The villa’s exterior belies its stunning interior transformation. Once an unassuming 1960s structure, it now shines as a bright, cohesive family home. The layout was reimagined to maximize light and garden views, focusing on opening up living areas and creating a chef-worthy kitchen. Large windows and doors connect indoors with outdoors bringing light into previously dim spaces. A muted palette and natural materials complement the client’s collections, enhancing rather than overpowering the design while custom touches like terracotta tiles and bespoke joinery.

Brooklyn-based interior studio Jesse Parris-Lamb grounded this grand Park Slope Brownstone with an earthy colour palette of rich browns. Add a carefully curated mix of contemporary, vintage and bespoke furniture and the result is modern luxury living with deference to the building’s past.

This is proof you can never have too many colours and patterns (as long as they are similar in tones) and it together it makes a home so cozy and inviting and is complete eye candy. I adore this Kensington family home designed by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler.

I had to share another Shoot Factory location home with you (this one is a Georgian 3 bedroom 1 bathroom in London) because this also tugs at my heartstrings for being so effortlessly casual and cool, with a basic vintage vibe and not being so “trendy” like the previous one. And I would have been completely sold upon walking through the front door, turning around and seeing that yellow painted landscape. Sooooo pretty!

The Sauvie Island River House project by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design saw a comprehensive overhaul of a house’s interior and exterior slated initially for demolition. Dating back to the 1970s and having undergone poorly executed remodels over time, the core structure held promise in the eyes of the design team. Their approach focused on reimagining the flow within the house to achieve simplicity and clarity. The long great room was partitioned into distinct kitchen and living areas, cleverly connected by a two-sided fireplace clad in earthy glazed brick. Responding to the clients’ request for warmth and lively hues, the walls were adorned with douglas fir panelling, paint and wallpaper in a recurring palette of terra cotta, mustard, teal and blue reminiscent of the house’s original era.
