Minimalist, modern living within a historic shell. Beautiful traditional tiles flow throughout the apartment defining and grounding each zone while contemporary furniture pieces sit on, almost apart, from the busy patterns. A holiday home for an English family by Barcelona-based Spanish-German architectural and interior design firm YLAB Arquitectos. Elegant and comfortable.

Timeless and well-edited, warm and functional with a beautiful muted colour palette, the standout feature of this house by Dana Wolter Interiors to me is the rich and tactile layering of the textiles. It’s stylish and elegant yet casual and comfortable like a fine cashmere sweater.

Carefully and beautifully curated rooms that are minimalist but not at all sterile. Subtle variations in colour and texture. Elegant and intentional. The hallmark of great Scandinavian design and the signature of Stockholm-based Liljencrantz Design.

In another life I live in this fabulous house in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. In another life that imposing living room with its Hans Wegner chaise and Serge Mouille lighting is mine. The chandeliers, the vintage finds, the deeply moody wood panelled den, the extravagant bathroom and that garden room, oh that garden room. In real life it belongs to Brigette Romanek who, along with Estee Stanley, is the creative force behind Hancock Design.

Can a family home be seriously sexy? It can if it belongs to interior designer and owner of interiors boutique Pieces, Lee Kleinhelter. Oh my! Sleek contemporary lines with more than a nod to its historical suburb and all with the glamorous, sophisticated vintage vibe that Atlanta, Georgia based Kleinhelter does so well.
