Is it really September? We’ve got our sights set on delaying the fall reentry with a trip to Ibiza. Not the ear-plugs-required, clubby side of the island, thank you; we’re heading inland, straight to La Granja, a new hotel set on a 16th-century finca amid acres of well-tended farmland, with slow-food workshops, yoga, and full-moon rituals included. Photography […]

Set in a 1970s brutalist bank building on Stockholm’s Brunkebergstorg Square, the new Hobo Hotel  is positioning itself as a social space for creatives to gather and volley ideas. In addition to a cafe and bar/restaurant, it has a monthly schedule of performances and panel discussions, and an ongoing pop-up area off the lobby for local […]

Louisa Grey creates interiors that promote wellness. Her design firm, House of Grey, practices what she calls “circular salutogenic design,” which translates as living quarters that are healthful to humans and gentle on our planet. And lovely to be in, too. A recently completed residence in London’s Gasholders building in King’s Cross exemplifies the House […]

In 2005, San Francisco-based photographer Leslie Williamson decided to make a list of the houses of her favorite architects and designers with the idea of visiting them all in her lifetime. As she was creating her lineup, she realized there wasn’t a book that collectively documented these dwellings, and resolved to create one herself. That was the […]

The owner of a remodeled house in Washington, DC, has an unshakable obsession with European design (we can relate) and is willing to source far and wide to get it. So far that she enlisted designers Studio Oink from Leipzig, Germany, and had a load of EU products rounded up and shipped by crate. The […]

In the redesign of a colonial house in Bellport, New York, by French designer C. S. Valentin, the interiors have a distinct look balancing the colonial architecture with midcentury furniture, modern textiles, and nervy color. Case in point? The upstairs bedroom. Here we take a closer look at Valentin’s formula. Above: A full view of the bedroom […]

This is the story of a postponed remodel that turned a humble Victorian house in an inner suburb of Melbourne, Australia, into an unexpected international design star. Long owned and occupied by two sisters who work in government and public health, the Bent Street project, as its known, was in need of upgrading. Back in […]

Shaws apron sinks, brass gooseneck bridge faucets, and cast bronze hardware are among the ingredients that go into every Mark Lewis kitchen design. Lewis runs his own London interior design firm and is known for inventively channeling centuries past. He’s a stickler for detail—so much so that when he couldn’t find cabinet pulls shelf brackets […]

To quote Shakespeare, it was the winter of my discontent (sleeping wise). Our stuffy bedroom has been occasionally stifling (and when we open the window a crack, Arctic). Every morning we woke up in a tangle of slippery sheets. The solution turned out to be thicker, sturdier percale (not sateen!) sheets that are breathable and […]

To explore the quiet, austere beauty of classical Scandinavian design, take a look at Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi’s turn-of-the-20th-century domestic scenes. Rediscovered of late, his work is often cited as a source of inspiration for contemporary interiors, including London Couturier Anna Valentine’s Kitchen and our own Julie Carlson’s apartment remodel (stay tuned for more on […]

Stilleben, a design store in the heart of Copenhagen, specializes in household objects that “reflect the time we live in.” In addition to selling work by contemporary artisans, the brand has its own collections of ceramics, glass, and prints, even hair clips. A few years ago, Stilleben Kitchens was added to the roster. Created by […]

The kitchen equivalent of “business in the front, party in the back”? Cabinets that are neutral on the outside and—surprise!—have a wash of color on the inside. Here are 5 sightings. Above: In Color Meets Neutrals: A Stylist’s Reimagined 1850s Brooklyn Brownstone, open white oak shelving has a surprising, fresh wash of poppy red. Photograph […]

Amanda Pays and Corbin Bernsen say they’ve lost count of the remodeling projects they’ve taken on together. But we’ve clocked at least eight full house resuscitations in the last decade or so. The couple met in 1988 as actors and early in their relationship, when Amanda recommended a new look for Corbin’s bachelor pad, they […]

