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.

Decorative Arts

Decorative Arts

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.

I've long been inspired by the work midcentury Italian design legend Gabriella Crespi. Here, in a still taken from her Milan penthouse, one can see her flair for the dramatic and natural in full effect. Get inspired with similar items from Lee Stanton by clicking through the gallery below.

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.

Clear As The Day

Clear As The Day

The Brussels home of Belgian architect David Van Severen has a cheerful, airy quality that feels approachable, yet thoughtfully composed. A lesson in contrast and harmony, preserved original 19th century architectural accents provide warmth and texture to the home's otherwise clean, modernist lines. The result is a stylish and serene personal oasis.

Paris Blues

Paris Blues

The Paris apartment of musician Nicolas Godin is charged with a moody, romantic atmosphere. Spare yet luxurious, the Seventh Arrondissement home sticks to a palette of dusky blues, grays, and greens. A playful mix of industrial and classical antiques keeps the tone feeling modern and fresh. Get inspired with similar items from Lee Stanton by clicking through the galleries below.
