I am loving the lines and unity of this apartment.

Black + white

This is perfection. All the elements align, nothing to add, nothing to take away. Sexy black pillows and rug.

Floating platform steps! My fav!

The black wall and shelving really make the books jump off the wall…loving this pop(!) of green in the table, it is just enough of wow.

Sexy sexy. The forms create such a dynamic space even with just black and white.

Vertical niche of books+horizontal floating stone plane…I cannot get enough!

Meticulous placement of the art frames. I think I need a ladder in the bathroom like this.

Elegant arrangement of photography frames on a ledge. The whole space feels like a deep breath.

Love this pop of red in an otherwise neutral space.

I could not resist sharing these amazing images of the courtyard residence by Aidlin Darling Design. The fireplace and adjacent millwork designs are brilliant!

BODIE and FOU is one of my favorite blogs. Check out Karine of BODIE and FOU’s London home below…it is super chic!

I love the black tape on her family mood board! Paulistano chair by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, available here.

Her floorboards are gorgeous! I love the mix of the modern furniture with this worn floor full of character. Lima floor lamp available here.
