I saw this bathroom on Instagram. The tub is set in a nook. It’s like your own sanctuary within your bathroom. Interior Designers from Roman and Williams Guild, Stephen Alesch, and Robin Standefer, designed this bathroom for their Brooklyn home. It features nature-like wallpaper that is also used in their living room. Its tree branches and floral details make the home feel enchanting. It almost feels like you’re in a dreamy forest. However, the bathroom is the true star of their home. From the black tub to the brass fixtures, it’s a beautiful design.

Neutral decor isn’t for everyone. So here’s some interior inspiration for those who aren’t afraid of color. This SoHo townhouse features vibrant colors in almost every room. Interior designer, Giancarlo Valle, crafted a home that has a perfect balance of playful and modern details. Every color, piece of furniture, and decor is strategically placed to tell a story. My favorite room is the library. I discovered it on Instagram and thought “WOW.” How often do you see an orange-red color scheme in a library? It features bespoke brushed-oak shelving and a 1970s table. See more rooms below!

Say goodbye to warm tones and bright colors in 2021. Black interiors are taking over the interior design world. Everyone has their own design style. Some people don’t like the all-white kitchen trend. Or the rustic neutral farmhouse looks that we’ve been seeing all over the internet. Personally, I have found myself steering away from bright white rooms. I’m not saying that I’m going to be painting my walls charcoal tomorrow. However, there is something that makes me go “WOW” when I see a dramatic black room.

Black is classic. Although, most people stay away from it when they’re decorating their home. It can change the tone of a room from playful to sophisticated. While on a deep dive, I discovered beautiful dark rooms that I think you all should see.

Former Miss Universe and now Fashion influencer, Olivia Culpo, is showing off her glamourous pad in Encino. After years of living in a small apartment, she finally made the move to a spacious 5,000 square foot sanctuary. Culpo needed a home that was both comfortable and calming. With the help of interior designer Jess Diab, they found the perfect balance of glamour and chic within this space. The decorating process was slow because of the pandemic. The duo approached each room strategically. They added vintage and contemporary pieces. Culpo was inspired by French architecture. Her home is full of textured furniture and decor with personal touches. 

The photo above is of her walk-in closet. Her fashion is on full display. You can spot her crowns from her Miss USA and Miss Universe wins.

Brigette Romanek, the owner of Romanek Design Studio, gave an inside look at her eclectic Mediterranean-style home in Laurel Canyon. It’s bright and airy but has Romanek’s vibrant touch throughout the home. It features whimsical art, clean lines, and luxurious decor. What’s even more interesting about this home is that it was rumored to be owned by Houdini in the 1920s.

Romanek’s passion for design started when she decorated homes for her family and close friends. She realized her love for interior design which eventually led her to open her very own studio. Her style is a combination of modern and vintage designs. She is playful with her creations, but everything always has a purpose.

This luxurious Aspen ski chalet is the perfect winter escape. Who wouldn’t want to vacation in Aspen for the holiday season? Interior designer, Sandra Nunnerley, inherited the project from Alan Wanzenberg (New York-based Architect) after the original owners decided to sell. Nunnerley transformed the cozy cottage into an ultramodern sanctuary for ski enthusiasts. I’m not much of a skier, but I’m sure this would be a dream for anyone who loves outdoor activities in the frosty snow. The home has seven bedrooms and a rustic locker room to store all of the client’s snow gear. Nunnerley wanted a balance of luxury and comfortability. Since it is her client’s vacation home, she wanted the space to feel welcoming and relaxed. Throughout the home, you will find earthy tones and color palettes. She decorated each room with warm woods and rustic textures. Get inspired by this beautiful winter home.

I’m so excited to share that I have a new collection with Capel Rugs coming soon. Some of you already know that I have collaborated with the Capel Rugs team before. I really enjoy working with Cameron and her team. This collection includes new COCOCOZY textiles and designs with a modern twist. I wanted this collection to be able to be styled in any room. There are four rug patterns included: Cobblestone, Escape, Happy Day, and Pulse. The collection will be available in March 2022.

The collection was displayed at High Point Market back in October. It was my first time seeing the collection in person. Not to be biased…they’re so beautiful! I would recommend placing your orders now if you’re thinking about buying one. They will sell out quickly once they are available in March. Take a look at the collection below!

