Das im Küstendorf St. Mawes gelegene Hotel Tresanton ist ein umgebauter Yachtclub mit Blick auf die Fal-Mündung, die für ihre beiden Schlösser bekannt ist, die von Heinrich VIII. an beiden Ufern errichtet wurden. Das Tresanton, das von Olga Polizzi vom Forte Hotel Clan renoviert wurde, ist eigentlich eine Ansammlung von kleinen Gebäuden, die [...]

Vielleicht haben Sie schon von der Innenarchitektin Kara Mann gehört (sie ist so etwas wie ein Star - man nennt sie die Queen of Mod, und ihre Arbeiten sind in allen großen Wohnmagazinen erschienen). An diesem Wochenende ist sie zu Gast, um über ihren Mix aus zurückhaltendem Glamour bei der Renovierung eines klassischen Beaux-Arts-Penthouse-Apartments in [...]

Es ist ganz natürlich, dass man von seinen Reisen beeinflusst wird und sein Zuhause mit Souvenirs ausstattet. Nach einem Urlaub im Südwesten habe ich mich zum Beispiel in den Wüstenstil verliebt und prompt ein paar getopfte Sukkulenten, eine Cosanti-Windglocke und ein paar Kissen in dem in Europa so beliebten Pfirsich-Korallen-Farbton gekauft.

Als ich klein war, entschied sich meine Mutter für eine schlichte Decke mit zartrosa Blumen für mein Bett, die hübsch genug für ein kleines Mädchen war, aber auch anspruchsvoll genug, um mich durch das ganze College zu begleiten. Nach ihrem Vorbild habe ich nach etwas Ähnlichem für meinen eigenen kleinen Sohn gesucht und [...]

Vor einiger Zeit haben wir über La Suite Cassis berichtet, ein kleines Gästehaus in einem alten Fischerdorf an der Mittelmeerküste, und seitdem bewundern wir die exotischen Schlafzimmer immer wieder. Der in Cassis ansässige deutsche Stylist und Besitzer des Gästehauses, Herbert Hufnagel, wollte in seinem Haus den Minimalismus der Jahrhundertmitte mit Tribal-Prints und kräftigen Farbblöcken [...]

Damals, als Laura Jones und ich uns eine Wohnung an der Ecke First Avenue und First Street im New Yorker East Village teilten, hatten wir zwei winzige Schlafzimmer neben einem offenen Wohnbereich. Das einzige Mal, dass wir uns in das Dreieck Herd/Spüle/Kühlschrank wagten, war, um Kaffee zu kochen, eine Schüssel Müsli zu essen oder vielleicht Brokkoli zu dämpfen. Wir [...]

SieMatic ist seit 1929 im Geschäft und gehört zu einer Gruppe deutscher Unternehmen, die sich auf Präzisionsküchensysteme spezialisiert haben, die in Deutschland entworfen und hergestellt werden. Was die Marke von anderen unterscheidet, ist ihr langjähriger Ansatz, Küchenschränke als Möbel zu betrachten. SieMatic begann mit der Herstellung von Küchenkommoden, die an Geschirrschränke angelehnt waren. Und das neueste Modell, die minimalistische SieMatic 29, ist inspiriert von [...]

Eines unserer absoluten Lieblingsdesignziele? Das minimalistische Bauernhaus Casa No Tempo in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal. Heute werfen wir einen Blick auf die Schlafzimmer, die mit Möbeln von De La Espada, Neri & Hu und Luca Nichetto ausgestattet sind. Möchten Sie den gleichen Look haben? Hier sind einige Ideen. Oben: Das Wohnzimmer im Casa No Tempo ist [...]

Es gibt bestimmte Tricks, die sich die Pariser Innenarchitektin Marianne Evennou zu eigen gemacht hat. So wagt sie sich zum Beispiel an Farben heran und streicht die Räume immer in mehr als einem Farbton: “Farben”, sagt sie, “sind wie Musiknoten - sie sind alle gut, man muss sie nur anpassen, damit sie eine schöne Melodie ergeben.” Und sie findet immer [...]

