Pared-back, carefully curated and immediately welcoming. The restrained colour palette is elevated by the layering of texture and natural materials. Timeless, elegant, comfortable. Mandeville Canyon by Caroline Irvin Davis.

Vintage meets contemporary, saturated colour meets bright white. Think orange and mustard and avocado hues as well as Tobia Scarpa and Mario Bellini. You could be in the 1960s or 70s. A masterful mix in this renovated Warsaw apartment by Paradowski Studio.

I love the juxtaposition of rustic and  modern, of contemporary luxury and almost monastic stone walls. While preserving the old stone house’s character by repairing and maintaining the external walls, the interiors of this country house in Spain’s Galacia is light filled, sleek and modern … well almost. Cottage in Lugo by Ventura.

So often mid century homes languish in an unloved state, suffering from past renovations that were at best lukewarm and at worst down right nasty. The reworking of this Laguna Beach home by Jen Samson Design saw all traces of unsympathetic meddling removed and the rooms allowed to look to the future while celebrating the past.

So what is modern luxury? The luxury of natural materials, of space, of abundant light flowing into your home, of beautiful things and art definitely art. Modern luxury is having the ability to live how you want, where you want. Modern luxury is this Bellevue Hill Residence by Sarah Davison Interiors.
