Boho Home Decor: 4 Homes That Remind Us How Timeless The Style Can Be

Boho Home Decor: 4 Homes That Remind Us How Timeless The Style Can Be

London’s Cheyne Walk presents a sedate streetscape that bears no witness, save some blue English Heritage plaques embedded in various façades, to its daredevil history. To the redbrick Georgian and Queen Anne houses and apartment buildings that line this Thames-side street in Chelsea, all manner of creative iconoclasts since the third quarter of the 19th century have gravitated. Querulous painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler bunked here, as did dandified tastemaker Christopher Gibbs, actor Laurence Olivier, and a few of the Rolling Stones, plus Marianne Faithfull.

“All of Chelsea is a fairy tale for me,” says Patrick Mele, a young decorator who is based in New York City but looks straight out of the Cheyne Walk playbook, with a tousled mop of dark hair foaming above an angular face that’s pure Egon Schiele. “My best friend growing up was English, so I have always been drawn to that Anglo sensibility. And I used to come here a decade ago, when I worked for Ralph Lauren, to work on the stores.” So, when Sara Tayeb-Khalifa and her husband, Hussein Khalifa, high-fived Mele’s zesty decoration of a bedroom in their Manhattan apartment, they offered to send him back across the pond to revamp the Cheyne Walk flat they had owned since the early 1990s.

“I had done it room by room by room, but nothing matched—plus, I no longer wanted safe,” explains the elegant Tayeb-Khalifa, a former Phillips executive who is partnering with sustainable-fashion designer Jussara Lee on collections of T-shirts and cushions. “I wanted to make it happy: happy colors, happy home.” To that end, her discussions with Mele were peppered with references to Auntie Mame, Miss Havisham, and the ceilings of old French bistros, stained “a color that reminds you of cigarettes, wine, bad alcohol, and more cigarettes,” Tayeb-Khalifa says with a laugh. —Mitchell Owens

When asked what someone unfamiliar with his biography might surmise simply by walking through his Melbourne home, Troye Sivan remains sanguine: “I’d hope they’d think that I’m an unpretentious guy, maybe a bit eccentric, someone who loves art and design, someone devoted to his family—and definitely the fact that I’m gay,” says the wildly popular 25-year-old Australian singer-songwriter and actor.

Indeed, if that hypothetical visitor happened to be a persnickety design snob, they’d surely not fail to register the array of treasures by the likes of Percival Lafer, Ettore Sottsass, Tobia Scarpa, and Marios Bellini and Botta; the cabinetry details inspired by Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé; and the bespoke, Memphis-flavored appointments of the bath and powder rooms. On a deeper level, however, it would also be crystal clear that this is the home of someone with the cultivation and confidence to recognize that great design is as much about suitability and nuance as it is about important objects and artworks.

“Troye is an incredibly savvy collaborator. In our earliest conversations, he talked about materiality, how he wanted to feel in his house, about the scent and the sound and the light. It was so much more than just a few pretty things he found on Pinterest,” recalls designer David Flack of local firm Flack Studio, Sivan’s partner in the sensitive, sophisticated reimagining of the singer’s Victorian-era home. 

The house in question is a genuine architectural gem. Erected in 1869 as a handball court, the building was converted into a brick factory in 1950 and then subsequently transformed into a residence in 1970 by renowned Australian architect John Mockridge, a fixture of the local art-and-design scene. The conversion is said to be the first adaptive reuse project of its kind in the city. “You can picture Mockridge and his friends sitting around drinking whiskey and talking about art. I wanted to preserve that bohemian spirit and honor the original architecture while creating something that feels like me,” Sivan says. —Mayer Rus

Interior Designers Are Getting Very Honest About 2023 Home Decor Trends

Interior Designers Are Getting Very Honest About 2023 Home Decor Trends

Every new year brings about a new slate of forecasted interior design trends. But I’ll let you in on a little secret: just because all the usual outlets are writing up the same predictions doesn’t mean that every designer out there agrees with them.

HGTV / Via giphy.com

To get to the bottom of which 2023 design trends designers are actually excited to see and which ones they feel “meh” about, I spoke with several experts to get their individual takes.

The experts were:

• Kiva Brent – Pittsburgh-based interior stylist and content creator

• Cliff Tan – London-based architect and author

• Briellyn Turton – Sydney-based interior designer

Here’s what they thought about the 10 forecasted trends that are popping up just about everywhere.

1.Bold Marble

✅ “Marble with its naturally dramatic veining makes it unpretentiously and effortlessly decorative and rich. Nothing screams old money more than something that’s actually a million years old.”

