NEXT STOP…A WELL DESIGNED CITY!

Where in the world is Coco?

Hi everyone…thank you so much for you nice comments on the New York posts over the last few days!

After a whirlwind visit to New York city… days on my feet (in heels) and just a magical time meeting and visiting with so many amazing COCOCOZY readers, designers, press and buyers, I am taking a bit of a vacation that I hope to share with you.

I have jetted off to another location and am in one of the most amazing cities for architecture, antiques and design. The city itself is a design jewel. Enchanting!

Got here about five hours ago and totally konked out…fell asleep for 5 hours straight! Now I’m up and about to hit the streets. So excited to share it with you.

Take your best guess on where I am now! Where in the world am I? Where?

Happy Friday!

P.S.  Stay tuned for more!

    *** I know, I know… everyone’s saying Paris, which certainly DOES make sense (!)… Buuuut, we lived in Vienna off n’ on for a few years, in the desirable “1st District” & across from the Opera House…ANYHOOOO, & there’s a “certain, particular spot” that this pic reminds me of… Oh, how I miss it there! You are one… lucky… gal!!! E*N*J*O*Y!!!

    Best,

The best tables are the ones that invite people toThe best tables are the ones that invite people to sit down, stay awhile, and make memories. ✨
These are a few tablescapes I’ve created in my dining room, each one layered with pieces I love and little details that make the table feel special.
Mix your favorite plates, layer soft linens, add fresh flowers or greenery, and light a few candles. There’s no one right way to set a beautiful table. It should feel collected, welcoming, and uniquely yours.
Comment TABLE below and we’ll send you more tablescape ideas to inspire your next gathering.

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.
Save this for your next lighting inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍
