“Smart. Vivacious. Stunning. Timeless. These are the hallmarks of an Angie Hranowsky interior. Since publishing her first project in 2004, the Charleston-based designer has built an impeccable reputation for brilliant, intuitive designs that weave together the grace and elegance of her adopted hometown with rich layers of cosmopolitan sophistication, historical influences, and fine craftsmanship.”

I just want to add one more word … FABULOUS.

I am completely smitten with this 8,300 sq ft 1950s farmhouse in Westchester, New York designed by Sally Rigg of Rigg Design. Bold colour choices slap you in the face as soon as you walk in the front door – Ressource Paints’ La Pinède green on the walls paired with scenic Zuber wallpaper, then a dining room in a blue as blue can be (Farrow & Ball’s Dinnerware), which leads into a curry yellow butler’s pantry. The colours come at you again in the primary bedroom with a gorgeous de Gournay wall covering. I love that there are rooms of total drama and colour drenching but then some moments of calm with mostly white spaces. It makes the colourful rooms that much more impactful.

A sprawling private estate located in the Hollywood Hills. Every design detail from the earthy, understated finishes, to the highly textured neutral palette was meant to create a timeless impression that celebrates the property’s majestic panoramic views.
Give me all the old rustic wood and linen slipcovered sofas! A bit more neutral than I could probably live with but when work life is chaotic, this would be as serene as can be to come home to. By Balton Design.

We restored a largely intact Victorian house, paying special attention to its rich history. The interior decoration reflects how the house might have been decorated at the time of its construction, featuring damask and chinoiserie wallcoverings, as well as antique furniture from various European aesthetic movements. Colorful Saint-Louis crystal chandeliers evoke the period’s grandeur. To introduce a modern edge, we incorporated moody tones, an intense shade of black, and some high-gloss finishes, blending past with present.
Designer Billy Cotton is a man after my heart. This home is soooo exquisitely restored and such an exceptional example of blending Victorian lavishness with contemporary refinement. I might have teared up a bit when I found these photos. Homes like this move me like no others can. Photos: Brett Wood.