—Cliff Tan

🤷 “Bold marble is one of my favorite trends. I just love that people are craving ‘wow factors.’ That being said, I’ll never truly get behind bold marble countertops, because the staining is just too stressful.”

—Kiva Brent

2.Stripes

✅ “I’ve been very drawn to stripes in interiors recently! It’s likely to do with the nostalgia element, but it’s also a great way to give your interior space a little more dimension and interest without too much additional effort. Walls aside, we are also seeing stripes coming through furniture, too.”

—Briellyn Turton

✅ “Striped walls help a room feel more spacious, which is always a good thing!”

—Kiva Brent

3.Double Kitchen Islands

❌ “Out! The kitchen has always been the supporting act for the dining room, so unless you have double dining tables, double islands make no sense and never will. Not to mention Gen Z will tell you you’re ‘out of touch.'”

—Cliff Tan

❌ “Unless you have a family of 10, these are unnecessary. Plus, they remind me of lab benches.”

—Kiva Brent

4.“Nostalgic” Design

✅ “This one is coming back big time. In times of unrest, we naturally look into the past for familiar comforts. Nostalgic design is a really exciting style to me as it can’t be boxed into one strict design language, it’s all about an individual’s memories of past spaces. So for me, for example, I’m loving cork floors and striped wallpaper at the moment. Is it a coincidence both these materials were used heavily in my grandmother’s home? I think not.”

—Briellyn Turton

✅ “You can’t dislike ‘nostalgic’ design because it’s sustainable, and sustainability needs to be at the forefront of design. Just don’t forget to infuse some younger elements into the room to keep it current. For example, swap out the oil painting you have in a gilt frame for something contemporary. It’s a subtle but impactful substitution.”

—Kiva Brent

5.Enclosed Kitchens

✅ “People who actually cook know that a kitchen will never look as pretty as how glossy magazines make them out to be. A kitchen that’s separate from the living area where you can guiltlessly mess up and do some dirty cooking will definitely save relationships.”

—Cliff Tan

🤷 “I’m on the fence with this one. We’re already seeing this as people navigate work-from-home life and want to be able to separate work and home zones in their homes. I’ll always design homes with the idea that whoever does the cooking can do so without being boxed away and missing out on family life. If the client or brief calls for it, I’ll design an enclosed kitchen…but I think my default will remain an open kitchen.”

—Briellyn Turton

6.Gold Accents

✅ “Yes! This leans into one of the biggest trends to come in 2023 which has been dubbed ‘limitless luxe.’ This is the concept of ‘no limit to luxury,’ and a great example of this is the focus we are seeing now on beautiful laundry and powder room spaces. Searches on Pinterest for luxury laundry room ideas are actually up elevenfold in volume for the year.”

—Briellyn Turton

7.Dark Wood

✅ “Part of the reason ‘Sad Beige’ is sad is because of its lack of edge and contrast. Dark woods add sharp definition in a natural yet rich way — as long as you stick to woods that are naturally dark, such as walnut, as opposed to light woods that are stained dark.”

—Cliff Tan

✅ “I don’t think it has to be in lieu of light wood, but again, I think people are becoming more risk-taking in their interiors and so we are seeing darker and bolder materials being embraced more than before. Dark timber also feels very luxurious in the right setting which we know is a feeling our clients are wanting to evoke in their homes. I also think cottage core interiors could have had a helping hand in this one.”

—Briellyn Turton

8.The Return of All-White Kitchens

❌ “This one is to be expected. The ‘end’ of all-white kitchens will be a trend two years from now. It’s a vicious cycle.”

—Kiva Brent

✅ “White kitchens are no longer about minimalism, but about creating a clear and neutral backdrop for dramatic pieces that do add character. That said, white comes in a million shades, so make sure you choose the right kind of white to add warmth to the kitchen.”

—Cliff Tan

9.Art Deco Elements

✅ “Absolutely! I’ve heard it is affectionately named the ‘Art Deco Encore.’ I think it’s no surprise that the 2023 Pantone color of the year leans very nicely into the Art Deco palette. ‘Viva Magenta’ is a deep jewel-toned hue.”

—Briellyn Turton

✅ “This is probably one of the most difficult design styles to execute, besides maximalism, but I’m here for it. Art Deco design has so much personality!”

—Kiva Brent

10.“Floor Art” (aka Statement Rugs)

✅ “In. People are nervous to commit when it comes to interior design, and so everything becomes bland with block shades of neutral plainness. Rugs offer a convenient and noncommittal way to add pattern and personality into a room.”

