Stately homes, refined and elegant. These are the domain of Madrid-based interior designer Lucía Gómez-Acebo. Think classicism, antiques, a restrained colour palette and beautiful finishes.

It turns out Ashley Montgomery can do neutrals REALLY well also. And this is her lake house. And it’s stunning and everything a lake house should be. Also please everyone take a very close look at this island that has CURVED ENDS! Absolutely brilliant. (Photos: Lauren Miller)















A new beginning for this Haussmanian apartment in the heart of Saint Germain saw interior architects l’Agence Véronique Cotrel create a bright, modern family home while respecting the history of the building.