The briefing: to create a “wide and open layout with a calming atmosphere”—oh, and a lot of built-in storage. The space itself, a flat in a late-19th-century apartment building in Berlin’s Wilmersdorf district, came with its original paneled doors and French windows. The wrinkle? The structure was in the midst of being overhauled by its […]

Tuba, a happening restaurant and bar with rooms to rent, is located on a rocky cove in Marseille in what was formerly a scuba diving center. The brainchild of two childhood friends who dreamed of building their own hangout, it opened during the height of the pandemic as an all-hands on deck situation. Film producer […]

LA creative director and designer Sarah Sherman Samuel and her husband, Rupert Samuel, thought nothing of tearing out the cabinets in their LA bungalow with their own bare hands. We’ve been watching them in action via Samuel’s blog Smitten Studio. The two are can-do sorts, but not so handy that they could tackle building the […]

“I’m interested in trying new things, building stuff, staying curious, being outside, and spending time with friends,” said Greg Hennes. “If I get curious about something in my personal life, I’m likely to pursue it as an opportunity.” This is the short version of the founding story of the Jennings Hotel—a reincarnated five-room outfit in rural Joseph, […]

Marie Hennechart is a documentary-style photographer and self-described “good sport with a ready smile and updated Red Cross skills.” More often than not, she’s on the go—to cover a London and a Bay Area family swapping houses for Travel + Leisure magazine (which is where the two of us first crossed paths), or to Sicily […]

Type “cabinet styles” into Google Images (like we did) and you’ll get an array of glossy, dated-looking wood cabinets with ornate arches, louvered doors, some even with inset stained glass. But we believe in the trend-resistant kitchen cabinet—something that will remain timeless and ensure you won’t want to start fresh every few years. We favor a […]

We love this concept, hotel apartments outfitted with stylish, utilitarian furniture and accessories from Muji. Whotells in Barcelona offers four distinct lodging options in different neighborhoods of the city, all furnished with Muji products (in four palettes: blue, green, orange and gray); think simple, functional Japanese design. The apartments are available on both a long […]

When graphic designer (and Remodelista reader) Davy Dooms purchased an 850-square-foot apartment located in an Art Nouveau house in Antwerp, his goal was to create a blank canvas. “In all my work projects, I start by defining a working color palette,” he says. “I did the same thing in the decorating and furnishing of my […]

Beneath the bed is some of the best storage real estate in the house. If you’d like to do something a little more intentional than just stuffing or kicking things under there, consider the under-bed storage solution. Designed in metal, wood, and soft or structured fabric, the right storage drawers and bags can make all […]

Conti, Cert., the Barcelona-based firm that garnered a spot on The Remodelista List: 20 Architects, Tastemakers, and Designers to Watch in 2023, recently reached out with a captivating new project they oversaw for friends-turned-clients. “They were in the process of buying this apartment, and wanted to redesign it completely. They were looking for more light, […]

If I had it my way, renting apartments in the States would be more like it is in Germany, where renters bring their own kitchen components from one rental to another. That way, I could make a one-time investment and save myself the grief of dodgy ovens and linoleum counters. Just give me a blank […]

Pevsner’s Architectural Guide: The Buildings of England details the style and history of every building of architectural significance in the country. England doesn’t suffer for lack of old buildings—there are 51 volumes in the series—but this manor still stands out. According to the guide on Lincolnshire, a county known for its rural beauty, “Few houses in […]

Spend any time cruising the Web lately and you can’t help but get caught up in the recent studies directly linking productivity (not to mention well being and happiness) to sleep. By now you’ve probably heard what a bedroom should and should not be: it should be a serene space sheltered from your busy life, […]

Truth in advertising? Brave New Eco is a design studio based in Brunswick, Australia, that, as its name implies, marries sustainable practices with daring modern style. A few years ago, the firm was brought on to conceive thoughtful finishes and custom millwork for a new build in West Bend—and make it all planet-friendly to boot. […]

