Philippe Starck, a renowned and esteemed French designer well-known for his product designs, Starck is also a notable interior designer. He has completed many remarkable projects, and this time we will explore the interior design of a unique wellness boutique hotel in Saint-Tropez. Philippe Starck Design renovation of Villa W Villa W, the hotel’s name, is created as a smaller separate structure connected to the existing Philippe Starck-designed Lily of the Valley nearby hotel. Villa W is in an extraordinarily privileged location in Saint-Tropez by the coast, overlooking the charming Mediterranean. This villa was originally built by the local architect Jean Nielly in the 1960s. Now in the amazing hands of Philippe Starck, it underwent an interesting renovation that will accentuate, most delightfully, its earliest architectural features. Inside a pine tree forest, VIlla W, a two-floor boutique hotel, gives you the feeling of a dreamy cabin by the sea. And that is exactly what Phillip Starck went for because he evolved the interior design of this building into a truly romantic hideaway. Starck managed to honor the materials of the villa, the sheets of glass, the concrete, and the steel, by bringing attention to its length. He purposefully used a chestnut wood pergola-type structure throughout the entire glass south facade with aluminum-framed French glass doors.  The hotel has enough double rooms to welcome six guests at a time. All the rooms get a gorgeous view of the sea, which was a priority. The design of the hotel incorporates elements from the mid-century modernistic style. You feel free and relaxed in such a space. The terrace has a private 17 meters long swimming pool that locks views with its breathtaking surroundings. Both sides of the lobby have two very important and attractive spaces of the wellness hotel. One side leads to the terrace, with rattan seating and outdoor wood furniture. While on the other side of it, you see a bar/restaurant area that matches the lobby’s design and serves healthy Mediterranean gastronomy for all the guests of this wellness design hotel by Philippe Starck in Saint Tropez.   The color palette focuses more on the neutrals, with a few variations of earth colors. As you are greeted in the reception and main lobby, it’s easy to notice the more earthy vibes with the leather sofas, the wooden ornaments, and earthy tone rugs that create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. All these details and more add warmth and freshness to the hotel. You feel part of a “Caribbean resort” but yet have views of the Mediterranean, and the modern touches excel in the bedrooms. Philippe Starck ensured that each bedroom was surrounded by big glass windows and doors that free and opened the space. Therefore giving them a mid-century yet modern look. The rooms also have vintage furniture pieces which were carefully selected by Starck. The bathrooms are as modern and luscious as the marble floors, the mirrored walls, and a magnificent bathtub that is positioned so that it gets a good view of the Mediterranean. Yet, they have a clean aesthetic design, and each element added in the bathroom emphasizes the view of the surroundings and the sea. The approach taken for this interior design was thanks to the extraordinary skills of the designer, who embarked on this adventure to create an amazing interior that perfectly matches the function, the surroundings, and the originality of the architectural structure, offering the guests a mesmerizing experience of calmness and relaxation in the Saint-Tropez.

This House in Dubai shows a particular design, unlike the futuristic style characteristic of this city; here, the Mediterranean vibes fulfill the space. This house in Dubai is located in the Umm Suqeim neighborhood; unlike the modern and futuristic buildings in this city, this home shows a contemporary design with Mediterranean touches. The place belongs to the lifestyle entrepreneur Natalia Shustova, who bought this villa during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as her weekend refugee from the city. When the COVID pandemic struck, Natalia Shustova was living in a penthouse in the city financial district – surrounded by futuristic buildings and the typical movement of a big city – Shustova decided to look for a home where she could rest at least during the weekend while she couldn’t travel. But as she spent more time in this charming house in Dubai, she realized that this was more than a vacation space, so Natalia and her husband moved here. Even though Shustova was already in love with the house – she went for a remodel to a Mediterranean flair- the result was beyond Shustova’s expectations – a place full of charm and peaceful vibes, the opposite of Dubai’s modernist style. Some highlights of this renovation were the undulating white plaster boundary and the landscape of olive trees. The pool area also received an upgrade – artisanal tiles and an outdoor sauna were installed. On the inside, this house in Dubai is a real jewel – with beautiful details. Shustova was into an experimental design to mark an authentic style – the old gabled ceiling, for example, is one of the charming details that honor the home’s personality. The charming details of this home make it unique and full of personality – as expected for a design created by a creative person like Natalia Shustova. The reinvention of this space into a dreaming home can be compared to Shustova’s personal life. The entrepreneur moved to Dubai in 2006 to help luxury real estate companies. Lawyer by qualification in 2020, she decided to follow her dream and found Goshá, a floral studio. This house in Dubai shows, in every detail, the personal approach of Shustova- it’s a place that reveals her love and creativity. One of her favorite spaces in the house is the kitchen – a green room with a garden view and a marble and brass island- the space was designed entirely by Shustova and her husband. This home is a surprising space – from the living room where a TV climbs up in a Greek-inspired display wall to the unique wall painting – creating a brush-stroke line where the false ceiling was. And of course, as a Mediterranean-inspired design- a stunning outdoor area couldn’t be missing in this charming house in Dubai. Shustova converted the garage into a splendid space that makes everyone feels like it is in Greece. DO YOU LOVE INTERIOR DESIGN?

