A warm wind stirs, the cicadas sing, the sun moves lazily across the rooms. Shadow and light, natural materials and a sense of a long, languid presence. We’re in Sydney but it’s the Mediterranean we dreaming of. A casual unaffected elegance. Wilkinson Villa by Handelsmann & Khaw.

Nina Farmer‘s design philosophy is rooted in a classical sensibility with a mixture of furniture and accessories from different periods. It says so on her website. This Westport house mixes that classical sensibility with mid-century chops and just a touch of rock star glam. The result is unexpected, elegant, inviting and timeless.

From light-filled and open to moody and contained, from clean-lined to layered with texture and pattern, from contemporary to new Mediterranean this Rancho Santa Fe, California home is all about restrained luxury and casual sophistication. A calm oasis in a busy family’s life by Intimate Living Interiors.

This Saint Antoine apartment by Paris-based architectural firm Heju combines a former carpentry workshop and a storage attic above. Open plan living areas on the lower floor are linked to the sleeping areas above by a sculptural metal staircase suspended above the kitchen. By reducing the staircase form to its barest minimum and highlighting the void it becomes lightweight almost like a piece of paper floating in the air.

I love a loft conversion. The expansive space, the light through large windows, the references to its previous industrial life. Add a subtle family-friendly luxury and it’s perfect for 21st living. Factory Loft, Brooklyn by Chused & Co
