You would have a difficult time convincing me there that there was anything more beautiful than exposed wood beams, trim-free plaster walls, old-world tiled and raw wood floors. This home in Limburg, The Netherlands, is breathtaking. Interior design by Niels Maier. Photos by Thomas De Bruyne.

This home is everything that would never come to your mind when you think of a townhouse in New York City. Exposed wood ceilings, extra wide wood floors, painted brick, concrete walls, steel and wood staircase, linen curtains, a stone tub…..this is everything you want in a raw, natural, earthy, wabi-sabi, zen-like retreat. I am in complete awe of the architecture and the incredibly well curated collection of furnishings. Designed by David Cafiero. (Photos: Stephen Kent Johnson)

In a field, near a lake’s edge, in the beautiful land of New Zealand is a dream. A dream house, a dream lifestyle.

“The crib is a place to relax and focus on the social side of food, where cooking and dining become a culinary performance connected to the landscape. At 150-m2, the crib has the intimacy of a small house, but can comfortably sleep ten people, with two double bedrooms, an attic loft for two, and a bunk room with four beds.”

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. Le Hideout by Montreal-based Ménard Dworkind Architecture & Design.

Lots of white in a home gives me anxiety at the thought of trying to keep it clean, but I am more than willing to admire it from afar. In this home designed again by Maria Santos, it is a heavy dose of white with the warming accent of honey toned wood and accessories. It is so incredibly serene and refined. Eye candy therapy I’d call this. You leave feeling a bit calmer than when you arrived. (Photos: Montse Garriga)