Sustainability and slow design, outdoor living spaces, texture, home office, digital interior design and a blast of color are the home renovation trends of the moment. Read the article and discover what can’t be left aside in your home renovation or remodeling project. If you just looked around and felt that your home needs a little upgrade, this article is just what you need to read. It’s not a trend report. Instead, it’s a small guide with simple tips that can make a great change. Firstly, it will change how you feel in your home; secondly, it will change how you choose materials and products; and, finally and hopefully, it will change the world. SUSTAINABILITY AND SLOW DESIGN Buying out of impulsiveness is outdated. More than ever, we must be thoughtful buyers looking for sustainable production practices, respect for resources, and support small industries that keep artisanal techniques and brands committed to delivering products that last a lifetime. If you’re about to renovate or remodel your home, keep in mind that the best you can do is to invest in high-quality materials and products that are multitasking and fit your exquisite needs. OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE Summertime and the living is easy, which is reason enough to renovate or remodel your backyard. This season is to finally get an outdoor pool to dive in all day long, install an amazing outdoor kitchen to cook delicious grilled meals and prepare summer salads or design an open-air dining area to savor them. In your garden, you can also create a modern outdoor living room with stylish outdoor seatings surrounding a modern coffee table or a fire pit to keep you warm even when the first leaves of autumn fall. For some, these ideas seem a bit too ambitious, simply because not everyone owns a front yard or backyard big enough to sculpt these ideas. However, life outdoors is too good, and everyone should benefit from it. If your home doesn’t allow you to remodel your outdoor area, add greenery inside, and make the best of your porch or balcony by creating a breakfast nook, for instance. TEXTURE Texture, texture on the wall, is the most significant home renovation trend of 2022. Texture denotes luxury and comfort. Therefore, an interior decor packed with soulful and rich texture, visual and tactile, will instantly elevate any room. This trend might be the reason why in 2022 we’re seeing several luxury brands opening stores that are an authentic synaesthetic experience, delighting all senses, like the fluffy pink Balenciaga store in London. Interior designers also create a chilling, gripping experience for homeowners by playing texture. When it comes to renovating or remodeling homes, you must implement rich textures on every surface. Be bold. Pick fabrics with thick patterns or a relief surface, such as bouclé. Choose stones that have a unique figure, like marble. Try stylish wallpapers that can change the room’s color, dimension and style. 3D Rugs are also a fun option to add visual and tactile texture, especially if against a plaster wall, the biggest construction and renovation trend of 2022. Alex P White added texture and love to a home in Beverly Hills with great bones but lacking personality. The home’s walls are limewashed to welcome a palette of warm neutral, dashes of color, striking art pieces and copious textures. HOME OFFICE Home Office is an interior design trend that is here to stay. Once we started working from home, we never returned to office life, saving ourselves from daily commuting. If in the beginning we were caught off guard on Zoom wearing sweatpants and a hoodie against a messy, unstaged backdrop, we are now experienced enough to know that it doesn’t take much to make a good impression on a team meeting – a modern bookcase or a stylish wallpaper won’t let you down. Time gave you experience, but you must be tired of working from home by now. If so, this means it is about time to remodel and refresh the room you work in, making it unique and inspiring. How do you do that? Change the color of your home office – stay faithful to sandy neutrals with a calming effect or try painting the walls with blue, a color that promotes focus. If you’re an artist or creator, add some orange details since orange is the best color to foster energy and creativity. Aesthetics plays a significant in inspiration. Surrounding yourself with a fine selection of office furniture will boost your productivity. DIGITAL INTERIOR DESIGN If remote work is the new normal, it is due to technology and the digitalization of lives. A fast wi-fi connection and a good computer are more than necessary for doing