—Cliff Tan

✅ “Yes, this will be a big focus in interior decorating for 2023, particularly oddly or misshapen rugs favoring asymmetry. This again leans into our desire for highly-personalized and unique interiors and, of course, maximalism.”

How Designer Raili Clasen Completely Overhauled a 1950’s Home

How Designer Raili Clasen Completely Overhauled a 1950’s Home

Designer, Raili Clasen

Ryan Garvin

Interior designers rarely design the same project twice, and even more rarely get to redesign their own former home… for a client. California-based Raili Clasen, however, did both. The owner of her eponymous design firm recently completed the five-bedroom Newport Beach bungalow that she originally designed for her family in 2012. This time around, though, she lovingly decorated the house for a client. Clasen says, “After we bought the home in 2012, it was my first attempt at interior design, which then prompted me to start my design business.”

Since she and her family moved out, the house has undergone a few changes, including a pool, pool house, and 1,000 square feet of extra space, giving Clasen plenty of room to work. That said, she kept with the original home’s style: “We honored the California ranch style by keeping the open beam ceilings and elevated the design with rich mahogany windows and vintage hardwood floors,” Clasen notes.

As for the client, “He has elevated taste but didn’t want the home to feel formal in any way,” she explains. So Clasen infused each space with warm and comforting palettes and touchable, soft textures.

She also made it family-friendly for the client’s three young children, a delightful redo for Clasen who added smile-inducing details. “Since this was my former home, I had some fun ideas that I never punted on; my DIY skills went into overdrive.” She wrapped the bar beams with rope—a subtle nod to the Southern California nautical lifestyle—painted a set of 1970s-inspired stripes across the reclaimed wood walls in one of the bedrooms, and created her own light fixture using electric-ready rope from Etsy.

“The home feels like a mini resort, ready to have fun,” Clasen says.

Living Room

“My favorite element in this room is the painted ‘craggy’ wood siding that we added throughout both the living area and kitchen,” Clasen says. “We found the most worn wood planks with knots and gashes and installed it vertically with a fresh coat of white paint.” The space is complete with a custom sofa, a pair of Lawson-Fenning chairs, and a custom live-edge coffee table by Orange County Woodworkers.

Living Room Lounge

“The home had a perfect little bump-out space, most likely for a small office. We reimagined it as a full bar. The original beams were wrapped in rope to complement the vintage boat cabinet hardware,” Clasen says. She finished the look with a pair of chairs from Four Hands and a vintage rug from Shoppe Amber Interiors.

Primary Bedroom

In the main bedroom, Clasen opted for a quiet and serene aesthetic. “The primary bedroom is one of my favorite spaces—mostly because of the beautiful views of the sunrise, swimming pool, and all of trees.” The best part is that the client doesn’t even have to get out of the custom built-in bed to enjoy the views.

Daughter’s Bedroom

Ryan Garvin

For a young girl with an appreciation for color, Clasen opted for uncommon shades that work for every age. “We wanted to tone it down so that she can grow out of it and still love the colors,” she notes. She draped a Cultiver duvet over the bed, hung a CB2 mirror over the Unison dresser, and called it a day.

Daughter’s Bathroom

Ryan Garvin

Clasen explains: “We had so much fun with tile throughout the home, but the daughter’s bathroom is special.” The designer used a funky pattern from Zia Tile and kept the rest of the space rather neutral, with wicker-wrapped Lulu and Georgia mirrors and decor.

’70s Striped Bedroom

Leave it to Clasen to design spaces that suit the lifestyles of her clients—even teenage boys. “The oldest son’s room reflects exactly who he is and what he loves. This teenager is no stranger to ’70s rock, and once we discovered that, we had to bring in the stripes.” The rest of the colors, including the yellow Cultiver bedding and the Like Leigh fabric on the custom bench, also tie in the theme.

Bunk Room

Ryan Garvin

Clasen created the ultimate sleepover room with custom trundle beds by Orange County Woodworkers.

Wave Bedroom

Ryan Garvin

In the middle son’s bedroom, Clasen designed a unique wall decoration that commands attention. “The wave was created by applying a photo mural directly onto the wall. Our woodworker created the frame once the mural was installed, cutting each piece to mimic the shape of a wave.”

Pool and Backyard

Ryan Garvin

Clasen says: “The client wanted to take advantage of the 20,000-square-foot lot, adding space for him and his three kids.” That meant the addition of a retaining wall to support the new pool, fire pit, garden, and pool house.