“Colors makes people happy,” says Christina Lundsteen of the potent hues and patterns on her velvet cushions. The Danish designer initially worked in fashion; in 2006, she launched her own workshop and has been stitching pillows ever since. Christina sells her line on her own site and via retailers the world over. Each cushion is […]

Rearranging, sanitizing, trying to stay healthy–and taking photos. These last few cooped-up weeks have been a time of interior introspection. And an opportunity to take part in some Instagram Show and Tell. For design voyeurs, there’s been a steady flow of inspiration to distract from the news and the fear. Here, a dozen inside looks […]

Lots of people get lost in novels; architect Mariana de Delás’s client wanted to curl up and live in her favorite book. Italo Calvino’s The Baron in the Trees is a fable about an 18th century young baron who breaks away from his restricted life by climbing into the tree canopy and leading a rich […]

When I was little, I had a child-size picnic basket, complete with mini teacups, saucers, faux-enamel flatware, and napkins. It all came packaged in a dark-brown wicker basket, which to my child-brain seemed like the most valuable treasure chest imaginable. The real star, though, was the pink gingham lining that held everything in place. It […]

When it comes to remodels, we all know that kitchens are the biggest money sink of all. That’s why we’re big fans of budget rehabs that make creative use of low-cost materials. But sometimes even these minimal kitchen makeovers can be out of range, especially if you’ve just spent your last red cent on purchasing your […]

Made in Los Angeles of 100 percent linen, Cisco Home’s new line of bed linens feature a subtle elegance and come in shades of Belgian-inspired grays and browns, with contrasting piping. Above: Solace Duvet Cover and Shams with Piping in rice paper; $475 for the twin set (but available in all standard bed sizes). Above: […]

When my husband, Josh, and I moved to Brooklyn Heights a few years ago, we were lucky enough to find a parlor floor flat that hadn’t been updated for a couple of decades, so it was a blank slate. The kitchen in particular needed work, so we called on our friend Malachi Connolly, a New […]

Designers often say that the best renovations come about after you’ve actually clocked some time living in a space, so that you can have a better understanding of how your home supports (or hinders) your daily routine. Architect Jack Tsai’s clients, a couple in their 60s, had 15 years to figure out what was wrong […]

Yesterday, we toured the Brooklyn townhouse that architect Elizabeth Roberts of Elizabeth Roberts Design/Ensemble Architecture reinvented as a Greenhouse for Living. Today, we’re dissecting its rustic-luxe kitchen tailored for a couple who love to cook. Kitchen photography by Dustin Aksland. Above: Owners Allison Freedman Weisberg and Peter Barker-Huelster requested a cozy yet spacious kitchen: “They […]

Lambs & Lions of Berlin are the masterminds behind the San Giorgio Mykonos Hotel, on the Greek island of Mykonos, home to some of the most laid-back luxurious–and romantic–bedrooms we’ve ever come across. Here are the design elements to re-create your own islands-inspired honeymoon suite.  Above: Airy white quarters at the San Giorgio Mykonos Hotel, mosquito […]

At The Three Horseshoes, a 17th-century pub in Somerset, England, former gallerist and antiques collector Max Wigram worked with interior designer Frances Penn to create five guest rooms using soft yet colorful tones, reclaimed oak floors, and carefully selected antique furnishings. Here’s a look at the bedroom’s key sources, from yardage to fixtures, in order […]

A few years back, Paris interior designer Marianne Evennou worked on a family house in Neuilly and along the way became friends with the owners. When their now twenty-something-year-old daughter and son, Lola and Joseph, went in on Paris apartment together, Evennou was again summoned. Having bought what the designer describes as “the rare gem […]

Here’s a kitchen that thoughtfully references the period and place the home was built (sometime in the 19th century, in London), yet feels thoroughly modern. It belongs to ceramic tile designer Sophie Caulfeild and her husband, James, a fund manager. The two hired architect Thom Brisco, of Brisco Loran, last year to brighten, update, and […]

I dream of unadorned kitchen cabinets that are inexpensive to fabricate and easy to use. This is how I discovered the cutout drawer and cabinet pull. As much as the next person, I do a lot of swooning over open shelving. The reality of my small kitchen and obsessively ordered personality, however, is that I […]

Irish jewelry designer Penny Winter recently restored a villa in the heart of Lamu Old Town to its former glory and now rents it out to travelers seeking an out-of-the-ordinary African experience. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001, Lamu Old Town is regarded as one of the oldest and best preserved Swahili settlements […]

