A perfect blend of sophistication and comfort, casual and neutral, minimal and modern. Complete with sunken sofa conversation pit in the living room that I am head over heals in love with. Designed by Handelsmann & Khaw. Photos: Felix Forest.

This 1800s Grand Victorian mansion in Mosman, Sydney, once divided into three disordered apartments, has been lovingly restored into a family home while honouring its historic grandeur. Inspired by traditional North American coastal architecture, the design reflects the clients’ admiration for this timeless style. The interiors were revitalized with textural mouldings, wainscoting, and luxurious finishes while preserving original features like leadlight windows and stone fireplaces. A casual side entrance leads to a functional mudroom and laundry, while the reimagined foyer impresses guests. The open-plan ground floor includes a sunlit kitchen with Shaker-style joinery, a spacious dining area, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections for hosting unforgettable gatherings.

This 1820s Creole cottage compound in New Orleans’ French Quarter has been transformed by Young Projects, an architecture and design firm based in New York City. The property features a main house with a classic four-square layout and a carriage house. The interiors are thoughtfully curated with the primary rooms—bar, music room, salon, and dining room—each showcasing distinct colours, finishes, materials and furnishings. Custom gold leaf doorways connect these spaces creating seamless yet dramatic transitions. The property also includes a tranquil walled courtyard with a swimming pool and old-growth trees enhancing its blend of historic charm and modern sophistication.

Life is too short to not drench your home in as much drama as you can stand. Boring is for the weak. Sees Design went all out in this Highland Park project in Dallas ,TX. It’s full on drama with wallpaper and murals and the prettiest of colours. Gorgeous!!! Architect: Briggs Architecture & Design; Photos: Douglas Friedman; Styling: Jenny O’Connor.

A newly constructed home in Iowa but made to look like it holds some history. And like it’s actually located in the Cotswolds. So easy on the eyes, and some dark drama where it easily works (like utility type rooms and office). Soft and serene, cozy and casual. Designed by Oho Interiors. Photos: Judith Marilyn.
