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.

A sprawling private estate located in the Hollywood Hills. Every design detail from the earthy, understated finishes, to the highly textured neutral palette was meant to create a timeless impression that celebrates the property’s majestic panoramic views.
Give me all the old rustic wood and linen slipcovered sofas! A bit more neutral than I could probably live with but when work life is chaotic, this would be as serene as can be to come home to. By Balton Design.

Casa Halcyon Residence in Vaucluse, Sydney, reflects STUDIOJOS founder Joss Knight’s refined, sculptural approach to interior design. The home embraces calm through simplified traditional elements reminiscent of contemporary Belgian design. Tonal textures create a quiet, timeless atmosphere while balancing old and new. The result is an understated yet luxurious space that supports an effortless indoor–outdoor lifestyle and a sense of serene, considered living.

Designed as a personal expression of Audax’s Human Architecture philosophy, Bellwoods Kitchen is the heart of principals Gianpiero and Mariya’s home, seamlessly merging timeless European elegance with modern functionality. Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s 17th-century interiors, the space evokes warmth and artistry through checkered Bardiglio and Bianco Carrara marble flooring, white oak cabinetry, and antique accents. From the Lacanche stove with a mantel-style hood to the custom Florentine lighting and brass fixtures, every element is carefully curated to strike a perfect balance between heritage and innovation. A farmhouse table replaces the traditional island to foster intimacy, while hidden storage and state-of-the-art appliances maintain a clean, uninterrupted aesthetic. The adjoining sitting area, complete with a fireplace and terrace, extends the experience outdoors, making the kitchen more than a place to cook—it is a living space that enriches everyday moments with beauty, history, and craftsmanship.
I saw a video of this kitchen on Youtube over the summer and could not believe my eyes. This kitchen is absolute perfection. The vibe is so classic and elegant but has a rustic edge despite being brand new.

Dan Mazzarini of Mazzarini & Co. (formerly BHDM Design as featured here many times) is known for his classic, elegant style in a mostly black and white colour palette. It’s no surprise his Greenwich Village apartment is exactly that – modern and sophisticated with a very neutral colour scheme but he uses some cream and brown tones that really warm up the spaces and keeps it from being too austere. I know some folks aren’t fans of paper covered books but I am really into that whole shelving situation in the living room (I’d at least write the book titles in a faintly legible fine tip black pen).
