LATELY we have been coming across concrete used in décor everywhere⏤so much so that it has become a common fixture on Instagram. A major trend in interior design in 2018, concrete, a material that is often associated with building foundations, driveways and patios, has been making its way into home accessories, flooring, shelving, lighting and even furniture. And now it's back.

WE MAY BE ON social media a lot less these days, but when we are, we try to use the time to find only the best in food, travel, fashion, and interiors, like these sumptuously chic spaces from @rizzolibooks on Instagram. There are grand hotel rooms with ornate boiserie and crystal chandeliers; ceiling beams and grand exposed brick fireplaces; velvet, linen and marble and warm carved wood; the most stunning outdoor terrace at Villa Paradiso in Genova, Italy and much more...
IN AUGUST OF 2020, we featured the bohemian eclectic Notting Hill home of Matilda Goad and just discovered that her and her husband have sold the place. The new home, a Victorian terrace also in London, is equally bohemian eclectic, or perhaps even more so ...
Then everything falls away.
The world for a little longer
is something to see, then only something to hear,
crickets, cicadas.
Or to smell sometimes, aroma of lemon trees, of orange trees.
Then sleep takes this away also.
THIS WEEK'S DÉCOR inspiration is furniture seller-turned-interior designer Juniper Tedhams's Chelsea townhouse, located in the lower two floors of an Italianate-style building dating back to the 1850s. The ground floor used to be her shop, then her interior design office ...

IT HAS BEEN amazingly blustery for the past two days and nights, the beginning of two separate storms set to hit England this weekend, we're told, so the desire to stay in and avoid being blown away has been strong this week. To encapsulate the vibe that is this time of year, we've created a moodboard for cosy February days ...
THIS BEAUTIFUL and serene home looks like it could be an apartment in Paris, but is actually a three-Story 1914 row house in Washington D.C. When the owners, Courtney and Mike Green, found it in 2017, it was dilapidated and in much need of renovation. They enlisted Jeremiah Brent, a California-based interior designer (and husband of Nate Berkus) to do the work ...
WHETHER IT WAS due to the arrival of athleisure about six years ago or the arrival of the pandemic three years ago, we've been dressing up less for a long time now. And even as lockdown restrictions have been lifted and we're hoping to make our way out of this chapter in our lives, some of the habits we've developed over this time have remained, such as the casual way we've been dressing during this time ...

IT'S THE FIRST of March after a long winter and the sun is streaming through the windows. The brighter mornings and longer days are calling us outdoors, even as we type away at our keyboards. The sounds of cars driving by, people rushing along to shops and appointments, and it feels like a new beginning ...
THE LAST TIME we featured the 1928 Hollywood Hills, California home of interior designer Mark D. Sikes was in 2016 (see how it looked here). It was the second iteration of the place, we believe? Three years ago, in 2019, the designer embarked on a third redesign that was featured at Architectural Digest that we only discovered now, and quite a lot has changed. New fabrics have been brought in, most notably the blue white Brunschwig & Fils check that ensconces the dining room from floor to ceiling. ...
