Located near Bab Ksour, a few minutes from Djam El Fn’a Square in Marrakesh, the Riad Dixneuf la Ksor was designed by the same team behind the famous L’Heure Bleue in Essaoira. The French proprietors aimed to create a hotel that “marries traditional architecture and modernity.” Among the details we admire: the marble bathrooms; the […]

Lately we’ve been noticing a comeback of Dickensian curtained beds: canopy varieties with wrap-around drapery and built-in nooks and alcoves that become snug bed-boxes when the curtains are drawn. Both originally added warmth, darkness, and a bit of privacy and make for extra restful hibernation today. All you need is a candlestick for the bedside. […]

“Why match when you can mix?” asks Brisbane, Australia, interior designer Anna Spiro. Her work is an exuberant mashup of patterns and vintage furnishings that somehow all connect, especially in her recent upgrade of a defunct seaside motel. Situated in Cabarita Beach, a sleepy surfer hangout midway between Australia’s Gold Coast and Byron Bay, the […]

Mirko Beetschen and Stephane Houlmann of Zürich’s Bergdorf Agency for Concepts and Communication recently collaborated with architect Nick Ruef on the remodel of a 200-year-old chalet in the Bernese Oberland.

The New York Post dubbed Lili St. Cyr “the Kim Kardashian of her day.” A burlesque performer known for her bubble bath strip tease, St. Cyr got her big break in 1951 when she was charged with indecent exposure while making a splash at Ciro’s in LA. During her heyday, St. Cyr lived in a […]

You haven’t seen pink like this before–stealth pink–hiding beneath a rumpled duvet or right out in the open (like the shockingly bright linen sheets from Bodie and Fou). Here are five of our favorite rose-colored sheet sets. Above: A pink stonewashed Linen Duvet Cover is £220 from Bodie and Fou; photograph by François Kong, styling […]

Stephen O’Sullivan felt ready for a better bath. The dual Irish-French citizen had been living in his apartment in Paris’s 9th for almost 20 years when he gave architect Suleïma Ben Achour a shout. The daughter of an old friend of his, Suleïma, a 2016 graduate of the École Nationale d’Architecture de Paris la Villette, […]

The farmhouse was an impulse purchase: Ellen Dixdotter, Jacob Holst, and their two young kids had recently moved from Stockholm to Copenhagen when, on a weekend getaway, they decided to take a look at real estate site Hemnet. “It’s not that we’re financially equipped for spontaneous house buying,” Ellen tells us, “but this old place, […]

Where does someone like Nicole Kidman go for a family vacation with horseback riding, a mineral pool, tennis—and no gawkers. She might consider the new Copperstone Estate just inland from Byron Bay on Australia’s NSW North Coast. The enclave is the latest project of Emma and Tom Lane, Sydney-based developers of luxe Australian heritage-style rental […]

A while back we featured the Hotel Henriette, a 30-year-old hotel renovated by Vanessa Scoffier of Les Nouveaux Décorateurs. Each guest room has a different pastel palette, featuring paints mixed by Scoffier herself and outfitted with personal finds from Les Puces du Design and more. Here’s a look at one of our favorite rooms, plus a few sources […]

Angela’s is an unassuming seafood restaurant overlooking the harbor in Margate, on the tip of East Kent. Moments from the beach, it serves simple, local seafood and seasonal vegetable dishes. Round the corner is Dory’s, Angela’s “little sister”—an informal seafood bar. It too is known for its impeccable sourcing, minimal waste, and pared-back cooking. “Our […]

There are small spaces, and then there are really small spaces. The apartment of Craig Ross and his partner, Jessie, falls into the latter category. At just under 400-square feet, their flat in Kentish Town, north London, on the first floor of a Victorian townhouse, has just three rooms—which means the kitchen has to also […]

So many renovations we see nowadays entail brightening up interiors and whiting out—quite literally—what was originally there. What we admire about interior designer Frances Merrill, of Reath Design in Los Angeles, is her unique, trend-bucking strategy: rather than open up spaces and painting everything white, she creates cocoons of color, pattern, and moody warmth. This […]

