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.

“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.”

Take a homeowner with a serious collection of art and vintage, add in a designer who isn’t afraid to embrace colour and maximalism, and the result is an absolutely delightful home that is busting at the seams with personality. I have complete built-in shelving envy. Designed by Birmingham-based Fran Keenan. Photos: Hector M. Sanchez






















Casa Josephine – drenching rooms in colours that most people would shy away from, patterns that most people would think are too busy, creating statements (like with rugs hanging all over the walls) most people would never imagine. This is Jerónimo’s House. Photos: Pablo Zamora.
