Everything is cooler in Paris. The architecture is so exquisite you can put anything in the spaces and they simply sing. In the case of this apartment designed by David Raffoul and Nicolas Moussallem of David/Nicolas they let their imaginations run wild, and incorporated unique modern furnishings for that juxtaposition of eras that I adore.

Set in Austin, this home by Molly Kidd Studio has a contemporary European vibe. Designed as a sanctuary from busy lives, it blends soft neutrals, layered textures and natural materials for a calm, timeless feel. Venetian plaster walls and bold elements like Arabescato marble and vintage lighting add depth and personality. With over half of the furnishings being vintage ( sourced locally and abroad) the home feels effortlessly collected, warm and quietly dramatic.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.













































A bachelor’s dual-purpose, industrial solo pad allows for moments of self-discovery and experience — a true blank canvas that, through thoughtful design, exudes personality and embraces curiosity. An enviable art collection — including a two-story custom installation — and street-level event space only add to the adventure.
There’s a sense of drama, coolness, a modern artsy vibe in this West Loop home. I am swooning over the bedroom in that glorious green (Benjamin Moore’s Polished Slate) with the “Moon Gate” transition to the meditation space. Designed by Studio Sven. Photos: Ryan McDonald.


















The Granary by Maddux Creative is a reimagined Cotswold retreat where natural light, calm tones and considered materials create a quiet elegance. Each space is thoughtfully designed to balance beauty and practicality, with soft textures, gentle forms and a restrained palette lending warmth and depth. From the inviting sitting room to the tactile TV space and restful master suite, the interiors offer a sense of ease and intimacy. Every detail has been chosen to enhance the home’s serene atmosphere, resulting in a timeless and deeply personal refuge shaped by intention and care.