Noted recently: A former hay loft in a farmhouse on the small island of Föhr (technically belonging to the Nordfriesland district of Germany) in the North Sea. Architects Karin Matz of Sweden and Francesco Di Gregorio of Italy took their cues from traditional Frisian style: Think shades of blue, elements of the nautical (a nod to the island’s […]

“Meadowview” is an unlikely name for a modern house located on the edge of a ribbon development in Bedfordshire, UK. Look closer, and you’ll understand. Situated on a plot of land overlooking a housing development on one side and arable fields on the other, this house by London architecture firm Platform 5 was designed to […]

I don’t have anything against the idea of TV; in fact, I consider TV to be the new novel. When I power-watch three or four—OK, five—episodes, I get the same woozy, drugged-out high as from being lost in a book. What I hate is how a TV looks, a black hole on the wall trying […]

The Camargue, in the South of France, is beloved for its wild attractions: salt marshes, beaches, white horses, flamingos, and miniatures bulls. Located a 20 minutes drive from Arles, the area is best known for its Parc National de Camargue.  And it’s newly on the style map thanks to filmmaker-turned-hospitality impresario Jean-Pierre Marois. Marois’s family […]

Designer Gesa Hansen and restaurateur Charles Compagnon met eight years ago in one of his Paris establishments.  At the time, she was a single mother living a very urban life with her baby daughter—see A Scandi Furniture Designer’s Apartment on the Place de la République—and he was making a name for himself in the hospitality […]

Beaux arts grandeur meets modern Manhattan in the form of the NoMad Hotel, with atmospheric, dimly lit interiors by famed French designer Jacques Garcia. Located in a grand turn-of-the-century Beaux Arts building north of Madison Square Park (hence the name), the hotel speaks of another time and place. Garcia aimed to create a residential feel […]

Robert De Niro fell under the spell of Belgian design impresario Axel Vervoordt after discovering his work at the NYC Winter Antiques Show (others who have succumbed include Sting and Kanye West, as well as legions of deep-pocketed, under-the-radar patrons). So when De Niro was casting around for design ideas for his 2,800-square-foot penthouse suite […]

Former House Beautiful editor in chief Sophie Donelson has a new book out this week—Uncommon Kitchens: A Revolutionary Approach to the Most Popular Room in the House (Abrams)—and it’s filled with the kind of lived-in, characterful kitchens we so admire here at Remodelista. Her impetus for writing it? “I felt like kitchen design was getting […]

A star fashion stylist in NYC for nearly 30 years, Scott Newkirk has also been one to watch in the world of interiors, thanks to his effortlessly chic quarters. In Brooklyn, he kept home in a former fire station with burlap curtains and art displayed every which way (including with masking tape as instant wall […]

Whenever Juli and John of Kitka Design in Toronto make a design pronouncement or a product endorsement, we take note. Their favorite purchase? A bed from Swedish company Carpe Diem. Here’s what Juli and John say: “Never. Slept. Better. We are shocked at how different this bed is from all previous experiences. We love its […]

Putting on a favorite pair of pajamas is a sure-bet way to unwind. Here, the sleepwear that we swear by—plus some investment pieces that we dream about. Do you have a favorite? Let us know. Above: We all like the new home collection from Japanese company Arts & Science: the Night Shirt made from 100 percent […]

Is there any space more sacred than a teenage girl’s bedroom? Ideally, it’s a place for homework, primping, preening, and escaping (from parents). When Clementine (she’s the daughter of Gardenista editor Michelle) was envisioning the design for her new bedroom, which she moved into two years ago, she wanted it to be “peaceful and simple. […]

Guests of Rivertown Lodge in Hudson, NY, are often loath to leave. We ourselves frequently return by perusing the photos from our feature A Hotel with a Sense of Place. Proprietors Ray Pirkle and Kim Bucci found themselves responding so often to requests for extended stays and area rental recommendations that they decided to come […]

There is no getting around the fact that microwaves are convenient. But there are downsides: Countertop models take up valuable counter space. And there is the aesthetic consideration: Have you ever loved the looks of a microwave? Moving to a built-in microwave can open up your counter, clear visual blight, and create an integrated look. In the microwave […]
