THE HOME OF Lena Terlutter is one of the most bold and modern spaces that we have ever featured here at TIG. The fashion entrepreneur, who opened the concept store Belgique Boutique in 2010, lives in a large open-plan loft style space in Cologne, Germany with her husband and four children. The home features an all-white palette punctuated by rustic wood beams and large-scale framed black and white photography ...
STYLIST AND CREATIVE Director Pernille Teisbaek's Copenhagen home blends together all of the beautiful elements that we love most: marble upon marble and chevron wood floors; boiserie and architectural features such as pillars and ceiling beams. There's a soft sunlit glow about the space due to filmy sheer curtains that puddle on the floor ...
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....
Tolstoy was a moralist. He wrote one novel—Anna Karenina—in which infidelity ends in death, and another—War and Peace—in which his characters endure a thousand pages of political, military and romantic turmoil so as to eventually earn the reward of domestic marital bliss. In the epilogue to War and Peace we encounter his protagonist Natasha, unrecognizably transformed.
Over the course of the past year, our social media streams began to change. The endless photos of trips to far-flung places like Japan and Australia, and influencer favourites like Bali and Santorini slowly gave way to quarantine home scenes. Quiet lockdown moments of living room cocktails and freshly baked loaves of Dutch oven bread, solitary sofa scenes of open laptops and Netflix streams ...
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 ...
SUNDAY was one of those bright winter days that highlights all the lacy frost patterns on the leaves of hedges and those that trail up tree trunks and along the sides of stone walls. It shone on the frosty blades of grass and the broken panes of ice beside puddles on the gravel road that leads away from the river ...
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...
At the very beginning of her new book Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain, psychology professor Lisa Feldman Barrett writes that each chapter will present “a few compelling scientific nuggets about your brain and considers what they might reveal about human nature.”
RECENTLY ORDERED A new chunky cable knit sweater and it's the warmest, cosiest thing. In fact, if it were not for cosy jumpers and crackling cottage fires, autumn would be nearly unbearable with its damp, cloudy days, bare branches after all the leaves have fallen, and inevitable end in winter ...
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...
Despite actually living it for the past year and a bit, only came across the term cottagecore recently. Cottagecore (also known as farmcore, countrycore, naturecore, honeycore or warmcore) is the internet aesthetic taking over our screens lately with its ultra-romanticised interpretation of rural and countryside life ...
WHILE WORKING ON this week’s Links, we got very distracted this morning upon the discovery of this stunning getaway home on Martha’s Vineyard. This Oyster Pond summer home belongs to Sir Evelyn Rothschild and Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Still in our ceiling beam phase, we fell for its countryside charm immediately.
IF YOU'VE BEEN READING for a while, you will know of our love for farm and country house style lately, and why we would be naturally drawn to this wonderful 19th century home in the centre of Barcelona.
