A SUNNY SUN PORCH IN BLACK & WHITE WITH A LITTLE RED!

Black and white sun room by Kelley Proxmire with striped floor, beadboard ceiling, white drapes with black trim, white walls, black wicker armchairs and sofa and red accent pillows

It has been raining quite a bit in L.A. lately. Today it is gorgeous though! Just in case more rain is in the forecast, thought I would post a picture of a bright and cheery sun porch in hopes of channeling all things sun.

I like this room by Washington D.C. area interior designer Kelley Proxmire. I am not usually into anything that is just black and white…but for some reason this space works.

Love the striped black and white floor, the white drapes trimmed in black, the beadboard ceiling, the bright white walls, and the fun selection of accent pillows with different black and white geometric and graphic patterns. Oh, did I mention the pops of red here and there!

Happy Sunday!!

    Great picture! I’m dying for some sunshine…so so over the rain! It doesn’t feel like LA right now.

    This is very unique because you often find very natural colors used in porch or partly outdoor spaces. I have seen many with the brown and green theme or possibly a sand and blue color palette. These strong colors and lines are very unusual and beg you to take a second look.

    Oh. my. goodness. How gorgeous. I rarely pull off pics from posts that have to go into my inspiration folder, but I pulled this one! It’s to die for!

    Love this porch. And love Kelley Proxmire. And love L.A. If Chicago doesn’t start cooperating pretty soon here I might just have to fly out there.

    this is a super stunning room can’t believe that using stairs to setup a complete room will look so alluring, and its a 100% unique article for me.

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.
→ Save this if you’re building a home around an art collection. 🖼️

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨
