Most kids’ rooms are stopgap affairs: basic-at-best overrun by toys and stuffed animals. After all, childhood is brief. Or is it? The parents of the siblings who occupy this compact suite in a 1905 NYC building (a converted sewing factory) decided it was worth investing in quarters their kids, now ages three and five, can share for years to come. […]

When art stars Brice and Helen Marden took over the Hotel Tivoli, the Wall Street Journal likened the project to Martin Scorsese deciding to run a diner. Julie recently checked in for a night. She returned beyond impressed–and ready to channel their fearless way with color (French’s Mustard yellow, included). Above: The Mardens remodeled the […]

Over the years Erin Boyle has been chronicling her life in a tiny apartment and sharing her insights with us on Gardenista (she’s the site’s former associate editor, now a contributor) and Remodelista. We’re happy to spread the word that she’s just come out with a book, Simple Matters: Living with Less and Ending Up with More (Abrams). While this year’s […]

We leap to attention whenever Quintana Partners complete a project. Based in Barcelona and Menorca, Spain, interior designers Pol Castells and Benito Escat specialize in what they term “giving waste a second chance.” Translation: they like to begin with historic, often derelict structures and deftly renew them by exposing hidden layers—”the beauty behind all the […]

Not long ago, we spotted a charming Copenhagen apartment on the blog Scandinavia Standard. The home’s interior style is hard to define—it’s a compelling mix of Asian artwork, mid-century lines, rustic antiques, bohemian coziness, and, of course, Scandi sensibility—but the overall effect is balanced and appealing. It helps that the bones of the place come […]

Ada Egloff and Rick Banister bought their Victorian row house in South Philly for a steal back in 2007, when they were fresh out of college: “Philadelphia real estate: How is the secret not yet out?” she asks. They’ve been chipping away at their place themselves ever since. And though neither came to the project with […]

Founded by Lela Barker, From Morocco with Love imports artisan-made goods from Morocco, with a portion of the proceeds going to local schools and charities. We especially like the Embroidered Bed Linens, made from heavyweight 100 percent cotton with traditional Fez embroidery. According to Barker, “a purchase of this product directly supports talented craftsmen in […]

Thanks to my Instagram habit, I’m stopped in my tracks daily by the sets and still lifes that Scandinavian stylists create for clients like Iitalla and Asun. So clean. So magically simple. So serene. How does this talent, I always wonder, translate at home? Not surprisingly, it translates exceptionally well. Here’s a perfect example: Star Finnish interiors and prop stylist Anna Pirkola (@annapirkola) […]

In a Brooklyn townhouse gut renovation by architect Elizabeth Roberts, the parlor floor kitchen was opened up with steel-framed windows, a new kitchen island, and a fireplace turned wood-fired grill (the owners cook often). Here’s a look at the individual elements to borrow a few ideas for your own kitchen. Above: The kitchen is at […]

Yesterday, we featured Boulevard Leopold, a 19th century B &B in the heart of Antwerp. We especially like the moody Old World glamor of the bedrooms, which feature touches of black velvet, brocade, and antique tapestry panels. For a similar look, see our sources below. Above: Photograph by Ben Lambers and Tatjana Quax for Design […]

Interior designer Marianne Evennou, our French doyenne of color, composition, and small-space living, has just published her first book. Un Intérieur à Soi (loose translation: “A Place of One’s Own”) is a compendium of her signature moves—interior windows, exposed beams, duo-toned walls, bonbon box-sized kitchens, and black Bakelite light switches—that dazzle us over and over. […]

We’ve been longtime fans of High Road House, a London hotel and members’ club (it’s part of the Soho House group), so when we noticed that it had recently been overhauled by Alexander Waterworth Interiors, we took note. Located on the site of the historic Fouberts Hotel, in Chiswick, West London, High Road House opened […]

The term “loving hands at home” is typically applied derisively to crafts projects, but it feels perfect—in nothing but a positive way—for this high-style, DIY cabin remodel. That’s especially true when you know the backstory: Melbourne interior designer Andrea Moore of Studio Moore teamed up with her father, Lindsay Moore, a semi-retired veterinarian with #skillz, […]

Ed and Reema Stanbury are the co-founders of BLOK London, a boutique gym that, according to Vogue U.K., “is not a regular gym; it’s a cool gym.” Its three locations offer cool classes like “Animal Movement” (which “draws on the basics of animal motion”) and “BLOKBreath” (“dedicated to unlocking the benefits of conscious breathing”), alongside […]

Our Cecilie Manz fandom began a decade ago with her glamorous take on industrial lighting, the Caravaggio Pendant (see Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home, page 314). We’ve since featured the Danish designer’s Minima Carafe, Muuto Workshop Chair, and Aitio Shelves for Iittala, among others, always impressed by the cerebral charm and simplicity of her work. […]