Outdoor Dining Area

Ryan Garvin

“The inspiration for the outdoor space comes from creating the ‘resort vibe’ in cool boutique hotels. Having a fire pit, farm-to-table gardens, and space for outdoor entertaining was a major priority for this backyard,” Clasen says. She surrounded the client’s table with Teak Warehouse chairs and opted for a collection of hanging lights from Crate & Barrel.

Al Fresco Bar

Ryan Garvin

“The pass-through window services the entire outdoor area, allowing easy access to drinks and food while family and friends are enjoying the pool. Clasen notes. “The kitchen is on the other side of the window, so guests can pull up a stool and chat while the hosts are prepping the meals and drinks.”

Q & A

House Beautiful: Where did the majority of the budget go?

Raili Clasen: The client wanted the vision to come to fruition: He wanted mature trees and full-size plantings, so that he and his family could start enjoying the outdoor space immediately. So the budget for landscaping by Bridget Skinner increased.

HB: What was your favorite memorable detail?

RC: Since this was my former home, it was both nostalgic and a dream-come-true to have the budget and excitement from the client to give this special property its best chapter ever.

HB: Did any of the rooms stay as they were?

RC: The kitchen actually remained the same. We did add a pass-through window, updated the plumbing and lighting, and incorporated an island with a butcher block countertop, but the rest is the same. The kitchen is small, but with the remodel, we were able to build a comfortable pantry adjacent to the space.

14 Interior Design Trends Here To Stay In 2023

14 Interior Design Trends Here To Stay In 2023

Inside structure developments come and go, but if you are at this time in the process of developing your dwelling, purchasing a new a person, or just executing a brief house refresh, you are in all probability undertaking a deep dive into what the subsequent massive interior style tendencies are. Right after all, even though you want to avoid the interior design developments heading away, you shouldn’t let traits entirely dictate your interior design selections. “A perfectly-developed property tells your story not the tale of the large retailer who’s finally additional intrigued in your wallet than your partitions,” states Shay Holland, interior designer, and star of HGTV’s Unfinished Organization. “The most unforgettable spaces—while they may well be educated by trends—boldly convey a person’s distinctive style and which is tricky for any a single development to seize.”

Nevertheless, if you might be planning to provide your house in the coming 12 months or will need some path for your most up-to-date structure job, trends are essential to contemplate. Here are fourteen developments interior designers are forecasting will be right here to continue to be for 2023.

Open up Floor Programs

Open up ground strategies have turn into rather controversial in the past year. While many designers have declared open ground programs over, Holland does not assume this pattern is definitely heading absent any time before long. “Open spaces enable us to do existence jointly. And even though modern-day residence/do the job residing frequently calls for privateness, most of us never want to be isolated in a area all working day.”

In addition, developers want their homes to attraction to as many opportunity potential buyers as feasible, so they are nonetheless building open up ground strategy residences. Finally, it’s just a additional functional preference. This is particularly genuine of open up kitchens for people with younger kids. There are also easy ways to create privacy inside of open ground plans.

“Open ground strategies that function smarter and can be conveniently divided into zones as wanted, and for new construction, this will indicate layouts that presently include flexible rooms that can be turned into places of work or gyms. For some men and women, open up thought is effective simply by putting in sliding doorways or including chairs that swivel so they can experience the couch for a hearty conversation or switch toward the tv for motion picture night time,” explains Holland.

Together the very same traces, inside designer Jennifer Hunter of Jennifer Hunter Design also agrees that multi-function areas are here to remain. “Multipurpose spaces will be a craze to maintain in 2023. For example, I constantly incorporate a sport desk in all of my residing rooms because I want clients to be ready to definitely use that room for a multitude of good reasons.”

Sustainability

From electrical vehicles to natural and organic foodstuff and OEKO-TEX materials, we have all come to be additional concerned about the environmental affect of our buys. All round, people today are turning absent from rapid furnishings and opting for made use of and classic pieces as an alternative. Audrey Scheck of Audrey Scheck Structure predicts that sustainability will only continue on to be a priority among the individuals and designers. It can also be far more practical. “Given how prolonged guide instances are in the current weather, incorporating vintage is an easy way to mitigate the head aches induced by source chain and production holdups,” she says.

Minimalism

Love it or hate it, minimalism is in this article to say. “Like neutrals, forecasts about the demise of minimalism are enormously exaggerated. Sparse minimalism, [such as in] Kim Kardashian’s home, has under no circumstances been thoroughly mainstream, but a drive to simplify and live with objects that spark pleasure remains a collective aspiration,” suggests Holland.

