A historic manor house in Portugal

Posted on Tue, 21 Oct 2025 by KiM

A manor house set within the storied landscape of the Douro Valley, where time seems to stand still and serenity prevails. This project by Lisbon-based interior design & architecture firm L’Élephant thoughtfully brings together a curated selection of pieces, merging traditional and classic elements. Each room unfolds like a narrative, rich with character. The interiors reveal themselves gradually, filled with intricate details and deliberate choices that pay homage to the past while embracing the present. Exquisite!!!

Man, I Love Leather

Posted on Tue, 21 Oct 2025 by KiM

The title of this project is Man, I Love Leather, which I don’t totally understand in the context of these spaces but I’m rolling with it because I found it amusing 🙂 I really love that this home is a blend of dark and light. The best of both worlds. That dark parlour & bar space is SUCH A MOOD! I would spend all winter in that room. Most of the rest of this University Park, Texas new build is bright and airy with soft furnishings which would be perfect in the hot Texas climate. It’s modern, sophisticated but incredibly welcoming. Interiors: McLean Interiors; Architect: Jerry Coleman; Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos; Lisa Petrole; Styling: Jenny O’Connor.

Reimagined

Posted on Mon, 20 Oct 2025 by midcenturyjo

Projet Galliera is a refined renovation of a 95m² apartment in Paris’s 16th arrondissement by Kuentz Le Gall. The design merges heritage and modern craftsmanship through the use of travertine, zellige, and cement tiles, creating a dialogue between texture and light. Bespoke joinery integrates sculptural elements, while a green Camaleonda sofa anchors the living space. The result is a balanced composition of colour, material and form. An elegant interplay between artistic legacy and contemporary design.

A completely bespoke home in London

Posted on Fri, 17 Oct 2025 by KiM

This home required a full refurbishment from top to bottom where the existing space was gutted, and the layout was completely reimagined. The brief was to create something impactful, unique and fun that suited both the adults, and their three children. The space needed to be practical, with plenty of storage and room for the children to grow and have their independence whilst also giving the adults their own oasis of calm in the formal living room and master suite. The client trusted us to create bold and playful schemes in every room which completely transformed the house from a traditional property, to something truly unique. So many of the design decisions in this property are bespoke, and everything about it is personal to the client, resulting in a one-of-a-kind home.
The drama and whimsy, attention to detail in every space, the impactful colours used make this home really unique and full of personality. Designed by Mia Karlsson. Photos: Ben Sage.
