When Marilyn Monroe meets creams/grey/taupe, luscious fabrics and some marble. This stunning 19th century terraced home in London was lovingly refurbished and restored (including historic lath, horsehair plaster walls and hand detailed plasterwork) by Duck & Shed. Elegance and sophistication with a complete monochrome colour scheme. 

I have died and gone to marble heaven. *SIGH*

Singapore, the land of cookie cutter apartments stacked on top of each other high into the sky. A necessity in such a densely populated city state. Nothing cookie cutter about this apartment by 0932 Design Consultants. Beautiful, serene. The monochromatic palette opens up the space while texture adds interest and warmth. An emphasis on natural materials feeds the mind and the soul. Graceful, simple luxury.

A limited palette of greys and whites. Limed floors and boards on the walls. Rich timber and marble in the kitchen. Pops of yellow and orange and blue. Clean lines, no frills. All washed with soft light through French doors and beautiful windows. Charleston-based interior designer Cortney Bishop calls it modern organic. I call it swoon worthy. Such stylish simplicity.

I wanted to share one more small project by the talented ladies of Studio Revolution. This one may have been a bit of a challenge with one homeowner loving anything french and the other loving their backyard. In the end they brought together lots of greenery against a neutral palette of jute, hides, leather, linens and cashmere with a definite French feel (with a bit of help from Restoration Hardware – I have always had a thing for their Soho Tufted collection).

Slick brick, textured minimalism, an emphasis on construction, on materials, on details. Raw and rough becoming more sophisticated, smoother as you progress through this prewar loft in NYC’s Greenwich Village. By Raad.
