Designer Claire Staszak of Centered by Design coins this Chicago townhouse “east coast meets west coast”. It has an air of sophistication yet a sense of calm and comfort and a lovely mix of antiques and pretty wallpapers added here and there. I am totally smitten with the dark and moody library/music room and that stunning green (Benjamin Moore’s Vineland). Photos: Taylor Hall O’Brien.

This redesigned Chicago home sits within a protected historic district, requiring Annarya Design to work within preservation guidelines. The result is a masterful balance of heritage and charm, where original architectural features were honoured and thoughtfully integrated into a fresh, livable aesthetic. The home’s vintage character remains front and center: the original fireplaces anchor key rooms with their undeniable sense of history. The staircase, a focal point in the entry, was carefully restored including missing sections replaced. This home radiates the quiet elegance of something lived-in and loved, with modern comforts, including a kitchen in the new addition, that work for a family. Photos: Margaret Rajic.

This was a full-scale renovation of a prewar Park Avenue co-op housed in a Georgian-style building originally designed by Emery Roth in 1916. The design brief for this dynamic young family was to interpret tradition through a fresh, spirited lens – classic with a playful edge. The interiors by designer Josh Greene strike a balance between contrast and harmony: light tones meet moody hues; modern silhouettes sit alongside antiques. Also, a tented dining room? Yes please!!!

We reimagined the layouts of the first, second, and third floors of this early Victorian terraced home,  on a charming tree-lined street in Maida Vale. Our brief was to honour the building’s historic character, restoring original mouldings and architectural details while thoughtfully incorporating natural and reclaimed materials throughout. We re-designed the kitchen with a classical sensibility— to feel timeless, brighter, and more open than the small space belies!
Antiques, bit of colour and some graphic patterns (that paper on the bathroom walls is rice paper printed by hand in the batik method) blend the old with the new and make this a really fun home. And I am obsessed with this kitchen! Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.
