Interior designer Augusta Hoffman‘s chic New York apartment blends modern aesthetics and timeless elegance. Sleek lines and luxurious textures create an inviting and opulent atmosphere. Neutral tones dominate the palette in the living room allowing natural light to bounce about the apartment while deep greens and tobacco tones are a bold choice for other rooms. Serene, sophisticated and welcoming.

“Highland House is a contemporary, new-build holiday home in the Highlands of Scotland, designed with Tektonika Architects. The interior design roots the building in its setting, while also offering protection from it – this is a place of extreme weather and beautiful vistas of a loch.

Design details reflect the home’s use as a place to escape, unwind and be at one with nature. Minimalism meets cosiness in a material palette that includes chunky concrete with exposed aggregate, warm Douglas fir wood, handmade zelliges and flattish-toned encaustic tiles, and textiles that are comforting to touch. Everything is built on a palette of green, yellow, navy, pink and brown (the sludgy versions), allowing the rooms to bleed into the land they overlook.”

I spy antiques, touches of traditional, dashes of mid-century, a hint of contemporary, dark and light, pattern and texture…this is why we love the work of Heidi Woodman so much. Her spaces are always a glorious gallimaufry of greatness.

Amsterdam-based designer Madelon Oudshoorn Spaargaren of MOS Interiors sounds an awful lot like me. She was keen on redecorating her room at 10 years old and would move her furniture around (I spend many weekends doing this). She also believes in only using a few new pieces in a space, and reusing existing furniture by reupholstering. She doesn’t follow the mainstream, doesn’t implement fast trends. She believes in being unique, introducing fabrics from around the world, Ikea hacks, and creating warm, comfortable spaces with good energy.

Bold and dramatic, avante garde and family-friendly. What a combination. The owners approached Regina Perez Montemayor of Studio Montemayor to work her design magic on their San Francisco home. Blending distinct design styles and eras the rooms are eclectic and unexpected showcasing fabulous art and revelling in a bold colour palette.
