Kim has shared an overview of New York-based product and interior designer Nicholas Obeid before. Still, when I came across his portfolio again I knew I wanted to take a closer look at this Soho apartment. A timeless mix of bespoke and vintage pieces carefully tames the ample space. What a luxurious problem to have, to make a vast apartment in New York cosy and inviting.

The majestic footprint of the home needed an equally compelling design. This masculine rustic retreat was made with natural materials, organic accents, and an elevated approach for maximum comfort. We were able to translate the rugged surroundings into livable yet tailored spaces for this client and their family. From woodsy brown stains to neutral yet impactful tile, stone, and marble, each room feels like a retreat. The kitchen and dining nook have this moody and intimate feel to them. From the dark countertops to all of the complimentary natural stone, it is such a timeless combination. Rugged and elegant at once, the transition into the breakfast nook and dining space is seamless! We drew a lot of inspiration from Europe in this project.
This may be “rustic” but I’d add in there “elevated” and “refined”. It’s top-notch cabin living but no way are you letting people wander around with muddy boots on.

A celebration of modern and traditional in this light and bright Madrid apartment by architectural and interior design studio Gärna. Antiques are juxtaposed with clean-lined contemporary pieces creating a timeless elegance. Although only 94 m2 the space packs a punch albeit in a velvet glove.

We uniquely reimagined this country estate and distinguished our design by its historic architecture, creating a dwelling that is equal parts past and present. Old-age European lifestyle and new-age sustainability are some of the hallmarks of our work and this home was intentionally imbued with character and richness, using vintage wherever possible. Throughout the home, we installed 80% vintage lighting and 60% vintage finds to support our sustainable ethos and convey a collected home full of sensible luxury.
I adore the moody colour palette (whiskey room is Farrow & Ball’s Pantalon, kitchen cabinets are Drab) and textural materials (they are clearly huge fans of shearling chairs) used throughout this home designed by Light and Dwell. Epic cozy levels here. Photos: Tim Lenz.

Casa Cedros is located in Jalisco, Mexico and is an inspiring example of blending and engaging with the surroundings. Oak floors, cedar joinery and local stone are foundational and really does bring the surrounding nature inside providing a seamless experience. Keeping the colours very neutral helps emphasis the peace and calm that this home evokes. Designed by Aagnes. Photos: César Béjar.
