Jenna Barton is all about creating refined, warm, considered and intentional interiors and this stunning newly built Tudor home in Austin, Texas is all of that and so much more. Modern with a softness throughout, a restrained colour palette, the prettiest materials (the tiles! and marble!) that add depth and character. The result is timeless and casual, and the perfect environment to raise a family. Architect: Vanguard Studio; Builder: Enve Builders; Photographer: Chase Daniel.

I don’t think many interior designers have their client announce that they want a black kitchen. But using that concept to then go hunt for a designer online and coming upon the moody and edgy work of Monique Gibson seems like a match made in heaven. This weekend retreat designed by architect Teo Siguenza was already under construction when Monique joined the project and she added her signature sophistication and dark, contemporary touch to make it a modern farmhouse like no other. I have been obsessed with her work since the early days of this blog and this home’s next level drama is exactly why. Photos: William Abranowicz; Styling: Colin King.

This Sun Valley, Idaho mountain home isn’t your typical ‘mountain modern chalet’ style. It is restrained, monastic, very much subdued in colour palette and architectural details, and has a luxe, Belgian vibe that embraces light so beautifully. As much as I love homes with history and old world architecture and doses of colour, this would 100% be what I would want in my second home. That primary bedroom is GOALS. I love a really dark and textural bedroom sooooo much. Designed by Studio MTN; Architect: Brunelle Architects; Photos: Aimée Mazzenga. (Stay tuned – the guest house coming up next!)

This Northbridge house draws inspiration from the Australian landscape, using warm neutrals, eucalypt greens, ocean blues and terracotta reds to create a confident, contemporary feel. Large windows dressed in soft sheers flood the open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas with light. Once light-starved, the home now feels bright and relaxed. Designed by Sydney-based Woods & Warner from concept to completion, every detail offers a fresh, modern take on the original Californian bungalow.

This 220m2 apartment in Paris’ 16th arrondissement represents Paris design to a T. The meticulousness of the details to take advantage of every square inch and provide plenty of storage, the exquisite selection of furnishings, a wide range of materiality (that MUST include marble), and an overall air of sophistication and elegance that one expects from a Parisian dwelling.
