“This spacious family home in Parsons Green delights with beautiful details at every turn, from bold chinoiserie wallpaper in the drawing room to a deep green panelled bathroom featuring luxe Arabescato book-matched marble slabs. Bespoke joinery was designed for the dressing room as well as a bar unit in the reception room, painted in high gloss for impact.”

Quintessentially English. Quintessentially fabulous. Parsons Green by Rosanna Bossom.

I looooove how Iñigo Aragón and Pablo López Navarro of design firm Casa Josephine Studio took what could have easily read as a very cold and small apartment (70 sqm located in the center of Madrid) and created just the opposite. Painted out brick, stone, concrete with exposed beams and a concrete floor in pale grey keep things light and add a coziness, fabrics in rusts and orange shades add warmth, and stainless and tons of mirror provide much reflection and make the space seem larger. Genius. (Photos: Pablo Zamora)

“LP Creative approaches design through a storytelling lens, endeavoring to create richly textured spaces that are at once evocative and livable, and leans into the unmistakable honesty and authenticity that come from the human hand at work.”

Tactile, earthy and evocative. A wabi-sabi haven in the city all-enveloping and sustaining.

Winter is ALMOST done in my part of the world and I’ve been daydreaming of long, hot days, sand between my toes and relaxed living. I must say this holiday house in Portugal by  Daniel Suduca and Thierry Merillou of Suduca & Merillou is what I see when I close my eyes. Perfect.

There are the lucky few who live in Paris. There are the luckier few who live in a Haussmannian apartment with its sugar icing plaster details, beautiful floors and towering windows and doors. Then there are the luckiest few of all who live in a Haussmannian apartment renovated by Parisian interior designer Véronique Cotrel of  L’agence Véronique Cotrel where the marriage between old and new is sublime. Majestic and welcoming. Historic yet perfectly attuned to contemporary living.
