I am really taken with this apartment. It’s like a clash of cultures between the pristine Richard Meier white shell and the high end eclecticism of the designers and owners, Yabu Pushelberg.

The perfect spot for a meeting of the local book club, a New York coffee bar designed to look like a library turned 90 degrees.
Understated elegance over Manhattan. I really like the way this living space just doesn’t even try to compete with the view.
Sober, perfectly balanced New York decor breaks no new ground but ticks plenty of boxes.
Design terroir for travellers: The new Michelberger in Berlin and the Ace Hotel in New york might be pitching to the same young-minded, fiscally-aware demographic, but there’d be no mistaking which city you’re in when you wake up in the morning.
I keep coming back to this image. Just why is proving hard to put into words actually. But along with the beautiful weighty ceiling and the gorgeous rubber plant (fast becoming the latest thing in loft decor from Milan to New York I might add), I just really like the way they’ve arranged the furniture as if it wasn’t a warehouse space at all.
Pale blue used as the decorating gods intended… The work of the remarkable New York based stylists to the stars, husband and wife team Sixx Design.
American artist Phoebe Washburn‘s Wood Wall and Wood Wall as Safari Vest are two of the latest works of art to be transformed into digital wallpaper by the New York based wallpaper lab. The context shots are great. I love the way the room settings in the photos go against the usual gallery aesthetic, instead using the wallpaper around other distinctly textural finishes like brick and concrete and even real timber… The kind of work – both in its original and wallpaper format – that sets your mind racing.

Looking surprisingly restful and oasis-like really, (I love the way the white gravel seems to mirror the sky in this shot) this ex-industrial Soho courtyard is perhaps not so much an outdoor room as a private transition space. Giving the loft-dwellers above a leafy moment to steel themselves before hitting the street.
The rest of the apartment leaves me a little cold but I love what she’s done with the bath… This is the New York apartment of Donna Karan. And in the bathroom, stunning by virtue of the picture window alone, there lies a beautifully logical response to the interior designer’s constant dilemma: how to reconcile the bath and the vanity bench in the space of an average room?
The solution for Donna Karan is predictably minimalist – just use the one bench height for both. Pesky level changes and right-angles are eliminated here as the single slab of travertine supports first the tub and then the counter-top basin, just visible here on the right. Easy!
