Katie’s team was tasked with decorating this layered home, previously a charming bed and breakfast nestled in the West Seattle neighborhood overlooking the serene Puget Sound. Working alongside the homeowner, photographer Deb Achak, color, texture, and pattern come together to highlight and expand on the home’s existing architectural details and historical nods.

Rose Uniacke is the doyenne of understated, elegant design. Her 1860s mansion in London’s Pimlico neighborhood is everything she exudes in her designs. It is stately, exquisitely minimal, poetic, intentional, restrained and absolute perfection.
“I fell for this house years before we bought it. There was a magic. But it was too large, too damaged and most definitely too big a project. My husband, David and I walked away; it would be madness to take it on. But it never left me. I often thought about how I might tame it’s space, just enough to become liveable. Three years later, it was still there. Nobody else would touch it, and we took the plunge.” Photos: François Halard

“The 1930’s Cape had undergone multiple renovations throughout the years by its previous visionary and eclectic owners. ERA chose to preserve and retain the layout and spirit of the house. Mechanicals were updated, all windows were replaced and the summer retreat was transformed into a year-round space for creativity and collaboration. A dilapidated entry volume was rebuilt and furnishings were chosen to enhance the open and airy environment. The palette of the architecture, including painted floors, wood clad columns, and fresh white baths, was combined with a mix of new and old furniture, melding different eras and materials to create a unique space that feels as though it is from no particular era.”

“At hsd, we believe a well-designed space should elevate one’s soul; it should transport, inspire and create fond memories. We set the stage to orchestrate our clients’ dream story.”

Nestled amidst the iconic streets of Paris’ 16th arrondissement, this sophisticated apartment by Caroline Andréoni captures the essence of French luxury living. The open plan layout seamlessly blends the living and dining areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interior in natural light while carefully restored wood panelling warms the space. A contemporary gourmet kitchen continues the wood accent while the use of marble here and in the master ensuite suite heightens the sense of opulence.