Imagine an extra room becoming available in your home? The owner of this little retreat is a single father who lives with his teenaged son and 10-year-old daughter in Paris’s 19th in an art deco brick apartment building. When the large studio upstairs became available, he and the only other family living in the small […]

We’ve been following chef David Tanis over the years and wondering how he pulls it all off; after heading up the kitchen at Chez Panisse, he made an arrangement with Alice Waters that allowed him to work half time in the Berkeley, California, restaurant and live half time in Paris, where he ran an under-the-radar […]

When photographer Aya Brackett and her husband, Corey John Creasey, a freelance film director, wanted to upgrade the kitchen of their Oakland, California, home, they had to marry their modern sensibilities and utilitarian needs with the character of their “funky, hand-built” house. “It’s a hodgepodge,” she says, built partly in 1895 and partly in the […]

The art of designing (and redesigning) a home is an act of expression available to all: It’s what Remodelista is all about. The creating, designing, imagining what will be—this is the fun part. And then there’s the upkeep; the less-than-thrilling (read: dreaded) part. The good news? Our relationship with cleaning is one thing that we […]

We’ve been followers of German designer Katrin Arens, an Italy-based master of old-as-new, for a while now. Arens, who is both a furniture and interior designer by trade, has been giving new life to castoff materials for more than 20 years through her furniture, kitchen, and object designs—long before the reclaimed wood trend came about. […]

When the apartment above Marie-Sixtine’s flagship store in Paris’s 11th Arrondissement opened up, the two-year-old fashion line decided to apply its look to interiors. Working with art director/designer Sandrine Place and architect Baptiste Legué, the brand dreamed up Chez Marie-Sixtine, a candy-colored “confidential cocoon” cast in the image of the boho gamine its crop tops and playsuits are made for. In lieu of a […]

What does it take to find the romantic ruin with your name on it? For London art director Sandy Suffield the process was much like online dating: “For months, I obsessively trawled websites dedicated to derelict buildings. I looked at an embarrassing number,” she tells us. “And after a couple of abortive attempts with two […]

Charged with rethinking a 10-year-old, water-damaged shoebox apartment on New York’s Upper West Side, the team at Workstead transformed it into a model of style and efficiency via extensive millwork installations.

When it came time for Gillian Stevens to remodel her dated Vancouver kitchen (“let’s just say it needed some help,” she summarizes), she did what her training as a photographer had always taught her to do: look for light.

London designer Harriet Anstruther (a member of the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory and author of the design book Reveal: Interior Design as a Reflection of Who We Are) worked with architect Alex Michaelis (a lifelong friend) on her streamlined yet luxe kitchen in an 1840s landmarked London townhouse. Marble? Check. Unlacquered brass? Check. Prouve? Yes. We’ve […]

We love every inch of this compact 14-by-10-foot kitchen in the Peckham neighborhood of London. Designed by architect Jonathan Nicholls and his partner, Alex Randall, a lighting designer, it occupies the rear extension of their Victorian home. While many architects find the experience of designing their own home an existential nightmare, Nicholls found it be […]

Luxe alert. Interior designers Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe create fully detailed interiors that achieve that rare feat of feeling inspired rather than overly done. The two began their design partnership in NYC but, fittingly, founded their firm and home furnishings store, Nicky Kehoe, in LA: their work—and the new and vintage goods they sell—have […]

Luke McLaren and Rob Excell have been friends since childhood. They both went on to become architects and to found the award-winning London firm McLaren Excell, members of the Remodelista Architect and Designer Directory. The two are bold minimalists: they describe the look they’re after as “a robust simplicity.” But their team of 14 are […]

Named for the water ferns that grow along the Vistula River, Salvinia Lodge is located on the Vistula Spit in Poland, a Baltic coast resort area 30 kilometers from Gdansk.
