FELL DOWN a beautiful internet rabbit whole on my way to this place, the French country home of Cordelia de Castellane, the artistic director of Dior Maison and Baby Dior. Located an hour north of Paris, the five-acre estate dates back to the 15th century. de Castellane and her husband used to rent a small cottage on these grounds from the family friends who owned the property, long before it became their very own.

THERE AREN'T many Paris apartments that we don't like, but when we come across ones that are Joseph Dirand-esque, like this incredibly chic bachelor pad in the Place du Trocadéro, it's a very special thing.
YES, IT'S TRUE we are not often drawn to ultra-modern spaces, but there is something about this penthouse by Melbourne-based CJH Studio that is very appealing at this time of year. As the days are getting longer, perhaps it's the space's brightness that pulls us in ...
WE CAME ACROSS the work of interior photographer and stylist Aimée Mazzenga from the beautiful images she created of other people's homes, but only recently came across her own home in Chicago's Gold Coast Historic District.
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the elegant work of interior designer and photographer Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg of @white_and_faded. Hers is a serene world of crystal chandeliers, boiserie and lucite; gilded mirrors and ornate headboards, slip-covered dining chairs and linen sofas, ceiling beams and crackling fires....
We featured the Swedish countryside kitchen of Berliners, Laura Muthesius, a food stylist, and Nora Eisermann, a photographer, of the blog Our Food Stories. in October of last year. That home is their vacation home. Now the two have recently purchased a new home in the German countryside, an hour outside of Berlin ...
Now that it's officially spring in the Northern Hemisphere, we're feeling to the urge to overhaul everything in the house, clean every last corner and re-organise. We're also feeling more drawn to a lighter, more natural colour palette at this time of year, and have gathered a few things on our shopping list ...
YES, IT’S TRUE—we rarely feature ultra-modern spaces here at TIG (especially brutalist ones), but there is something about this home in Orinda, California, that drew us in. Built by Faulkner Architects for a couple of environmental scientists and their two sons who relocated from the Oakland Hills to the warmer climate of Orinda, the goal was sustainability, including net-zero energy performance yearly.
WE FEATURED THE WORK of interior photographer and stylist Carley Page Summers twice before (here & here), but she has since added more images of her North Carolina home to her Instagram page and it's all marble and crystal chandeliers, gilded mirrors and dappled sunlight, a cat on a dining room table, and a dog curled up on a pink velvet armchair by the fire ...
If you've ever wondered what the Paris office of Simon Porte Jacquemus's fashion label, Jacquemus, looks like, you'll be happy to hear that the 31-year-old designer shared a glimpse on the brand's Instgram page @jacquemas recently. It's as playful as you would expect, with ultra-modern furnishings and wonderful outdoor spaces to work. Scroll through for a glimpse...
35-year-old fashion designer Christian Vincent Siriano is perhaps best known for winning the fourth season of American design competition show Project Runway, becoming the series' youngest winner. Siriano studied in London under the direction of fashion luminaries Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen and launched his eponymous collection in 2008, showing each season following at New York Fashion Week.
IT'S A RARE WINTER wonderland here in the English countryside, so Aaron and Lauren Paul's snowy 5-bedroom cabin getaway in Idaho seemed appropriate. The Idaho-raised actor's recently-built home was featured in the March issue of Architectural Digest. Located on a 5-acre lot, the Pauls' rustic-chic getaway is filled with reclaimed barnwood and Montana moss rock ...
Swedish model and former Victoria's Secret Angel, Elsa Hosk, normally shows up here in the pages of TIG in May, when she attends the Cannes Film Festival looking stunning on the red carpet. Today, it's her light-drenched SoHo loft that we're featuring, especially since the festival has been cancelled this year. We came across Elsa's home on her Instagram page and fell for its eclectic mix of modern and midcentury, Murano glass and exposed brick, wood and marble.
In the midst of a new curfew time and talk of a new lockdown here in France, inspiration is more and more lointaine. Besides books and movies there is not much else to take the mind off the melancholy that comes with the season and this endless wintery month.
JANUARY IS A funny time: on the one hand, we're drawn to all-white and minimalistic interiors for the clean slate that they represent, and on the other, it's such a dreary month that anything colourful instantly lifts our mood and brightens these long dark winter days.
