I am completely head over heels in love with this home on 27 acres along the banks of South Carolina’s Kiawah River, designed by architect Stanley Dixon and designer Tammy Connor. The owners of the land wanted the home to connect to nature and have a strong sense of history. I adore how it appears to have been added over time with connected buildings. The interior is spectacular – there’s somewhat of an ethereal quality in some of the spaces and materials such as lime-washed brick, heart pine flooring in 12-inch-wide planks, plaster walls, painted trim help tell the story.

Howark is a small, dedicated team that values collaboration and thoughtful design. For this full renovation, they crafted bespoke furnishings to complement the client’s beloved artworks and antiques, creating a home that feels both cosmopolitan and cosy. Every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a space that is not only beautiful but also deeply personal and reflective of the client’s lifestyle.

Studio Shamshiri’s Charles Street project in New York’s West Village was designed for a theater-loving client who wanted a home that felt both personal and expressive. Inspired by the neighborhood’s rich bohemian history, the team restored original 1866 details and added thoughtful, artistic layers throughout. Plaster ceiling reliefs, a sculptural bronze mirror and hand-painted murals bring depth and character to the space. The kitchen offers a quiet retreat opening to a peaceful garden. The home embraces a bold, bohemian spirit that resists today’s more muted design trends.

When the homeower of this Central Park West apartment called upon designer Fawn Galli to create a family home here, she wanted it to be light, fun and eclectic, with a bit of old-world, and lots of character to the furnishings. That is right up Fawn’s alley, as her spaces are typically pretty unique and full of life. I adore the quirkiness she added here, as if the homeowner had spent years collecting containers-full of the coolest stuff found at Paris flea markets. Photos: Marili Forastieri.

Stella Weatherall is a London-based interior design studio, founded in 2021. Our eclectic style and love of antique textiles is influenced by Stella’s childhood in Hong Kong, extensive travels in the Far East and a love and appreciation for all things Italian. We draw upon inspiration from across the globe and enjoy mixing styles, antiques and art to create decorative, unique interiors that tell our clients’ story.
A discernible love of pattern and maximalism (particularly when it comes to layering artwork on the walls), which imbues such a level of coziness and homeliness.
