Similar to the last project I featured by McLean Interiors, this spec house in Dallas, Texas is also a wonderful mix of light and dark (with dark in the rooms that I loooove seeing dark – the dining room and lounge/media/bar/games room) and an overall warm modern approach that is timeless and full of cozy furnishings. I need a big furry/fleecy chair so damn bad. Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos: Matti Gresham.

The title of this project is Man, I Love Leather, which I don’t totally understand in the context of these spaces but I’m rolling with it because I found it amusing 🙂 I really love that this home is a blend of dark and light. The best of both worlds. That dark parlour & bar space is SUCH A MOOD! I would spend all winter in that room. Most of the rest of this University Park, Texas new build is bright and airy with soft furnishings which would be perfect in the hot Texas climate. It’s modern, sophisticated but incredibly welcoming. Interiors: McLean Interiors; Architect: Jerry Coleman; Builder: Bean Co Homes; Photos; Lisa Petrole; Styling: Jenny O’Connor.

Respect for history. Care in the details. The scent of wood. The cool touch of steel. The simplicity of it all. Peaceful. The world of Italian architect Rocco Borromini.

My taste in interiors has changed over time but there are styles and colour schemes that will always have a place in my heart. Black and white with some wood in deep rich tones I will always be a fan of. Even when I am certain colour and pattern is the way to go. There is something so classic and dramatic about black and white, and Charlotte, North Carolina based design firm Ro House Studio does it really well, with touches of glam added in to up the already dramatic ante.

Interior designer Emma Shone-Sanders of east London-based studio Design & That created an earthy neutral, contemporary vibe in this glorious four-storey, five-bedroom sympathetically restored Victorian home for a family. The unfussy and sophisticated approach suits the home so well, and gives it an air of elegance but the muted colour palette adds a coziness at the same time. Photos: Ellen Christina Hancock.
