You can describe San Francisco designer Jeff Schlarb's work with two words ... rad elegance. Classic yet contemporary with an artistic eye and a design bravery. Cool, collected and innovative, this Palo Alto home pulls no punches. Dinosaur bones in the living room and moss like carpet mounds in the bedroom, a killer art collection and a carefully curated collection of furniture. Rad elegance indeed.
I must admit I was fooled at first. You see I fell for the ornate architectural shell juxtaposed with the severely curated interiors. Luxury held on a very tight rein. Very intoxicating in its minimalism. But it's not real. It's a rendering by Ukraine-based Evgeniy Bulatnikov. Now if it was only real and not a beautiful dream. Sigh.
I'm finishing the week the way I started it with a dark and moody Copenhagen apartment by Rue Verte. Stylish modern living in a pared back classic shell.
You know it's not true. The Belgians just don't do greige. They do rich yet muted colour too. Blues and rusts and raspberries. Purples and oranges and ... grey and white. I am in love with the very Belgian look of these rooms by Antwerp-based Natalie Haegeman Interiors. Rich and refined, rustic and restrained.
This Victorian terrace home in London is a stunner. Left minimal due to it being a location home, I can just imagine these gloriously bright spaces with some personal touches and some plants added throughout. Loving all of the bright white walls and bits of pale grey, brass hardware and minimalist lighting and WHOA that herringbone oak parquet floor! A real beauty. Available via Shoot Factory.
