Stella Weatherall is a London-based interior design studio, founded in 2021. Our eclectic style and love of antique textiles is influenced by Stella’s childhood in Hong Kong, extensive travels in the Far East and a love and appreciation for all things Italian. We draw upon inspiration from across the globe and enjoy mixing styles, antiques and art to create decorative, unique interiors that tell our clients’ story.
A discernible love of pattern and maximalism (particularly when it comes to layering artwork on the walls), which imbues such a level of coziness and homeliness.

I love a peek into a designer’s home; it gives such an insight into their design DNA. This late 18th-century coastal Connecticut house with the apt name of “Blue Doors” is home to architect Nate McBride of McBride Architects and his interior designer wife, Kari McCabe. Think simple lines, historic materials, white walls and a celebration of colour and pattern from fabrics and wallpaper. A perfect example of paring back and letting go.

We were given the opportunity to turn a beige and brown historic country house into a cheerful and welcoming forever home for one of our very favorite families. We tended to the deferred maintenance first and once all of that was sorted, we made small but significant architectural changes like removing the small wooden and shingled little porch stoop cover and replacing it with a cheerful striped awning and draperies, opening up the living room fire box to its original glorious size and dressing it in a French carved stone surround, hung crystal chandeliers, installed gas lanterns, and hung a sixteen foot tall custom made rose trellis, and window boxes every place we could fit them. When it comes to the project, we lovingly referred to as #perfectlypicardy it could be said that we have a ruthlessly edited more is more aesthetic choosing layers of chintz, plush pink mohair, tufted everything and multiple bar carts stocked to entertain all summer long…
You’d think this was a villa in the south of France, not in the heart of Missouri. Such a fabulously glam, elegant makeover by the queen of glam, Annie Brahler of EuroTrash. Photos: Shannon Duggan.

“In this Outremont condo noble materials reign, the interior design combines various marbles and rich wood textures and natural textiles to create a sophisticated yet understated atmosphere. The subtle interplay of the different materials adds a touch of timeless luxury without overwhelming the airy space. The finished condo offers a comfortable and inviting urban living environment.”

Luke Havekes, founder of the eponymous Luke Havekes Design, believes that there should always be a story at the heart of every space no matter what style and what a story this Montreal home tells. Richly textured, art filled, masculine and moody.
