It has been several years since we featured the work of Toronto-based designer Anne Hepfer (here and here). Her signature style of layering palettes of colour and contrast and luxurious finishes is still very much apparent. Such gorgeous spaces.

Lorenzo Castillo is an antiques dealer and interior designer from Madrid and I think he’s my new hero. Jo featured his caramel/black/white home back in 2015 here. I was recently on his website and found another iteration of his home, as seen in this first group of photos. When doing some googling to learn more about his home I found this article in Elle Decor featuring more of his home (yet another earlier iteration?) from 2012 (with photos by Simon Upton), which below are the second set of photos. In any case, I am completely smitten with all of the colours, patterns, layers, textures, styles. It is an eclectic lovers bible on how to nail maximalism.

A cool oasis, a retreat from the heat and bustle of the Madrid calles. Filtered light through floaty fabric, coffered ceilings and archways washed in white. Monochrome splashed with rich oriental blue. Sophisticated and welcoming. Conde de Aranda by Madrid-based Estudio Maria Santos.

Luxurious and liveable. Antiques coexisting with contemporary pieces. Tailored and sculptural. These are the spaces of New York designer Robert Passal.

This Paris home is brimming with elegance, sophistication and a little funk. The bathroom alone is worth its weight in gold…or purple marble. It’s so OTT fabulous. By French architects and interior designers Daniel and Michel Bismut.
