“Louis Denavaut was asked to renovate and decorate a duplex owned by two artists. The apartment is located between the Tuileries garden and the Opéra Garnier, with a breathtaking view of the dome atop the Saint Roch church on rue Saint-Honoré.

The living room, flooded with light from a spectacular round window facing the Saint Roch church, has a 1970s Italian table and a custom-designed banquette made from panels of bleached oak with leather cushions.”

As if that wasn’t enough a white steel mezzanine with a glass floor perches above, the kitchen features an island made of veined Pele de Tigre marble and the bathroom is fully tiled in black zellige. I may be hideously jealous but I’m also incredibly inspired. Saint Roch by interior architect Louis Denavaut.

Modern luxe

“A rustic-modern vineyard estate designed to prioritize the home’s soaring views. The interiors thoughtfully layer textural finishes to bring the comfort level up and balance the large scale of this inspiring residence.”

It’s about the materials, the light and the details in this Napa Valley home. Modern lines and natural finishes bring warmth and style while always on view are the stunning exteriors. Favourite parts? The shelving in the living room and the light-filled kitchen. Calistoga by Jennifer Robin Interiors.

It can sometimes be a bit jarring to see such a modern extension on a centuries old home but given I often say I’ll need at least 4 homes to get in all the styles I really like, in this case you get the best of both worlds in ONE home! Here the 18th century Georgian farmhouse in Gloucestershire has been transformed into a double height art gallery and an office. The addition comprises the living spaces. An exquisite juxtaposition of old and new. By Alison Brooks Architect. Photos: Paul Riddle.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Fella Flagship by AP Design House.

Kitchen love

My love for statement stone kitchens particularly in Victorian-era spaces still knows no bounds. Add in a hint of mid century and abstract art and it’s just about perfect. Chelsea Townhouse by Hunt Architecture.
