After years of neglect and poorly conceived remodels, a 1920s residence in New Jersey’s pastoral Horse Country required a full gut. The interior was conceived to be true to the home’s original period but mindful of modern lifestyles. This involved designing all of the interior architecture including moldings, fireplaces, baths and kitchen, even relocating a staircase. The home was then outfitted with comfortable furnishings in keeping with its country setting.
Horse country? I’m already won over. This home though is the icing on the cake in a setting like that, with it’s casual sophistication and touches of elegance and at the same time utilitarianism. Is there a doorway that fits a horse though…. Design: Michael Aiduss Studio; Photos: Ellen McDermott; Styling: Anthony Santelli.

Maddux Creative’s redesign of this late Georgian former rectory in Kent began with its bathrooms and soon extended throughout the home. Inspired by the tranquil countryside, the team used natural textures, soft timber tones and a warm, gentle palette to evoke a refreshed country atmosphere. Original features, including staircase woodwork, were preserved and complemented with contemporary furnishings. New intricate timber flooring, bespoke dressing room and extensive joinery enhanced functionality. A fully panelled snug, created from existing fragments, and views through large sash windows to the gardens and meadow complete this thoughtfully layered transformation.

This redesigned Chicago home sits within a protected historic district, requiring Annarya Design to work within preservation guidelines. The result is a masterful balance of heritage and charm, where original architectural features were honoured and thoughtfully integrated into a fresh, livable aesthetic. The home’s vintage character remains front and center: the original fireplaces anchor key rooms with their undeniable sense of history. The staircase, a focal point in the entry, was carefully restored including missing sections replaced. This home radiates the quiet elegance of something lived-in and loved, with modern comforts, including a kitchen in the new addition, that work for a family. Photos: Margaret Rajic.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.
