Nestled in North Fitzroy, the owners of this Victorian house needed help to revitalize their tired extension. Within the existing L-shaped structure from the mid-2000s, the layout was reimagined to create a bespoke kitchen with seamless access to the garden and deck. A striking marble island now anchors the open living area. A simple, elegant palette with warm white cabinetry and oak accents unifies the space. Custom glass doors divide and frame new perspectives, while carefully selected lighting elevates the interior, fusing classic and contemporary elements into a light-filled home.

The house exudes an artisanal, textured allure echoing the wild, relaxed beauty of central Provence. Paris-based designer Diego Delgado-Elias has transformed the centuries-old home by employing rough plaster walls, woven raffia and a mix of rustic antiques and contemporary designs. The colour palette is earthy, the feel artisan. Grand plan by Diego Delgado-Elias.

Set on 102 acres of land amidst the Santa Ynez Mountains, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, La Tarantella by Grassini Family Vineyards was originally designed and built by Los Angeles architecture firm Choate Associates as a private residence.  The original homeowners’ passion for Spanish, French and Italian architecture lead them to integrate interior architectural elements such as columns, fireplace surrounds and lighting that date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Grassini Family Vineyards, along with Corinne Mathern Studio transformed La Tarantella into an event and hospitality space in 2022. Corinne Mathern Studio pulled hues of the olive trees, vines and hills to the interior through a muted palette of neutrals, sage greens, dusty blues, chocolate browns, deep rusts, tans and creams for a sense of harmony. Corinne Mathern Studio designed the oak millwork throughout the entire property to complement the cedar and Douglas fir ceilings.
The architectural details of this home are a wonderful starting point and the vintage mixed with contemporary furnishings makes this home more fresh and “now”. And that pale terracotta plaster exterior is absolutely delightful.

With its reconfigured layout, designer furniture and large contemporary art this SoHo, Manhattan loft is a blend of sophistication and bohemian charisma. The space’s white painted brick walls and iconic iron columns are celebrated in this coveted oasis in bustling Manhattan. Green Street by interior designer Augusta Hoffman.

Amsterdam-based designer Madelon Oudshoorn Spaargaren of MOS Interiors sounds an awful lot like me. She was keen on redecorating her room at 10 years old and would move her furniture around (I spend many weekends doing this). She also believes in only using a few new pieces in a space, and reusing existing furniture by reupholstering. She doesn’t follow the mainstream, doesn’t implement fast trends. She believes in being unique, introducing fabrics from around the world, Ikea hacks, and creating warm, comfortable spaces with good energy.