We are loving the anti-kitchen kitchen trend we’ve been noticing of late. Instead of installing monolith walls of built-in cabinets and big shiny appliances, some designers are choosing to treat the room more like a living or family room and selecting finishes and furniture-like units to match. A while back, Swedish kitchen company Nordiska Kök […]

Loren Madsen, an installation sculpture artist, is the winner in our Reader-Submitted Bedroom Space category in our first annual Considered Design Awards. Loren designed and built the bedroom with his wife, Libbe, on rural forested land in Laytonville, California.  For the Madsens, both California natives, their wild mountain home was a long journey in the […]

This week we’re revisiting some of the most popular DIY stories from our archives. Read on for end-of-summer project inspiration: By day, Maiju Saha works as a social media marketing specialist and campaign designer. By night and on weekends, the mother of three dives into home improvement projects and blogs about them. Maiju and her […]

I’ve always believed that, budget allowing, it is better to invest in well-made products. Not only do goods that have been painstakingly crafted from the finest materials bring more “joy,” as Marie Kondo would say, but also they last longer. That said, in every price-to-quality ratio, there is a tipping point where one has to […]

Ideal for small spaces, U-shaped kitchens (sometimes called C-shaped kitchens) can accommodate only one or two cooks, depending on the width of the U. As its name suggests, this configuration features a horseshoe-shaped work area, with cabinets and counters running around three sides with an open end for access. At its most narrow, it can […]

Teruskan, akui saja. Anda berangan tentang almari yang sempurna, tenang, dan bebas kekacauan (kami juga). Sama ada anda sedang mengubah bilik yang tidak digunakan menjadi almari berjalan atau bergelut dengan almari pangsapuri yang kecil, berikut adalah lima sistem penyimpanan almari yang patut dipertimbangkan. (Nota: Lihat Petua Mengatur Almari Unclutterer untuk memulakan anda.) Di atas: Syarikat Itali Poliform menawarkan […]

Rumah Rawene, sebuah kompleks kesedaran yang direka untuk seorang penyembuh bunyi oleh Stevens Lawson Architects dan Katie Lockhart Studio, terletak di pinggir bandar Westmere, Auckland. Para arkitek membina rumah kayu tanpa keluli dengan dinding konkrit tuang, bumbung cerun curam berlapis sirap cedar, dan teknik reka bentuk pasif bagi meminimumkan toksin dan […]

Di kejiranan Stoke Newington di London, pereka grafik Martina Casonato dan tunangnya mereka bentuk pengubahsuaian pertama mereka dengan rasa tenang, kehangatan, dan kesederhanaan, mengubah loteng tingkat atas menjadi bilik tidur utama dan menghias ruang itu dengan gaya yang elegan tetapi ringkas. Di sini, kami memperincikan elemen utama penampilan ini: Di atas: Foto oleh Martina […]

Dalam spektrum merah, daripada yang menyala hingga yang tenang, burgundy tergolong dalam kategori kedua dan merupakan rona yang mudah serta menenangkan untuk dihuni. Mungkin inilah yang menjelaskan mengapa ia kini menjadi warna yang sedang hangat. Merah wain mungkin dikaitkan dengan suasana baronial, tetapi ia berfungsi dengan sangat baik sebagai aksen menonjol di dapur, sama ada kontemporari atau lama […]

Serahkan kepada seorang penata botani untuk menghasilkan dapur seperti ini: tenang dan cerah, dengan pemasangan paparan botani kering dan hidup. Inilah dapur Yasuyo Harvey, yang memulakan kerjayanya di London bekerja dengan pereka Faye Toogood. Yasuyo dan suaminya, Phil, mengubah suai dapur rumah mereka yang dibina pada tahun 1930-an […]

“Wes Anderson bertemu Provençal.” Pereka Chris Graves (daripada Clarence & Graves) sedang menggambarkan visinya untuk pengubahsuaian dapurnya. Tetapi apa maksudnya sebenarnya? Pertama sekali, palet yang tidak dapat dilupakan, dalam kes ini “palet lembut yang indah berwarna merah jambu, hitam dan hijau”; kedua, rasa nostalgia terhadap masa lalu melalui barangan vintaj dan antik yang unik. […]

Laman web Perancis The Socialite Family mencatatkan bagaimana golongan “cerdas dan bergaya”—dan berkemampuan tinggi—hidup di Eropah. Ini bukan dunia istana pusaka tetapi selera modenis yang diterapkan pada pangsapuri lama Paris dan pondok percutian hipster. Salah satu obsesi TSL yang paling disukai tergolong dalam kumpulan kedua: kabin percutian pereka pakaian kanak-kanak British Louisa Rowland di Cap Ferret. Tidak […]

