This handsome London townhouse has been fully redesigned by Emma Ainscough to create a layered, characterful home tailored to the needs of a young family. Original architectural details were carefully restored, including period joinery and decorative features in the entrance hall. A refined yet playful palette runs throughout, with bold colour accents, antique lighting and textured finishes adding softness and personality. The children’s spaces are whimsical and adaptable, while the primary suite offers calm and balance. Across all floors, thoughtful layouts, clever storage and bespoke furnishings bring together comfort, practicality and a sense of quiet charm.

In addition to refurnishing the house, we also undertook an extensive renovation; adding a standalone three-car garage and converting the existing attached garage into a mudroom, a laundry room, a paneled-wood family room, and an expanded kitchen. Our clients, who had inherited an impressive art collection of primarily Calders, Miros, and Picassos, described their style as ‘East Coast preppy,’ and so we accepted the challenge of marrying that aesthetic with the bold, primary colors and forms of the iconic modern artworks. We developed an interior color and material palette in the reds, blues, yellows, blacks and whites of the art, but with each of those colors softened and muted. The result is a house that feels right for the art, right for the clients, and right for the house.
Jessica Helgerson does it again, creating some vintage magic in this beautiful home but somehow managing to work in this modern art collection and have everything make sense. I love how cohesive it all is by using those primary colours throughout (though in very manageable shades). Photos: Aaron Leitz.

In this 217 m² Parisian apartment, Heju reinterpreted Haussmannian tradition with bold forms and organic design. A sweeping built-in unit runs through the space, shifting from entry storage to bookshelf, kitchen cabinetry, and even hiding the master suite entrance. Nordic elements appear in the Douglas pine and Calacatta Viola marble kitchen, while soft arches and curved volumes shape the guest room and bathrooms. The main suite offers a calming palette, sculptural detailing and a sense of playful elegance.

Lauren Stern Design undertook a full renovation of this Greek Revival townhouse in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, transforming three apartments into one cohesive family home. Known for their artful, individualistic touch, the studio paired hand-painted wallcoverings and sculptural antiques with modern furnishings. The result is a richly layered and practical interior tailored to the needs of a young, energetic family while honoring the home’s historic character.

This spacious Louisiana lake house by TIEK BYDAY was designed as a welcoming haven for an extended family, comfortably sleeping 32 across ten bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Rooted in traditional Acadian architecture, the home features generous communal areas, a large kitchen and a refined bar, all oriented toward lake-view porches for easy indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully layered with cozy nooks, alcove beds and deep seating, the design balances grandeur with warmth, making it perfect for gathering, relaxing and entertaining.
