Interior designer Alexandra Boussagol designed this Paris pied-à-terre located in a hôtel particulier for her art collector client and I love the warmth and dramatic elements. To make this apartment contemporary, the architect Alexandra BOUSSAGOL evolved around three axes: the curve, the use of  sophisticated wood and noble stones – to design custom furniture and create certain coverings –, and the color – worked from ad hoc manner, chosen according to its intensity in order to counterbalance the whiteness of the walls. The monumental doors, hand-crafted from wenge-tinted wood, welcome visitors into a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The original oak banister retains its charm, while the marquetry parquet flooringarranged in a reflective rosette, captures and diffuses the light, illuminating every corner with subtle elegance.

It’s like I save week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Gridiron Building by Daytrip.

Timeless 1744 home in Connecticut

Posted on Mon, 29 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

What can this man not do? Fashion designer, television host and interior designer Christian Siriano of Siriano Interiors has brought this 1744 Connecticut home to life with colour and vintage and antique pieces. Timeless, stylish and a standout.

“I want no white walls.” With those five words, Kati Curtis Design had its Tudor home interior design directive and began the process of gathering ideas + inspiration. Since we’re known as the go-to interior designers for color and pattern, those words also served as confirmation that we and our client were perfectly in synch. With that, a happy collaboration took off in this “Millennial Gothic” home, a modern take on the house’s original Tudor interior design style.
There is a lot going on in this home and I know now everyone could live with so much going on but I had to share for those that dream of having this much colour and pattern (and glossy finishes) in their lives. Life’s too short to not go for it, right?

A designer’s Victorian terraced home in Bath

Posted on Wed, 10 Jan 2024 by KiM

Sean Symington‘s personal residence is a sophisticated and intricately designed house, serving as a direct embodiment of his unique design sensibilities and personal aesthetic. With dedicated effort, Sean and his team painstakingly revitalised this Victorian Terraced house in the heart of Bath, fashioning it into a distinctive and personality-infused property that stands as a genuine testament to the design firm’s proficiency in restoration and interior architecture. Once we obtained the property, Sean and his team embarked on the challenging task of transforming this former student rental house into a distinct and inviting family home, which would also serve as a showcase for our firm’s capabilities. We adorned each room with exquisite fabrics and wallpapers, crafting eclectic and refined interior designs.
This is about as quaint and quintessentially English as it gets. And includes one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve seen.