Di kampung Kamenná Lhota di Bohemia Selatan, Rumah Oskar adalah kediaman peribadi arkitek berpangkalan di Prague, Jan Žaloudek—sebuah tempat percutian untuk dirinya dan isterinya, ahli sejarah seni dan penulis Jolanta Trojak—dalam bekas taman dan lumbung Barok sebuah château jiran. Rumah itu, yang dinamakan sempena komposer Oskar Nedbal, mengambil inspirasi daripada bahasa seni bina luar bandar dan konsep […]

Rumah bandar Victoria di Primrose Hill, London telah “dibingkai oleh kontraktor,” kata pengurus projek Emily Girling. Ini bukan dimaksudkan sebagai pujian. Girling adalah ahli pasukan kecil di Mark Lewis Interior Design, dan pemulihan megah dengan sentuhan bersejarah adalah kepakaran Lewis: lihat, contohnya, “Loft Victoria Moden” dalam […]

Kami telah lama mengagumi dekorasi dalaman yang mengundang di Ett Hem, sebuah hotel di Stockholm, Sweden, yang direka oleh Ilse Crawford dari Studioilse. Palet warna bilik tetamu adalah “jenis tona yang menjadikan kulit manusia kelihatan cantik,” kata Crawford kepada Monocle pada tahun 2012. Di sini, sebuah suite tetamu yang diilhamkan oleh lukisan Carl Larsson adalah satu gaya yang […]

“Miss Vicky, seperti yang saya panggil dengan penuh kasih sayang, adalah seorang wanita penuh jiwa dengan sedikit kelikatan,” kata Angela Medlin sebagai pengenalan kepada rumah pondok Victoria 1906 miliknya di Sunnyside, Portland, Oregon. Medlin adalah seorang pereka fesyen dan menggambarkan dirinya sebagai “creativepreneur” yang mengkhusus dalam pakaian sukan: satu siri tugasan yang melibatkan pengawasan koleksi pakaian untuk Adidas dan Jordan Brand milik Nike […]

Christèle dan Hubert berpindah dari Paris ke bandar kecil Lectoure di barat daya Perancis, mengambil alih pemulihan sebuah kilang penyamakan kulit diraja abad ke-18. Kini beroperasi sebagai Manufacture Royale de Lectoure, sebuah penginapan luas dengan sarapan pagi, ia termasuk suite taman yang dipanggil “Jardin” yang membuka terus ke taman hartanah itu. Christèle dan Hubert […]

Betul di tengah-tengah Colaba yang sibuk – bahagian paling selatan Mumbai, yang dahulunya menjadi kawasan kediaman British – daerah yang pernah menjadi tumpuan pelancong ini kini sedang mengalami kebangkitan moden. Salah satu perniagaan baharu yang muncul di kawasan ini ialah Abode, sebuah hotel dua tingkat dengan 20 bilik dalam sebuah bangunan bersejarah yang menghormati masa lalu bohemia Bombay. Dibuka tahun lalu […]

Terletak di dalam kawasan hutan di sepanjang garis pantai Utara Zealand, Denmark, Guest House No.16 dibina pada tahun 1934 sebagai aneks kepada sebuah rumah tetamu bergaya Itali. Baru-baru ini dibayangkan semula oleh firma Copenhagen Norm Architects, vila ini telah dikemas kini dengan stuko baharu, panelling, tangga, dan penutup tingkap, memulihkan ciri Neoklasiknya dengan perincian terukur. Cahaya siang bergerak merentasi […]

Beberapa ketika lalu kami singgah di rumah ladang tahun 1880-an milik artis Dunja Von Stoddard di Rhinebeck, New York, dan amat mengagumi dapurnya. Baru-baru ini Dunja mengubah suai ruang itu, jadi semasa lawatan ke Lembah Hudson, saya singgah semula untuk melihatnya sekali lagi. Dapur itu mungkin kelihatan bersejarah (rangka kayu terdedah, lantai papan lebar, kaunter batu sabun), tetapi […]

If we were to describe this kitchen using words only and no images, you’d be forgiven if the word “tacky” comes to mind. Let’s give it a try: This kitchen in Berlin features minimalist cabinets with fronts in a variety of colors—red, green, orange, white, and blue. See what we mean? Fortunately, we have images […]

On a visit to Parma Lilac, interior designer Janie Jackson’s house converted into her showroom in Notting Hill, London, we taken by these custom shutters of opal Perspex (the UK name for Plexiglas) with chrome hinges.

Ahoy, all you color- and pattern-averse people! Come take a look at the latest from Vanderhurd, designer Christine Van Der Hurd’s London-based rug and textile company which specializes in combining kindred colors and prints.
