House

A matcha bar, hidden projector, and the coolest closet/dining room: These two best friends have crafted a one-of-a-kind rental home in Los Angeles.

Rachel and John initially worried this purchase was a “colossal mistake.” The kitchen counters were literally just plywood, furniture was painted around, and the house was a bit of a “disaster.” But it was also “weird in lots of good ways.”

There are so many beautiful couches (and boots!) in this home.

This small house hadn’t been updated for decades and was a “big mess,” but Harry and Marja renovated the whole house — they even taught themselves to plaster the walls in the bedroom.

Gina knows *exactly* where everything is in her 870-square-foot apartment; she's custom designed her home to house her treasures perfectly.

Camilla replaced 1970s light fixtures and painted nearly every room in the house with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White. But they haven’t erased the house’s history. “We have respected the age of our home and left many things as is.

“The color scheme for this project is double complementary: red-orange + blue-green/orange-yellow + blue-violet, which offers the visual interest and dynamic energy that occurs when pairing two sets of complementary colors together.”

"As a plant-collecting maximalist, I've blended greenery and decor to create such a peaceful and nature-inspired vibe," writes homeowner Jeremy Rebelo.

Amber Sherman has filled her home with all of her favorite things: “Pastels, carousels, candy, rainbows, carnivals, fairs, unicorns, fairies, nature, Alice in Wonderland, cats, rubber-faced vintage plushies, circuses, and iridescent anything!”

To bring in personality and charm to this rental, Sonja used “a lot of color, paint, art, and features that can be removed if/when needed ... so basically nothing can be a permanent change.”

“My home is a true reflection of our family — vibrant, creative, and ever-evolving. Color is at the heart of it all.”

Is this the most maximalist home in the world? Step inside this furniture designer’s wildly colorful home that’s an ode to Memphis design, bold hues, and energizing patterns.

Jeff built the crib, coffee table, and dining nook in this gorgeous renovated Toronto house, and Miranda gave it a boutique hotel vibe.

Jessica Salem and husband Edward “removed carpets, sanded the floors, painted, installed wardrobes, and changed light fittings and window dressings” to transform this 1970s home.
