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.

“He redefines a free modernity that isn’t opposed to the past but rather incorporates historical references, a discrete ambience and a taste for the intimate while also being daring with bold combinations and through the imaginative use of light and space. Casiraghi delights in overturning the codes of interior design with surprising contrasts: neon light with ancient mirrors, precious fabrics with industrial resin, and antique furniture with extravagant plant displays, always with a seductive harmony and an invitation to travel, sometimes calm, sometimes exotic.”

It’s a marriage of timeless classicism and modernity, a respect for the past with an exploration of the new. A cursory glance and you think “Ah yes a lovely traditional Parisian apartment” but look more closely and you’ll see the twist. It’s like adding spice to the dish. Apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris by Fabrizio Casiraghi.

It’s not often I would call a minimalist scheme sensuous and dramatic. What typically springs to mind is cold and stark but in this Toorak house by Melbourne-based interior design firm Larritt-Evans the simple lines are enhanced by luxurious fabrics and sinuous lines. Those dark blue drapes are like looking into a midnight sky while the sweep of the staircase is more theatre than a means of transitioning a space.

“Curiosity and experimentation are two fundamental principles directing the studio’s approach to shape, texture and color, while always unifying spacial constraints to give birth to unique environments.”

Yes it’s true Paris-based interior design firm Batiik Studio are curious and experimental in their approach to the rooms they create but that doesn’t mean their work is slapdash and half baked. It’s the fine details that stand out for me here. The pattern in the concrete floor, the waves in wood and concrete in the bedrooms and the way they meet other surfaces, the lighting, the shelving, the table. I could go on and on. It’s all in the details.
