I adore postmodern design, and I feel like the world could use soooo much more of it. Bold colour choices, geometric patterns, shapely furniture that are often pieces of art themselves….it’s a vibrancy and creativity that really has a wonderful appeal and you can’t help but smile at. Designer Jen Talbot created such a fabulous home here with a more neutral colour palette in the main spaces (the brown and black accents add the pop postmodernism calls for) and then a huge wow factor in the main bedroom and children’s bathroom. The bedroom and ensuite colour palette is spectacular. Photos: Stephen Karlisch.
Elevated granny chic is what you experience as soon as you walk in the front door of this Philadelphia row house. It’s filled with the homeowner’s family heirlooms and with lots of traditional wallpapers and fabrics it is an incredibly inviting, homey space. A home that will last decades without needing to touch a thing. Designed by Studio Dorion. Photos: Ethan Herrington.
We started imagining what this 1908 Craftsman could be at the exact instant Greta Gerwig’s Little Women came out in theaters, and while discussing how both the client and Chloe enjoyed it very much, our client said the words “I want my house to be like that, but on acid”, and we were off to the races. No pattern was off limits, no color too much. A Moorish guest bath? Yes, we decided March sisters would approve. An enormous custom painted Falcon screen? It’s our client’s spirit animal and of course that makes sense.
I absolutely adore the colours and vibrancy in this home. Such wonderful energy in each space. By Redmond Aldrich Design. Photos by Laure Joliet.

Nestled in a historic neighborhood, the Allan residence speaks to the enduring appeal of traditional design. Here, we honored the home’s architectural heritage while weaving in layers of refined comfort. The living spaces unfold in a thoughtful rhythm – from a powder room wrapped in hand-blocked wallpaper to a kitchen where honed marble and antiqued brass tell a story of timeless materials. Rich textiles in measured patterns, carefully sourced antiques, and collected pieces work in harmony to create rooms that feel as though they’ve evolved naturally over time.
Classical elegance and such pretty warm colours that exude a bright and airiness but also act like a big hug. This home will be beautiful and relevant 30 years from now just as it is. Love that. By Hageman Homes. Photos: Will Reid.
