Fiona Duke Interiors transformed this Edwardian family home in Essex through a complete reconfiguration and extension of both floors. The design blends modern and vintage elements to create an elegant yet relaxed aesthetic that feels effortless. With a focus on authenticity and livability, the space was fully modernised and thoughtfully planned throughout, reflecting the studio’s belief that great interior design can positively impact how people feel in their homes.

Designers’ own

GACHOT blends timeless craftsmanship with modern technology, creating designs marked by elegance, simplicity, and meticulous detail. The Sutton Place Residence, the Gachot family’s uptown apartment, exemplifies this approach. Contemporary elements—bold art and sculptural furniture—complement the classic Pre-War architecture. The result is a sophisticated space that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition. Balancing warmth with modernity, GACHOT’s design honors the building’s historic charm while meeting the functional needs of everyday life.

This apartment on Warren Street, NY is located on the 21st floor of a glass skyscraper is bold, vibrant, artsy, playful and was designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard with the homeowner’s colour-blindness in mind – he can see pure, bright colours like blues, reds and yellow. Hence the use of some blue and red throughout. The living room wall shelving is a major red statement, and the bathtub rendered in Yves Klein Blue set into a curved nook is a really cool situation that makes me want to tub-lounge. Speaking of statements, the semi-circular brushed stainless steel islands are such a cool focal point. So much uniqueness here. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

A spicy Parisian jewel box

Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!!

A new classic

Posted on Tue, 13 May 2025 by midcenturyjo

Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.
