Since discovering the work of Dublin & London based architecture and design firm Kingston Lafferty Design about 5 years ago, I have been captivated by each and every one of their projects. Unusual colours used in unusual ways, adding modern to period spaces, and simply being unique in everything they do. This renovation of a large period house in Malahide, Ireland is as gorgeous as I have come to expect from this firm.

The home of Connecticut-based designer Denise Davies of D2 Interieurs is part Hollywood Regency (Kelly Wearstler-esque), part glam, all modern, with patterns and some bold colour choices. I am particularly fond of her living room – what’s not to love about glossy white walls and a pink/gold wallpapered ceiling?

Love the family-friendly, bright, and whimsical vibe of this home designed by Milan-based design firm Studio Paradisiartificiali. The design of this home centres around a small coloured volume: the mixing and matching of a few, simple geometries, amidst the luxuriant vegetation of an imaginary garden. The effect is that of a votive temple, an architecture born to celebrate domestic rituals. When a house represents living in its most intimate form, it turns into a home, a physical and mental extension of its inhabitants. What we wished to convey was the sense that beyond the threshold lay a marvel of nature that reigns supreme insofar as capable of arousing infinite wonder in the onlooker. To this end, together with the Mexican artist Guillermo Flores ORBEH, we left our clients to wander through the leafy branches until they reached a small coloured volume and chose it as their home.

From soaring ceilings and flooding light in a  three level Parisian atelier to a small, cocoon like apartment in the 18th Arrondissement.

“Inspired by the Mediterranean, the theatrical architecture of this apartment is emphasized by natural materials: travertine, tadelakt and concrete. The alcove creates a bubble of softness and the pink waxed concrete floor soothes and sets the tone.”

This condo in Saint Petersburg, Florida is all about liveable glamour. Lisa Gilmore took this condo up several notches with a really unique backsplash with Kelly Wearstler tile and large brass handles and hood in the kitchen, the dreamiest magenta media room and some dramatic wallpapers in the bathrooms. Gorgeous!!!