your job well, no matter where you’re working from. At home, the right gadgets and the latest technology can positively affect the time and energy spent on household chores. Technology is also a time and resource saver in the interior design industry. Digital interior design or online interior design services allow you to discuss your home renovation project or remodeling with the help of professionals. From the comfort of your home, you can foresee your dining room with a new painting, a new dining table, or perspective the room with a modern buffet or sideboard. SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS On your home renovation, you’ll have to show your true colors, a major and mandatory trend. A person is defined not only by how they speak and what they wear but by the homes they own as well. Furthermore, the so-called color therapy urges you to have rooms whose paint can make you feel relaxed, emotional, and secure. In other words, believing that colors influence our moods, it is essential to choose paint, furniture and home accessories that best fit the room and how we want to feel inside it. You want a calming bedroom, a dining room that makes mouths water, or a warm and welcoming entryway, right? But what colors are trending the

This summer home in Dubai presented a challenge for the designer who took into her hands the project of her sister’s home in the city. Usually, working on interior design with a family member would present challenges. Still, in this case, the collaboration between the Köerting sisters was delightful and extremely fruitful, resulting in a charming, vibrant, and colorful house that embraced their roots. The clients; the sister, and her husband, represent a very international background. She is from Australia and has an Iranian background. Her husband is English, also with Iranian background, grew up in Japan, so the design was strongly influenced by all the different cultures. It took a lot of searches and exchanges of ideas, but a delightful design emerged in the end. They chose to have a lot of European furniture to decorate their home, but they also wanted to have that touch of uniqueness in their home design. A few were bespoke products, especially when they couldn’t find exactly what they were looking for, like the master’s bedroom headboard. The interior designer drew a special design, and the couple’s maximalist approach asked to make it four times as big. A beautiful potent blue headboard with incorporated light features is the spotlight of their bedroom. Not only do they like the maximalism style decor, but because of their constant traveling lifestyle, they opted for a home with a bit of a luxury hotel feel. They had two other important, almost non-negotiable features: comfort and durability. The couple has two young kids and also a dog. When designing and choosing the pieces, there was a need to create the perfect places for them and adapt the entire home accordingly. Despite the materials used, most of the furniture has round curvy edges and shapes, with soft yet hard-wearing upholstery fabrics chosen by the couple and perfect for the strong sun of Dubai and the family dynamics. The other bespoke item in the house is the dining table. A very important piece for the couple as they love to gather their loved ones and organize parties and events. As they couldn’t find exactly what they were looking for, Köerting designed exactly what they asked for. A big dining table with a clear glass tabletop and an iconic base, an undulating base shape, covered with fluted paneling inset with strips of brushed-brass trim that perfectly matches the design of the chairs’ legs. As for the chairs, they have a gorgeous patterned fabric that gives the room a contemporary ambiance. The art pieces hanging in the living room were rendered even before the designing process fully started, so they decided to take their colors and incorporate them into the design. This gave this Dubai home its neutral colors of wood and stone, with touches of gold, vibrant blue, and warm terracotta colors. The children’s bedroom also presents very colorfully, interesting choices in carpets and furniture too. Overall, this fruitful collaboration between sisters resulted in something splendid. All the thought, attention to detail, and devotion to the create the perfect place resulted in an amazing design that calls attention. A dream come true, a reflection of who this family is, a reflection of each member and their personality, and a stylish but comfortable home. This family’s Dubai-based apartment truly represents who they are and want to be. ARE YOU INTO INTERIOR DESIGN?