Love the price and functionality of Ikea kitchen components but not the cabinet front choices? An array of new companies is offering custom cabinet fronts to pair with Ikea’s kitchen systems. “Ikea cabinets are like building blocks,” says Finnish company A.S. Helsingö. “The quality is solid,” adds John McDonald, founder of SemiHandmade. “And we especially love their price; […]

In the villa town of Långedrag, just outside Gothenburg, Artilleriet co-founder Christian Duivenvoorden lives with his partner, Björn, their son, Niko, and the family dog, Minou, in a 19th-century Jugend villa that has quietly evolved over time. Designed with the precept that a home is never finished, the house—like Artilleriet, the beloved Gothenburg design shop […]

Leanne Kilroy knows a good thing when she sees it. She fell hard for her future spouse, Eric Fulwiler, as a high school freshman in Newton, Massachusetts. “It is nuts to me that my husband was the 14-year-old with braces and a buzzcut that would pass me notes in math class!” she shares. “It especially […]

After earning an architectural interior design degree from the prestigious Inchbald School and working for two design firms in London’s Chelsea, Lonika Chande felt ready to strike out on her own. What she needed was an initial solo project to show what she can do. That commission came from Lonika’s mother, Lucy Dickens, an artist […]

We often recommend Ikea’s kitchen cabinets as a solid, bang-for-the-buck option for those looking to remodel. And nowadays, there are so many offshoot companies offering cabinet front styles specifically tailored to fit Ikea’s base cabinets that, if being economical is a priority, there’s little reason not to at least start with an Ikea skeleton. (See […]

The business of storing blankets is a risky one. If not stored properly, what was a beautiful wool throw last spring will be a moth-hole riddled rag in the fall. Enter the blanket chest (also called the “hope chest” in the American tradition), a hardwood or cedar box at the foot of the bed for the […]

Pernille and her family of four live a stairway away from her parents. The multi-generational group bought a historic house in Valby, in the southwest corner of Copenhagen, with plans to cohabitate. Pernille and crew have the ground floor with easy access to the yard, and her parents are on the parlor floor—each with mine […]

As the keeper of a vintage, ice-box white kitchen, I can’t help but wonder about life with a bit more color—and space, too. I look at classic British design as interpreted by Plain English and deVol and dream of making dinner surrounded by a new paint palette and pantries galore. Sara Aagaard, the owner, with […]

Impart a rustic vibe to the winter bedroom with a wool blanket (there are numerous advantages to wool; it’s a natural fiber that breathes in warm weather and insulates in cold, naturally regulating temperatures). Here’s roundup of ten good choices. Above: From new bedding brand Tekla, the Pure New Wool Blanket comes in a range […]

For a while, it was the mudroom that grabbed homebuyers’ attention as the most coveted tiny room of the house. The new status small space (according to our highly unscientific analysis)? The walk-in pantry. A while back, we spotted on the historical real estate site Inigo the extremely charming pantry of Matilda Goad, the talented […]

Years back, I went on a search for a clean-lined upholstered headboard. After a bit of research, I discovered a now-defunct custom maker in London called Headboard Ltd. For that simple and well-finished upholstered headboard look, here are our favorites readily available from stores stateside. Above: The West Elm Mod Upholstered Platform Bed is $1,999 […]

The back parlor of this 19th-century Brooklyn townhouse was converted into a small kitchen a while back. Its new owners, a couple with a young son, loved its original features, especially the stone mantel and 10-foot pocket doors, but otherwise wanted a clean slate. Their architect, Shauna McManus, was given the challenge of preserving the old parlor look while fitting in a lot […]

“If I can’t make it, I will buy vintage or reclaimed,” designer Francesca Gaskin told The Modern House, where we first spotted her personality-filled home in Bristol, England. True to her word, her kitchen is an artful amalgam of DIY, secondhand, and re-use. Sustainability was the motivating force behind her design decisions. “The only way […]
