The perfect blend of adulting and whimsy. Love this Hammersmith town house designed by HÁM interiors.

Nothing tugs at my heart strings more than a home that looks lived in, that has maintained original architectural details worthy of another 100 years of adoration. This 1920’s hacienda-style house in Pasadena, California is home to designer Todd Nickey of Nickey Kehoe (and once was the home of his husband’s grandparents). It is filled with character and whimsy and has such a cozy, welcoming quality. I could not love this more.

Contrasting styles and eras is what I live for. That tension and unexpectedness is so very welcome in a see of trends and lack of imagination I find so prevalent these days. Ryan Lawson created magic with a combination of traditional Sag Harbour architecture and his clients’ appreciation for contemporary art and vintage furniture. That juxtaposition is captivating. Also, his taste in lighting is unmatched. Photography: Chris Mottalini; Stying: Colin King.

Next to the Vondelpark, this family residence is a mix of classic grandeur and ethnic playfulness. The marble kitchen is the heart of the house. This 5 floor villa is a mix of living areas, spa, offices and a yoga studio. We were super happy with the family, because they do love colours, wallpapers and prints with a unique twist. I love that each space is such a wonderful, vivacious mix of colours, patterns and textures. So much fun whilst maintaining a sense of elegance. Designed by Atelier ND Interior.

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. Tessellated Tile Factory by Sydney-based Tom Mark Henry.
