Designer Marta De La Rica at it again with another home in Madrid that has similar warm tones as the last one, but with a bit of subtlety here. Some grasscloth wallpaper adds texture and coziness, while floral wallpaper and a pretty suzani bedcover add femininity. Photos: Manolo Yllera.

I adore shades of terracotta. It makes a space feel so warm and cozy but still vibrant. Madrid-based designer Marta De La Rica created all the warmth in this home with layers of terracotta and shades of blue. She is always unique in her approach to design and colour choices and this is no exception. Photos: Manolo Yllera.

This 92m² apartment in Paris’s 18th arrondissement required a complete redesign, especially relocating the kitchen to create a third bedroom. Murs & Merveilles crafted a vibrant, retro-inspired space with meticulous attention to detail, from materials to lighting. The entrance sets the tone with a mix of vintage and contemporary styles, including custom joinery and a brass-accented bench. The bicolor kitchen opens into a light-filled living area with a calming oak and green glass contrast. Throughout, thoughtful design choices create a warm, inviting atmosphere, blending bold colours, vintage touches and custom elements in every room.

I love this little 2 bedroom beachside cottage in Nantucket that LA-based Kevin Isbell designed. The colours and patterns are so vibrant and fresh and perfect for cottage life. Then you have the gorgeous mural (by artist Audrey Sterk) in the “Whale Room” that was printed on grasscloth – an absolutely brilliant element to create a moody and enveloping space in the family room. Obsessed!!! Photos: Read McKendree.

“Occupying a corner site, a north facing, end row semi-detached residence is re-imagined to make the most of its site’s northerly aspect and enjoy city district views not previously seen. Communal family spaces fan around the outdoor terrace and garden, to make the most of sunlight and sea breezes, forging a fluid relationship between interiors and garden, whilst utilising remnant areas to best advantage.”
