Imagine starting your day in this “Secret Garden” bathroom by Baltimore-based Strom Interior Studio. Modern luxury with a historical reference this pretty summery room feels like it has always been in this 1854 Colonial. I’d end up with wrinkly skin because I’d never want to leave.

Emma’s love of colour and pattern underpins her approach to decoration which is combined with a desire to create comfortable and practical homes. Emma has a quintessentially English style but really loves to create interiors with a modern and imaginative twist that are uniquely tailored to every client.
British designer Emma Sherlock is creating such pleasing-to-the-eye, relaxed spaces that are like a big hug. Traditional with personality.

Maintaining original Mediterranean Revival architecture in this gorgeous home in Palm Beach was the best decision the owners and designer Mark D. Sikes could have made. Cypress ceilings, metal railings, decorative bottle-glass faux windows, and even a family crest of dubious origin over the living room fireplace were kept intact. Greens and blues and a bit of coral, some stenciling, hand-painted wallpaper and lots of patterns in tile, upholstery and rugs make this home a bit nautical, a bit old world and layered in a way only a seasoned designer can.

I have never seen a more vivacious, flamboyant, vivid and spirited home than that of creative consultant Max Hurd in collaboration with designer Benedict Foley. This Victorian terrace house in London could not be more fun and energizing. The attention to detail and the somewhat random colours used throughout his home….someone with a home like this must have such a wonderful outlook on life. I want to be his friend.

“A nod to the architectural history of this 1925 home came to mind when designing spaces in this home. Preserving original elements and details of the home was a lovely juxtaposition with it’s newly designed kitchen and layers of upholstery. We reconfigured the layout to suit the family’s lifestyle, transforming imposing spaces into the large open plan living and dining room that works comfortably for daily use and entertaining.”
