A designer’s cozy Nashville home

Posted on Thu, 6 Nov 2025 by KiM

Nashville designer Lilly Taylor recently took on a major renovation of most of her home and I am loving the casual yet sophisticated feel, the thoughtful details and the mostly muted colour palette. This new look will stand the test of time and is a wonderful mix of old and new, dark and light, and 100% functional. Photos: Caroline Sharpnack.

At only 1500 sq ft, this 1960s ranch house in on the North Fork of Long Island seems much larger with it’s white painted walls and ceilings (vaulter ceilings sure help), the addition of a screened porch that feels like an extension of the living room and a new window in the kitchen. Some casual furnishings (in a high-low mix) in shades of white, dark and wood make this weekend retreat an absolute delight for designer and homeowner Dan Mazzarini of BHDM. Photos: Reid Rolls.

Timeless country charm

In the heart of the Cotswolds, Sean Symington Design transformed a once-tired cottage into a welcoming retreat for overseas clients. Preserving the home’s historic charm, the studio introduced warmth and character through layered textures, traditional detailing and a refined palette, resulting in a timeless escape that captures quintessential English country style.

A multifaceted space blending inspiration and cinematic allure, fostering connections between sitting and dining areas. Modern art intertwines with unique installations and chinoiseries, infusing the living space with contemporary flair. The project welcomes guests with vibrant patterns, colors, and surprises in every corner, evoking cheerful comfort.
Drawing influence from the homeowner’s home country of Brazil, this home is sophisticated, bold AF and so full of joy. I get that this would be a lot for most people but I admire the creativity and colourful palette. Another fabulous project by L’Éléphant. Photos: Francisco Nogueira.

A historic manor house in Portugal

Posted on Tue, 21 Oct 2025 by KiM

A manor house set within the storied landscape of the Douro Valley, where time seems to stand still and serenity prevails. This project by Lisbon-based interior design & architecture firm L’Élephant thoughtfully brings together a curated selection of pieces, merging traditional and classic elements. Each room unfolds like a narrative, rich with character. The interiors reveal themselves gradually, filled with intricate details and deliberate choices that pay homage to the past while embracing the present. Exquisite!!!
