With offices in California and Massachusetts, Katie Martinez Design respects a space’s history and architecture while incorporating timeless design elements. For the 1740 Ripley Residence, the firm led a full renovation and expansion, collaborating with the owners to introduce rich layers of colour and pattern. They sourced primarily vintage and handcrafted pieces and designed the cabinetry, bathrooms and finishes with thoughtful attention to detail.

What a joy it must be for interior designer Stephanie Barba Mendoza to come home to this after a long day at work. Her northwest London home is filled with the most beautiful colours and patterns, and I had to start with the kitchen/dining space because WOW this combination of a leafy wallpaper (Marly by Colony) and peachy/pink paint colour (Sweet Briar by Morris & Co) and those gorgeous green tiles and marble counter…. what a treat! The orange living room walls (Dutch Orange by Edward Bulmer) carries the warmth through to the other side of the house. I am completely smitten with this. Photos: Kensington Leverne.

If Alfredo Parades‘ Long Island mansion wasn’t fabulous enough, prepare yourself! This is his Shelter Island weekend house and it is everything you could want for chilling out on weekends. It started off as a small 1870s Victorian cottage and was added on to over the years. Alfredo took on the restoration work in an attempt to enhance it’s original features and the historic aesthetic. It is bright and airy, with beach vibes and tons of vintage touches that make it casual and inviting. Photos: Bjorn Wallander.

Cottage living in the country but make it elevated. This stunning home in Hailburton, Ontario is soooo beautiful and despite my love of colour, it is truly relaxing and easy on the eyes with all of the neutral tones and woods used throughout. As a getaway from the craziness of the city it is the perfect palette. So many wonderful textures too – stone walls in the living room and kitchen, raffia walls and seagrass pendants in the dining room, white oak walls and ceilings… Designed by Allison Willson.

This decoration project was for a repeat client with a charming ancient stone cottage in Wiltshire. They had done a renovation on the cottage several years before we met, but always felt that it was lacking in character and energy. So the brief was to bring energy and colour into the house without making any changes that would require building work. Since the house was already fully furnished, we focused on recovering all of the clients’ existing furniture and redecorating the walls. Newly added finishing touches like lamps, shades and cushions brought the schemes together. Looking at the finished house I’m so glad that the clients’ strong happy energy is now reflected in their home.
Designed by Brandon Schubert, this home is imbued with so much charm I can hardly stand it. The colours and all of the lovely vintage patterns are sooooo perfect for this 16th century Wiltshire cottage. Photos: Boz Gagovski.
