylish sauna area and the very first squat toilet we have featured on the blog complete the highlights.

Timeless and organic, sophisticated and personal. With her background in art and sculpture Heidi Woodman of Haus Love Interiors takes a painterly approach to her designs, paying attention to form, balance, negative space, colour and texture.

From Florida we’re off to Long Island, to Montauk and another beach house this time by Studio Robert McKinley. A more neutral palette and a distinct mid-century vibe but the same beachy chic. Casual doesn’t mean an absence of style.

This Park Avenue apartment by Julie Hillman is another beautiful example of thoughtful curation. Hillman “feels that every item in a room should be in conversation with one another while maintaining its own significance.” Distinctive, timeless, and unique.

“I am drawn to natural pieces and finishes and artisan craftsmanship, I believe deeply in the integration of old and new, creating a timelessness. Taking into consideration the context and architectural history of a project is essential for my design process. I am forever sourcing antiques and have an eye for extraordinary pieces that might otherwise go unseen or unloved. Moreover, I see myself as a curator of spaces, as much as I do an interior designer.”

Beautiful and calm, collected and chic. Ladbroke Gardens by Hollie Bowden.
