Designer Claire Staszak of Centered by Design coins this Chicago townhouse “east coast meets west coast”. It has an air of sophistication yet a sense of calm and comfort and a lovely mix of antiques and pretty wallpapers added here and there. I am totally smitten with the dark and moody library/music room and that stunning green (Benjamin Moore’s Vineland). Photos: Taylor Hall O’Brien.

Lilse McKenna brought a refined balance to this Upper East Side prewar apartment, drawing on its existing blend of traditional and modern elements. With a focus on longevity, the design layers clean, masculine lines with soft, feminine details to reflect the lifestyle of its young resident. Honouring the apartment’s original renovation, the space feels both timeless and personal—rooted in tradition yet adaptable to the client’s evolving needs.

This home in Chicago is an exceptional example of what designer Jen Talbot is all about. Spaces that are works of art. Where each piece is carefully considered, is a work of art on its own, and as a whole it is next level sophisticated and tells such a dramatic story. Simplicity is key. An abundance of shapes. Dark and light. Setting the stage. Photos: Dustin Forest.

For this expanded Tribeca residence, Dumais Interiors transformed two combined apartments into a thoughtfully segmented home inspired by prewar design. The four-bedroom layout includes a family room, living room, informal dining area, mudroom, walk-in closets, and a home office. Known for their refined palettes and layered textures, Dumais Interiors balanced elegance and comfort, creating a warm, livable space that reflects the family’s lifestyle through a tailored, mid-century–inspired approach.

Chimney Rock is a warm, modern retreat designed by Sonoma-based architecture + interior design firm Studio Plow as home for the parents of founder Brit Epperson. Inspired by the intimacy of camping and the rhythm of daily rituals, the home emphasizes comfort, kinship and craft. An open floorplan fosters connection, while bespoke details, many created in collaboration with family including custom furniture by Epperson’s brother, infuse the space with personal significance. Every element was thoughtfully considered to create a deeply personal and enduring home rooted in warmth, simplicity and the quiet beauty of shared experience.
