I’ve been working the “saved” button overtime lately, so wanted to share a few projects that have recently caught my eye. I hope you enjoy these colorful spaces as much as I do.
Stephanie Barba Mendoza’s London Home
Stephanie Barba Mendoza’s home is a colorful delight. From a whimsical lemon lamp prominently displayed in the kitchen to the expert combination of colors and finishes in each room — there is a unique design takeaway around every corner. Barba Mendoza, who now resides in London with her husband and two sons, was born in Mexico and has become well known for her skilled use of color with clients. She tells Homes & Gardens, “It’s important to have fun with decor and I like to create some theatre and pair things in an unexpected way.”

Breezy Majorca Vibes in Beverly Hills
Azar Fattahi and Lia McNairy, who together run the interior design firm LALA Reimagined, weren’t planning for a full renovation of their Beverly Hills home.

A Sun-Filled Home in the South of France
If you caught my most recent post on my travels to Arles, you’ll know I just stayed in India Mahdavi’s Le Cloître and then stopped past her stunning studio and store in Paris.

Also located in the South of France, this light-filled home is one that Mahdavi designed for a family friend. The client wanted more restraint with color, but Mahdavi encouraged a bit of boldness to unify the home that was previously built in stages.

She tapped interior designer Tamsin Saunders to inject new life — and color — into the home she shares with her husband and three children. Using Rosie’s art collection as a jumping off point, they worked to incorporate tones found in the art and breathe new life into the once ‘greige’ spaces.

Studio Ashby’s Immersive Showcase in London
I recently got Studio Ashby’s book Home Art Soul and while I am in love with just about every project in it — the firm’s home in a former school for the underprivileged is truly stunning. The space, which serves an invitation to explore Ashby’s colorful approach to playful and layered interiors, also houses items from her homewares brand Sister by Studio Ashby.
