I lose my marbles over every project that Hubert Zandberg gets his paws on. And this one which is a bit more traditional than most of his work is glorious, and perfect in a Tuscan setting. Villa Medane – An exclusive Tuscan villa and estate located in the dramatic hilly countryside outside Siena, a second home for one of our returning clients. The design concept was to create a comfortable retreat that references the centuries old rich history of the area and at the same time incorporates these with a curated mix of both vintage and contemporary elements and found pieces, for contemporary living.

The dreamiest wall of built-in bookcases, mid-century vibes and accents in what you might say is Bachman Brown‘s signature colour of blue make this Greenwich Village apartment cozy and cohesive. I also really love the ochre shade of the bedroom walls.

I have admitted I am not a fan of white trim, so when I see designers take a creative approach with trim I will sing their praises. I love what NYC designer Bachman Brown did in this Fifth Avenue duplex, where much of the colour is in the trim and door frames and fireplace and bookshelf wall and the rest is left neutral to highlight the art and furnishings.

I am always on board with spaces that have unique colour combinations and where there is not a lot of white trim and ceilings. Designer Nicola Harding hit the nail on the head with this modernized country house in Berkshire, England. This generous Georgian country house has been completely re-energised for family living. On the ground floor, entranceways and connecting spaces are painted in vibrant blues and greens. Living spaces – and the vast garden room – are bathed in natural light and filled with soft furnishings and found pieces that have been arranged in the centre of each room to create a feeling of intimacy. Upstairs, soft greys, soothing pinks and pale blues are teamed with patterned textiles that have banished any sense of stuffiness from this handsome home.

Michelle Kelly is at it again with her penchant for colour and pattern. She has modernized this classic Victorian terrace home and made it family friendly and cozy. The hand-brushed brass kitchen cabinets are fabulous!!!
