So when we spotted no less than seven furnishings and accents from Crate&Barrel in a home he recently customized for a couple in New Jersey, it stopped us in our tracks. Shopping from big-box retailers is a must for anyone on a budget, including designers like Wayne who regularly spring for high-end bespoke pieces but still ne

Her trio of homewares boutiques, Domestic Science, are dotted around villages in the Cotswolds in England and blend a mix of pre-loved accessories with original new finds.

Over the course of a year, cookbooks stack up in a corner of my apartment and my inbox fills with tableware launches. I taste-test oodles of snacks and take appliances for a spin—all in the name of finding the ones I deem the most giftable for the holidays. I seek out the kinds of presents that someone who likes to tinker in the kitchen (aka me) would be delighted to unwrap. This year, the novel

What do Egyptian and Roman architecture, Gothic stonework, and twentieth-century modernism all have in common? The answer, in case you’re still scratching your head, is Jeremiah Brent’s new rug collection for Loloi. The interior designer’s fall drop—his second one for the brand—stars 35-plus rugs and an assortment of pillows that draw on strong structural lines, tile-inspired patterns, and carve

For years, the family room in Christy and Link Neal’s Los Angeles home was a place where just about anything went. There was a foosball table, a big screen, and a comfortable couch that could withstand a few chicken-wing casualties. And with three kids, that was exactly the point. But when their second left for college and their youngest turned 16, the couple decided it was time to reclaim the s

Photography by Justin Chung; Styling by Merisa Libbey Nothing forces a home refresh quite like offering to host the holidays—because you can’t have a door knob-less bathroom or a half-painted kitchen when you’re expecting company. Of course, you have to be realistic about what you can actually get done in time. Ahead, we rounded up seven little upgrades you can absolutely complete in the nex

There’s a difference between giving someone a nice gift and finding something so perfectly suited to their personality they wonder how you even thought of it. The trick is thinking beyond the usual candles and coffee table books (although we found some particularly good versions of those, too). What do you get the friend who plans entire vacations around wine bars? The person whose perfect Sunda

When Ruben Caldwell, Leigh Salem, and Jou-Yie Chou, the three co-founders behind design firm Post Company, first started working on hospitality projects together 15 years ago, they were particularly focused on making the public spaces in their hotels special. “Because we were young and wanted to hang out with people,” notes Caldwell. But these days? “We like to be in bed early to read,” he says

Does your dog spend hours perched by the window, keeping tabs on the neighborhood? They might be onto something. A window seat is prime real estate for reading, napping, daydreaming, and generally doing very little. So why leave that perfectly good alcove empty? Take a cue from your resident loungers and turn it into a cozy, wel

You can order a dozen fabric swatches, measure your living room thirteen times, and spend hours debating whether the chaise belongs on the left or right. But there’s one important detail that’s always hardest to figure out from your laptop: how it’ll actually feel when you sit on it. Too firm, and your cozy movie nights s

She came on staff only a year after the magazine launched in 2004, and it wasn’t long before her own 400-square-foot New York City apartment graced our glossy pages, first as a home tour and later as proof that you absolutely can host a cocktail party in a 12-by-12-foot sitting room. Konig, who later went on to found her own interior desig

Stained glass dates back more than 1,400 years, to the ancient Romans and Egyptians, and has been cycling through visual culture ever since. And though you might mainly think of it as the medium for church windows, right now it’s also a major residential design flex. We’re seeing stained glass pop up in projects ranging from traditional to modernist, in new construction and older homes alike. Ah

Are you a traditionalist who prefers a classic red-and-green color scheme, or do you lean toward unexpected patterns and colors? There’s always a reason to add another one to the lineup, whether because a new family member has entered the fold, your childhood heirloom has finally worn through at the toe, or you’ve simply decided

It’s basically a universal truth that most children grow up, hightail it out of the nest, and seldom return. But when Claire Lonegan decided to redesign the attic of her 1930s residence in Red Bank, New Jersey, she envisioned a space that would draw her son and daughter-in-law back home.  The couple travels from Virginia to New Jersey almost monthly, for both business and pleasure, so creating a

Once upon a time, home ownership began with a “starter” house: a literal foot-in-the-door kind of place that would one day give way to a bigger, pricier “forever” home. These days…not so much. For myriad reasons, more people are looking for an affordable place they can stick with for the long haul—and that is where a 1,500-square-foot residence really shines.  Think about it. A modest fo

The odds of simply stumbling across Loto, a new café in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood are low. That’s because the coffee shop is inside a house, specifically the cozy bungalow where owners Julian Scharman and Stephanie Hong live with their two children. It’s a “if you know, you know” destination, focusing on Mexican coffees with Japanese touches. But we’ll tell you anyway: At the corne

But stained blue millwork paired with a copper backsplash and countertops salvaged from a school science lab? That’s a different story. In this London dwelling, interior architect Anthi Grapsa took a homeowner’s favorite color and ran with it, creating a space that’s as rich in texture as it is in personality, and t
