Interior designer Marta de La Rica calls it a taste of calm where traditional meets contemporary. This Madrid apartment is an ode to beauty with an emphasis on colour, texture, fabrics and craft. The painted walls and chandelier in the living room bring a sense of whimsy as does the shell-encrusted bathroom vanity. Chic European living but with Spanish roots.

It was a gut demolition and reimagining of this São Paulo apartment by Memola Estúdio that created expansive open-plan social spaces with killer views. Wooden floors warm the brutalist concrete shell while white walls bounce the light into the apartment and provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection. New and old furniture pieces share the neutral tones of the finishes with the “new color palette inspired by the autumn tones of the sunset that appears on the horizon.”

Traditional and yet edgy and young. Think mid-century scandi meets quintessential English cottage. What a great mix for this Bridgehampton home by Augusta Hoffman Studio for a couple who wanted it all.

So chic, so sophisticated, so French. A modern with mid-century take on the Haussmannian style with its mix of French tradition and style with vintage furniture, exclusive 20th-century antiques and bespoke furniture. Luxembourg Gardens by Argentine-trained Paris-based architect Luis Laplace.

Pinch me. Is it real? A 300-year-old house in Connecticut lovingly brought to life by New York-based interior designer Ryan Lawson. This is no gut demo and stuff in everything new. No this is the careful reworking of the spaces so modern conveniences are provided but layers of the owner’s life and the history of the house shine through.
