Elegant, uncluttered, luxurious and deceptively simple. A limited palette of colour and a limitless wealth of talent. Distilled form and layers of texture, old married to new and always luxury, simple almost unadorned beauty. Welcome to the portfolio of Briggs Edward Solomon.

It has been years since I blogged the work of New York architecture firm Deborah Berke & Partners. I am still a big fan as the homes they have designed are subtle, refined, timeless and show a meticulous attention to detail.

As I get older, my tastes have changed drastically and I am definitively finding myself more attracted to neutral spaces, that are designed a little more on the sophisticated side. The London based interior design firm Cochrane Design seems to specialize in just that – simple spaces that feel so warm and calm with lots of cream, silver, taupe and grey with dark accents to add a bit of drama. So gorgeous. I adore this first bedroom, and I am a big fan of substantial kitchen islands like the one in the third photo. They can turn an ordinary kitchen into an extraordinary kitchen.

I had to return to the work of Australian interior designer Denai Kulcsar for another look. Her Park House had you singing her praises and “pinning” up a storm. Here are more rooms to inspire. Enjoy.

An eclectic mix of vintage, industrial and modern pieces defines the latest home by San Francisco interior designer Antonio Martins. Starting with an impressive concrete and steel base in a home designed by Zack de Vito Aarchitecture, Martins has layered not only furnishings and finishes but meaning into the modern decor. Favourites besides the Cassina Cab chairs in the dining room? The fab string of lights hanging through the stairwell and the personal touches like the b&w photos of family and friends casually propped on steel shelves. (More of Antonio Martins’ here and here.)
