“Our Wabi-Sabi Cottage reflects the essence of the natural world, prioritizing soft, warm textures inspired by the surroundings. The Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy is expressed through the careful use of color, restrained patterns, and surfaces that emphasize simplicity and imperfection, making this home a serene retreat.”

Yond Interiors design homes rooted in a deep sense of place, balancing form and function through proportion, light, and harmony. With reverence for history, craftsmanship, and bespoke or vintage pieces, each space reflects thoughtful detail and the client’s vision.

This bay-fronted house has a beautiful Georgian facade and a 1960s extension to the rear. We celebrated its quirky patinated walls and wonky wooden floorboards. In all our projects we hand pick antiques, but here we focused on Arts and Crafts furniture, a style that our client loved. We also created bespoke pieces such as the ebonised dining table. This was inspired by an antique piece and was designed to fit the curve of the bay window to ensure it was the best spot to hang out with family and friends. The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
This house has such an uplifting energy about it, and I LOVE that designer Lonika Chande maintained and embraced some of the history. Those living room walls on either side of the fireplace with the peeling wallpaper is really beautiful. Photos: Milo Brown.

This Chelsea High Line apartment by Lucy Harris offers a calm, refined escape above the bustle of the city. Designed as a restful pied-à-terre, the space features a relaxed, open-plan layout enriched with warm tones, curved forms, and soft textures. Lucy and her team introduced custom furnishings and layered botanical wallcoverings to create depth and personality. Defined zones for living, working, and entertaining lend the home a sense of intimacy, sophistication, and effortless comfort.

I love the blend of traditional and contemporary styles in this beautiful Highlands fishing lodge designed by London-based Harriet Sale. Her layered aesthetic incorporates textures, patterns, and pieces with provenance, and really warm and liveable colours that add such a welcoming feel. A lodge with impeccable style.

Built in 1915 and renovated again and again until it was purchased in 2022, deconstructed and renewed by Christina Simon Studio.  The client works in the music industry as well as other industries pertaining to wellness, neurobiology and expanding consciousness.  This property serves as the client’s pied a terre for hosting several industry parties during SXSW and ACL and the design of the home was to reflect and contribute to the fun and ambiance of these events.
I think this meets the 4 word brief of “Austin eclectic hippie vibe”. It’s a dark and moody gentleman’s hangout with a retro, groovy vibe. I really dig this. Photos: Douglas Friedman.