The holiday sale ends December 1st.

Take a look inside AD100 designer Sheila Bridge’s recent project. A large estate set on 23 acres in Bedford Hills, New York. With making each zone their own cozy space, Bridges added touches of the 1930’s throughout the estate. The designer explained that research is always the start for her design process. While striving to create livable spaces, Sheila wanted to keep the core elegant spirit intact.

With 30 years experience in designing, she tries “not use the same thing twice” when it comes to her interiors. See how she does just that in this elegant countryside estate below.

It’s time for another New York City apartment tour. Natasha Nyanin, a creative consultant, travel expert, and freelance writer, gave Architectural Digest an inside look at her eclectic apartment.

The decor has been inspired by her worldly travels. With the help of her interior designer friend, Nina Blair, they created an effortlessly beautiful space.

Hues of green will be very popular during the fall and winter seasons. Dark olive, in particular, is a color to watch out for when it comes to interior design. It’s the perfect shade to add richness to a room. If you are looking to spice up your kitchen then I would recommend an olive kitchen. Paint your cabinets with the dark hue to create a luxurious and warm look. If you’re still unsure about painting your kitchen green, then check out the three reasons why you should just in time for fall!

Some of you already know that I’m a fan of French architecture. I came across this stunning 17th century farmhouse called Domaine de la Cavalière. For those who don’t know, “calvaliére” means “horsemen” in French. The domaine sits on 100 acres in Provence, France. The structure looks on to the Luberon Mountains and is surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Celebrity designer, Ken Fulk, repaired and redecorate the structure to transform it into the perfect getaway for families. Fulk’s design features a balance of french antiques and modern decor. The main farmhouse includes two kitchens, multiple living rooms, eight bedrooms, and a wine cave. The barn was turned into a guest house for the caretaker.

Domaine de la Cavaliére is owned by an American couple, Jeffrey and Laurie Ubben. Jeffrey Ubben is the founder of ValueAct Capital, an investment company that is based in San Francisco. The Ubbens fell in love with Luberon while on vacation, which led them to purchasing the property. Take a look inside the gorgeous domaine.

This modern Guangzhou home tour is filled with innovative design ideas. Located in Guangzhou, China this over 7,000 square foot home was designed by Shexia Design. Shexia believes that the relationship between the homeowner and the house is a sacred connection that impacts daily life. Meaning that one’s home should be a reflection of their lifestyle and future self through every detail.

Bring the cafe home by raising the kitchen bar with this design idea. This modern black and white farmhouse by M House Development has an interesting design with floor-to-ceiling steel picturesque windows and a bar counter going across it. By adding in the bar counter, this space has transformed an otherwise empty area into cafe-style seating.

This soothing minimal boho bedroom has everything an interior needs for style and comfort. This Parisian-inspired boho meets minimal suite was designed by Shari Francis of Dadapt, a Brooklyn-based full-service Interior Design studio. Dadapt does it all with work spanning residential, retail, hospitality, and corporate spaces.

While modern and contemporary homes may be in, this traditional Maine barn cottage tour is full of inspired design choices. Designed by G.P. Schafer a New York based architectural firm, this home is located on the coast of Maine. The cottage was designed for a couple who split their time between New York and Boston. The home spans over 3,300 square feet and has a courtyard.

Kitchen trends are changing again and now, anything but a white kitchen is in. While white kitchens are still incredibly popular and have been over the last few years, it seems like alternative kitchen color palettes are everywhere. Navy, taupe, beige, green, you name it, it’s in, and they are here to stay.

The kitchen above, designed by Shavonda Gardner, is beautifully unique. Shavonda, a California based blogger and interior designer, used deep red cabinetry, dark grey soapstone counters, khaki colored ceramic brick tailes for the backsplash, amazing yellow floral wallpaper, gold sconces, and a gold pot holder rod across the wall from end to end. She mixes and matches colors that aren’t normally used in the kitchen. Shavonda’s kitchen is chic, stylish, bold and totally not white. This is my pick for “stand out kitchen of the year” actually. I love it.

With that said, we now bring you more not-so-white-kitchens – a trend that is taking over kitchen design.
