We came across this beautifully designed Nashville mansion by Richard Hallberg, a design titan based in Los Angeles, and were drawn to its sophiticated modern classic vibe. The cloud-like color palette really helps showcase the antiques from different eras and also make the home clean,cozy and livable. The layered vignettes bring in the interest and stories to the spaces. This is the kind of the home that we love to wander around and surprisingly find the new details in each visit. Here are some of our favorite spaces.
This is the second home we recently did for our client. For the master bedroom transformation, we chose a dark walnut framed king bed with contemporary couture gold leaf lines to ground the room. A curved blush loveseat balances off the straight lines and brings in playfulness and romance. The animal-print pillow on the loveseat injects a touch of chic and glamour to the space. Sunny yellow on the pillows on the bed is haqppy and cheerful. All the pillows are custom-made.
Color does affect how we feel. When we came across this charming Lauguna Beach home and immediately fell in love with its sophiticated color palette that is unfolding in front of our eye room by room. . Then, of course, we are amazed by the artful mixing of different styles, textures and the intention to keep and respect the original spirit of the house.
The contrast of refined and organic and the mix of vintage, modern and custom-made undoubtedly create an interesting and timeless interior. A home is such a soft place for us to lean on specially in today’s pandemic crisis. We love the romantic Parisian style and we are even more attracted to those with a quiet gesture thanks to the muted color palette , the use of natural materials and the perfect balance of different elements. Today we are going to tour such a peaceful and elegant home—a Parisan Pied-à-Terre.
A modern and sleek minimalism style doesn’t need to be cold and stark. We came Across this Manhattan apartment today and were drew by its color palette, fluid floor plan and just about right doses of Patten and texture to make it warm, inviting and youthful.

The entry door design is quite striking and sets the tone of the uniqueness of the interiors.
You may read that one of the trends is starting to fade away is the white-on-white modern farm house style. What we have seen recently is that people actually elevate their white-on-white home with more glam and elegant classical design. The emerging trend is a good indication that the classical design is on the way back huge. Today we are going to tour a contemporary Mediterranean home full with the glam.
Today we are going to tour a charming London townhouse. It’s a modern house with classical bones and a bit of British humor.
Entry
We like the grey and pearl color palette with a subtle pop of blue here in the entry. The feeling here is open, airy yet inviting and grounded thanks to a striking spiral staircase design, abundance of natural light, soft velvet fabric on the round settee and a traditional wood flooring.
LA homes are often well known for their quirky mid-century modern style mixed with antique and vintage pieces. Today, we are going to tour a modern home that is inspired by traditional cottages.
We love this double-height windows to bring in abundance of natural light at the entry. The vintage runner and an Italian oval travertine table add warmth to this high-ceiling entry.
