WE'RE STILL in the process of repopulating our archives after the technical disaster that was 2020 saw the obliteration of thousands of images from our hosting site; many personal images were also lost from our external drives due to another (un-related) catastrophe, but that is another story. And in the process of fixing a 2017 article by Daniela featuring the work of Lázaro Rosa-Violán—the interior designer responsible for many of the chicest hotels and restaurants around the world ...

Some Guillaume Alan's earliest design memories include the Louvre's magnificent ordered square courtyard, the Cour Carrée, and the tranquil simplicity of Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion in Spain. These memories fostered a love of classical purity that can still be seen in all of his work today.
WHILE SEARCHING for a festive wreath for our front door, ended up coming across many wonderful florists on Instagram who we've begun following. The first sculptural garland we discovered was London-based florist Kitten Grayson's holiday installation...
We happened upon the lovely home office of Atlanta-based blogger Kristin Jackson quite by accident, and immediately fell in love with all of the wonderful details in the room: the architectural elements and lucite, the skirted table and leopard print. But by far our favourite part was what we thought were wood built-in shelving that turned out to be freestanding bourbon cabinets.
EVERY YEAR, around this time, it's a TIG tradition to share holiday inspiration. While this year is definitely not like other years, we still have to make the best of it. And so, this year, we share with you pretty festive wreaths on windows and doors, Christmas trees along sidewalk cafés in Paris and sweeping garlands down balustrades in the Upper East Side; evergreens draped in fairy lights, snow in the Cotswolds and more...
The most iconic sofa I’ve ever seen and desired for my own appartement is the one created by the designer Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset more than 40 years ago: the Togo.
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the chic, chic! life of Brenda Weischer. Hers in a home filled with fashion books and monochrome, ultra-modern pieces of furniture, lacy lingerie and a wall of mirrors. And it's no wonder, for Weischer has an MA in fashion journalism from Central Saint Martins, and as such, there's a wonderful intelligence to her style. Scroll through for a glimpse ...
I’ve been obsessing over marble tables for a while now. While apartment hunting, I fantasize about how I will decorate my new space and have been dreaming about either a dining table, side table, or coffee table in marble, or all of them ...
THE FIRST THING that caught my eye in this charming Swedish kitchen was the glass-front cabinets, which reminded me of those old barrister bookcases sometimes repurposed in décor for storing/displaying shoes. The kitchen belongs to two Berliners, Laura Muthesius, a food stylist, and Nora Eisermann, a photographer, who always dreamed of owning a home in Sweden.
WHEN PETER COPPING stepped down as creative director at Oscar de la Renta four years ago, he began spending more time at La Carlière, the 15th-century manor house he and his French husband Rambert Rigaud bought 12 years ago. Located in the Normandy countryside just two hours from Paris, the home was once a weekend escape from the city ...
THINGS HAVE BEEN a bit stressful lately―our site is full of holes at the moment where images should be (long story); I am currently locked out of the TIG facebook account (Does anyone have a fix for this?); and the pandemic is taking hold again...
THE NEWS HAS been dire lately and as always during stressful times, it can sometimes be difficult to be creative and come up with interesting things to share. This space, a pavilion that's set off from the main house on this South Australian property, is modern and minimalist and very calming with its Tuscan-inspired fluid shapes and neutral palette ...
WE'VE COVERED the work of Leanne Ford before here at TIG, but this project, with its fieldstone fireplace and log cabin vibe, has drawn our attention to the American interior designer once again. Set in Rustic Canyon, a residential neighbourhood and canyon in eastern Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles, California ...
HAPPENED UPON THIS wonderfully elegant home in Lattingtown, New York by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects while searching for fitness studio décor for an upcoming project. I, of course, immediately fell for its decidedly elegant vibe of chintz and chandeliers and Venetian glass mirrors, balloon curtains and sweeping staircase, wall sconces and walk-in dressing rooms.
Russian-born, raised in Germany influencer Xenia Adonts moved to Paris recently and has been slowly releasing small glimpses of her new apartment on her Instagram account @xeniaadonts. And while the space the classically good bones of a Paris apartment with its juliet balconies and chevron wood floors ...
