Well-maintained plants are a necessity in the garden, but they can make an immediate and unforgettable impact on indoor environments as well.

And don’t forget unique pots & planters to help them fit into your interior! This post describes thirty of our favorite self-watering planter designs that look great indoors and take the pain out of trying to keep your plants topped up with just the right amount of moisture....

The movie set of The Ghost Writer (released as The Ghost in the United Kingdom) is a stunning beach house in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts with sleek Walter Knoll interior in a deep muted color palette, but as this was just a set, this dream house remains just a dream; in fact, the movie was not even filmed in America due to the fact that the notorious cult director Roman Polanski was not allowed to enter the country....

In a world where commutes are optional and the kitchen table can double as a conference room, the way we live—and work—has shifted. For a young couple ready to embrace this new rhythm, the Monoline Apartment, designed by Berezen Studio , became a quiet revolution in design. A space that’s as functional as it is calming, and as thoughtful as it is minimal. Their vision was clear: simplicity without sacrifice. A seamless layout that supports daily rituals, from Zoom meetings to slow breakfasts, and even dreams of a growing family....

Some homes make a statement the moment you walk in. And The Poetic Home (by Taras Kaminskiy ) does it with the grace of Italian neoclassic design. There’s timeless elegance layered with modern ease. It’s not a museum piece, but a living, breathing space where history meets the present.

For years, social media has shaped how homes are styled. Perfectly folded throws, spotless kitchens, color-coded bookshelves, and rooms that look more like sets than places where real life happens. But a quieter, more honest design movement is taking hold. The Ungram House is not about rejecting beauty. It’s about rejecting pressure. It celebrates spaces that are flexible, forgiving, slightly imperfect, and genuinely comfortable. Homes designed for people who cook, rest, work, argue, host friends, raise kids, and spill coffee on the sofa....

Thai getaway Casas del Sol , in Koh Tao, brings a customized contemporary twist to the luxury beach bungalow, embracing progressive designs by Australian Interior Designer, Christina Saenz de Santamaria . The fresh concept seen throughout the villas has been labeled as ‘Boutique Beach Chic’, which is defined as understated luxury with a modern tropical influence.

While Scandinavian-style designs with lots of light wood, white walls, and pops of pretty greens and yellows are certainly popular, that type of color scheme is not the only way to bring sophistication into your home. When we think of blacks and grays, they can feel damp, cold, and unwelcoming, but in the hands of the right designer, they are anything but. The two homes featured here use black, gray, and white (with the occasional color) to great effect, creating spaces that are sleek, simple, and stylish but still functional and even welcoming....

Houseplants provide unparalleled value to any home. They purify and freshen up the air, raise humidity on dry days, and some studies even suggest that being around plants can boost concentration and reduce stress. All of these benefits are great reasons to invest in a little interior greenery, but another reason is even more obvious: plants are beautiful! Both homes featured in this post embrace different creative techniques. The first apartment creates miniature forests from raised planters and vertical gardens , and the second home embraces a subdued desert theme centered on a collection of tall cactuses....

For those who collect, display areas might be the most important part of a home design. The two homes highlighted in this post belong to collectors of books and decorative treasures, necessitating a large amount of space for storage without compromising on style.

The second home relies on stylish shelves with a more traditional arrangement, yet the overall effect is no less stunning....

The famous Australian photographic artist, Marian Drew, wanted a house in which she and her family could enjoy their weekends, and felt a construction derived from the concept of a luxury campsite would fit the bill. The unique holiday home was designed by Simon Laws of Anthill Constructions , and is located on the Queensland coast amongst mature Bloodwoods and Cabbage Palms, in the town of Seventeen Seventy. The living and sleeping pods, and the bath house, of the Drew House were built and fully completed in Brisbane, and transported across 500km to the chosen site....

Sparse colour tantalises in these four small interior designs, used in moderation so as not to overwhelm the limits of each space. Neutral decor remains dominant to paint the illusion of increased volume, and guide more natural light throughout. The studio apartments all measure under 40 square metres, so you’ll also discover some super resourceful layouts at play here. Dynamic storage systems prevent the limited living areas from becoming overwhelmed with belongings, whilst clever layouts divide space effectively to conquer small home challenges....

Fresh white decor, flourishing green plants and intriguing art collections shape these two very different home interiors. One highly decorative neoclassical home interior is filled with ornate panel doors, a sculptural and dominant jade tile fireplace, and a mix of traditional and modern furniture pieces.