Designed by John L. Volk, this impressive house in Palm Beach was renovated by Frank de Biasi, who incorporated emotional furniture and accessories into this family home. Before we start our tour inside this stunning renovated house in Palm Beach, we may come back to 1920 when the visionary Austrian builder John L. Volk arrived in Palm Beach and brought the Mediterranean Revival to neo-Georgian style. The work of Volk has a unique signature that is alive in some of his projects around Palm Beach -like the impressive staircases that are always a stunning element of his houses. Back to the present, when Emilia Fanjul Pfeifler decided to make Palm Beach her family address- she found a perfect house – designed by Volk in 1940; the house is a British Colonial with a stylistic pedigree and generous spaces. Besides being an authentic Volk design, the fact that the house has space and already has been home for large families was essential to help Emilia to decide to make this her house. To renovate this house in Palm Beach for a family of five that loves to gather, Emilia assigned the designer Frank de Biasi, who had already helped the family in other residence renovations. De Biasi lives in Morocco, but for this specific project, he moved to Palm Beach for six months to be nearby during the renovation, which has been a plus to his work – since the designer had the opportunity to feel the place and incorporate it into his layout. A particularity of this project is that de Biasi incorporates most of the furniture and art from the former place of the family to this house in Palm Beach. The result is a unique interior full of emotional objects that mix different styles, textures, and materials beautifully. Emilia and her husband were also really involved in the project – together with de Biasi; the trio traveled to Italy, France, and England to dig for antiques to complete the home. A highlight of this search was a marble table they found and Italy, and even though the table wasn’t finished, they decided it would be the perfect piece for the house – and it was. Beyond the search for antiques, this house in Palm Beach also features an incredible floor – found in New York, and the paving helps to create a unique space and cover the main level blended with squares of vintage marble in the entrance and parquet de Versailles. Handcraft rugs also complete this home, adding a charming and special vibe to the house. For de Biasi, this house in Palm Beach is delightful. Still, of course, he has a favorite spot – the octagonal pavilion – where a surprising mix of furniture light up the ambient and makes this a comfy and beautiful space. In the stair hall, the highlight goes for the historic Italian photographs on the walls and the Ed Ruscha paintings that helps to give personality to this house in Palm Beach. Notably, every detail and choice here helps to provide a unique essence to this home. After all, this house in Palm Beach is a blend of emotions, styles, and beautiful details that makes this a memorable family home – full of meanings. ARE YOU INTO INTERIOR DESIGN?

Located in the heart of California’s ecological landscape, this 19,000-square feet Mandeville Canyon House brought together some of the most renowned architects, interior designers, and landscape architects. Jamie Bush, alongside architecture firm Walker Workshop and landscape firm Christine Londos, created the design of this modern, minimalistic house. Everything played a role in the design choices for this house, through clean lines and a monochromatic palette with warm earth colors used as an accent. These details represent the core of this house design, an extreme elegance without exaggeration. Surrounded by a strong presence, this house identifies among its “peers.” This unpretentious home has a simple yet complicated house structure and shape. The delicate black trimmed window grids add that slight touch of classy. The black grids from the windows also match the grand stairs’ metal handrail that emphasizes the design’s centerpiece. These environmentally friendly used materials, such as terracotta, white oak, and limestone, match and combine very well together. The decoration in the interior was based on the principle of “less is more.” Few furniture pieces fill the spaces in the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. The living spaces on the first floor transmit the same feel, creating a cozy space where owners can live and enjoy the warm days under the big tree shadows. The living room is ample, and the specially chosen furniture combines a beautiful curved sofa and a coffee table that resembles nature in its free flowy shape.  The kitchen has a slightly darker theme, with dark wood cabinets and black marble tops. The appliances also match the black of the countertops. The low pendant lights fall down just at the right height over the kitchen island, brightening up the whole kitchen and warming up the monochromatic palette of this minimalistic house even more. The designer kept the bedroom feeling grounded and minimal with white, beige, and brown tones. The room has a nice combination of wooden ceilings and a big light-colored rug. Jamie Bush went with a big floor-to-ceiling window, matching nightstands, and a pair of armchairs at the end of the bed for that extra comfort talk before calling it a night.  Minimalistic house concept The ambition of the interior designers in this specific project was to better connect the greenery in this elegant, minimalistic house by bringing that nature’s color inside and as a decoration in the living room, hall, and garden.  The patio, which seems like an extension of the house, is beautiful, relaxing, and just a few steps away from the pool, which is a centerpiece of the landscape design. It’s simple and minimalistic but combined with daybeds that stand on the shallow part of the pool, seeming to float above the water. Next to them is a jacuzzi, more outdoor daybeds, and sofas for those who would like to enjoy the extraordinary mountain view. The architectural design of the whole house separates itself from some of the other Los Angeles-style houses. Not for lack of modernism but more so for lack of extravagance exhibited in the other houses. This doesn’t mean that this minimalistic house isn’t as modern, but rather that it is a space welcoming nature in, trying to camouflage it as part of it. The residents enjoy a peaceful stay getting away from the load city and enjoying the beautiful minimalistic house where they live in. ARE YOU INTO INTERIOR DESIGN?