However, Chelsea Marks, founder of on the net home furniture boutique Paynes Gray sees this trend evolving towards more of a Japandi model, “It’s the current minimalist design that is using in excess of. Imagine minimalist but warm, inviting, easy normal texture—a tiny a lot more personality than the typical minimalist or Scandinavian model.”

Neutrals

Neutrals have had a robust existence in current a long time. It’s simple to understand why. Neutral hues are uncomplicated to include into most design strategies, whether or not they are fashionable, present-day, standard or somewhere in in between. “Every yr we listen to neutrals are going absent and each and every year they occur back more powerful than ever. Neutrals will reign supreme so extended as there are white sand seashores and midnight black skies,” claims Holland. “Like components in nature, neutral areas are developed to remind us of what issues most by stripping away the extraneous visible sounds. Neutrals discuss to our core with an invitation to relaxation and reset.”

Nevertheless, she sees preferences gravitating toward various neutral shades. “In 2023, count on colours we do not typically look at neutrals to join this stage—desaturated blues and greens, tones of desert sand, sunlight-washed terra cotta. With paint colour names like Sherwin Williams Foothills, Behr’s Blank Canvas, and Benjamin Moore’s Tofino Sunset, 2023’s ‘spicier’ neutrals will proceed to provide spaces that remain quick on the eye but injected with (muted) colors.”

Marks also sees neutral tastes altering. “Gray had a terrific 10 years but it’s been long gone and is keeping gone. It’s all about a warm beige or gentle taupe tan. That goes for paint, carpet, upholstery, carpentry, warm all-natural wood flooring, and so forth. Then we’re including in our pops of color like common in decor.”

Unpredictable Components

Bid farewell to Live Giggle Like indications due to the fact Scheck declares unpredictable accessories will reign in 2023. “In the coming yr, we count on to see a increase in much more attention-grabbing and sentimental accessories. Whilst issues like coffee table textbooks will keep on being staples, we predict that we’ll be looking at more meaningful pieces built-in into structure ideas. Illustrations of this include things like relatives heirlooms or classic pieces that are a single-of-a-kind. To accomplish this seem, test viewing your community antique or thrift store to see what exclusive home decor and household furniture items you can come across.”

Not guaranteed in which to shop? She recommends scouring Etsy, Chairish, and Facebook Marketplace.

Natural Components and Earth Tones

Mother nature has a calming outcome, which is critical in our chaotic entire world currently. So, natural resources and earth tones are not likely to look dated any time before long. Scheck claims we really should hope to see loads of wooden and hues impressed by nature, which includes mossy greens and peaceful blues. “One of our most loved ways to incorporate all-natural factors is by sourcing are living-edge tables made from lovely, uncooked woods.”

One more way to reach this glance is with the addition of greenery. “This can be as uncomplicated as going for walks outside the house and snipping branches or stems from your surroundings. Layer them into vessels all around your household among earth-toned vessels, textiles, and art impressed by character.”

Boho Kinds

Acquire the macramé off the wall and push all those floor cushions into the closet. Whilst Boho has been significant for many years now, Holland predicts a much less stereotypical, parred-back version of this trend for the upcoming. “In the past, this type has been closely motivated by suppliers like City Outfitters Household and YouTube influencers where there is a more youthful audience, but now it’s escalating up. We’ll see much more curated Boho spaces that continue to celebrate hand craftsmanship and artistry but with a much less hippie vibe.”

Patterns And Daring Colours

She also endorses selecting black household furniture or decor to mix amongst lighter-toned pieces in the home. “You could also select patterned furniture (stripes, floral, plaid, and many others.) or combine designs by way of extras such as pillows and toss blankets.”

Common Style and design

“I have found a rise in far more common design and style aspects specifically coastal Grandma which I think will keep on into 2023,” claims Gray Walker, of Grey Walker Interiors and an Ambassador of The New York Layout Center’s What’s New, What is Following.

These palettes are a great starting level for sudden color palettes,” suggests Amy Pigliacampo of Amy Pigliacampo Interiors.

Checkerboard Patterns

Checkerboard patterns have experienced a important comeback in latest a long time. “It started out as super large contrast but is softening into a extra tone-on-tone appear that allows this motif to be much more versatile and considerably less fashionable…much more abstract takes on this thought like wild variation in scale are showing up in rugs, textiles, and components in fresh new hues,” states Pigliacampo.

Dim Academia

Both way, a darkish contrasting room is a good position for solitude, reflection, and review.”
