Down to Earth

Down to Earth

Earthy and elemental, Edmund de Waal's bedroom is a reflection of the artist and writer's poetic. I've long been inspired by the thoughtful, meditative simplicity of his work, and his bedroom in Wales, seen here, is no exception. Get inspired with similar items from Lee Stanton by clicking through the gallery below.

Pattern Play

Pattern Play

I love the dynamic play of pattern, texture, and tone in this bedroom tableau taken from Cabana founder Martina Mondadori's Milan apartment. Playful, elegant, and full of personality, the editor's signature flair for bold and eclectic spaces can be seen on full display.

Island in the Sun

Island in the Sun

The Formentera home of Marni cofounders Consuelo and Gianni Castiglioni is a compelling invitation for doing less. The pair's island oasis is defined by its raw, elemental simplicity, commitment to natural light, and curated assemblage of antique textiles and vintage finds.

Alan Dodd's London flat has the artist's touch. A richly imagined cornucopia of Gothic relics, Victorian eccentricities, and personal heirlooms, the decorative artist's home feels like a vision out of something by Oscar Wilde. The atmosphere is playful, eclectic, and full of irregular charm. Get inspired with similar items from Lee Stanton by clicking through the galleries below.

A portrait of the artist by David Hockney. I love how the interior depicted in the painting is a mirror and extension of the space in which its hung.

  

  

The spirits of Sir John Soane and William Morris are alive and well in this irreverent mantlepiece tableau.

  

  

Incredible bamboo detailing and a dusky, vibrant color palette make this powder room one to remember.

Industrial Luxe

Industrial Luxe

In this Tuscan villa designed by Vincenzo de Cotiis, dramatic industrial architecture is offset by luxurious contemporary accents and sleek midcentury furniture. The dynamic play of scale and sparing use of color creates a sense of rhythm and harmony.

Midcentury Classic

Midcentury Classic

Legendary Danish designer Finn Juhl's Charlottenlund living room feels at once personal and timeless. With its emphasis on open space, natural light, and clean, softly contoured lines, the room is a vision of warm simplicity.

Elements of Style

Elements of Style

Designed by Antonio Citterio and Terry Dwan in the early 2000s, this Northern Italian home is characterized by rustic, elemental simplicity. Low to the ground pieces produce a dynamic sense of scale, while adding contrast and texture to their more severe surrounding architecture. The effect is earthy and relaxed.
