This 1850s federal-style brownstone in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston is already as cute as can be, but Nina Farmer got her hands on it and added some really bold colours, sheen and patterns and upped the personality factor by 1000%. I am adding so many photos of this project to my inspiration folder, but particularly of the kitchen. I am soooo tired of boring and bland kitchens and this one could not be further from that.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s somewhere stylish. Casa Arca by Maye Estudio.

Brisbane-based Langlois Design‘s brief was to transform the existing residence, giving the architecture a modern lift, and seamlessly blending the clients’ styles. Emphasizing clean lines and layered textures, the home has become a vibrant oasis. The renovation focused on the kitchen, opening up space for better flow and incorporating a round, tiered island bench for functionality. The kitchen’s finishes reflected the clients’ personalities with organic shapes, olive green and teak joinery, terrazzo, mosaic tiles and modern tapware, creating an energizing yet homey atmosphere.

Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.
