We've been feeling under the weather with a summer cold, staring at our computer and trying to focus. For a quick a pick-me-up, we decided to look at rooms by our favorite design firm, Ilse Crawford's Studioilse. It didn't cure our cold, but it did give us a nice break - one we thought you might appreciate, too...

Based in London, Studioilse is run by Ilse Crawford: designer, author, and former editor of Elle Decor. They specialize in "emotional design" - modernism with a humanist slant. Their rooms emphasize comfort and individual personality organized around the "bones" of modern design. They also create products and visual identities. For more information, click here.
