Join designer Eddie Ross as he renovates his historic Pennsylvania home. When it came to planning the master bathroom in Edgewood Hall, a modern-day men’s-club vibe seemed perfect for our 1920s home. But first, we had to actually build a master bath. Like a lot of older houses, Edgewood Hall didn’t originally have en suite baths. So we took a twin-sized guest room adjacent to our bedroom and converted it into a luxe walk-in closet and bathroom. Luckily, we didn’t have to worry about redoing the floor—I love a hardwood floor in a bathroom!—which meant that Jaithan and I could splurge on the shower tiles, a showstopping Kelly Wearstler for Ann Sacks geometric pattern in deep green and white marble. And when we couldn’t find the right store-bought vanity, my…

Maybe it’s the warm weather that has us dreaming of far-flung locales, but this summer, we’re crushing on Indian block-printed bedspreads. We love using the endlessly versatile textiles as tablecloths, à la legendary hostess Pauline de Rothschild. Or taking a page from Bunny Williams and draping one over a sofa for an easy update. Skip the dorm-room-quality knockoffs and go for the real thing: Marigold Living, Anokhi, and Simrane are a few brands that source from Indian artisans, helping to preserve centuries-old techniques. “When they’re washed in the river and dried in the sun, somehow the colors pop differently,” says Marigold Living founder Shreya Shah. “It’s painstaking, but otherwise, why bother?”…

SAFETY WHITE 08 BENJAMIN MOORE “This high-gloss enamel paint—a clean, slightly warm white—provided a fresh new layer on the floors of my historic old seaside house on Long Island. Painted floors are casual but can be elegant at the same time; just add more coats as needed every few years—the thicker the better!” THOMAS O’BRIEN TERESA’S GREEN NO. 236 & PITCH BLACK NO. 256 FARROW & BALL “For a quick office makeover, I wanted something high-impact that wouldn’t require a lot of money or time, so I created a DIY tumbling-block pattern on the floor with lovely mint green, black, and white paint. Because the flooring was so busy, I kept everything else simple: lots of white with metallic gold accents. The space feels elegantly refreshing.” BRITTANY JEPSEN GREEN SMOKE…

Get ready to be floored: The game-changing rugs that artisan Ben Soleimani just added to his RH, Restoration Hardware line might have the look and feel of old-school wool, but they’re crafted from high-tech, moisture-wicking fibers that resist stains. Sophisticated and lush, the collection’s 11 hand-spun and handwoven indoor carpets tweak tradition by abstracting centuries-old Moroccan, Persian, and Ottoman motifs. The designs embody Soleimani’s pared-down philosophy in more ways than one. Says the fourth-generation antique-rug seller: “This collection is about simplifying, and not just the designs. Life is complicated enough—why worry about a carpet?” rh.com Performance Patiné Rug by Ben Soleimani for RH, Restoration Hardware. Hogarth Chair in Baltic Blue Mohair Velvet, George Smith.

What’s intriguing are the things that are slightly off. A lot of different elements are welcome to live together here.—MARC APPLETON We worked the old-fashioned way, picking pieces we loved without knowing exactly where they might go. THIS NEW HOUSE FEELS AS IF IT’S BEEN WATCHING THE TIDE FOR A CENTURY. MARC APPLETON: Our client asked for the unpretentious, easygoing informality of an old Shingle Style place. She and her husband had spent many summers in a 19th-century house nearby and loved the accumulated layers of detail and patina. It wasn’t winterized, though, and as their children neared college age, the owners wanted to vacation here year-round. The challenge was to create a comfortable all-season house that looked as if it had been built by anonymous locals, casually added onto,…

For parents raising two kids, ages six and four, in an open-plan urban apartment, Lilly Bunn created a great room as multitasking as it is multigenerational. “Everything happens here, from dinner parties to finger painting,” she says of the all-in-one space, which serves as dining room, living room, family room, playroom, and backyard. Not wanting the parents to be second class citizens, forced to suffer with practicality and plastic toys until the tween years, Bunn—a mom of three who also lives in the city—sidestepped the precious and formal and gravitated instead to contemporary pieces and unfussy materials. A cheerful palette set the relaxed tone, while sculptural lighting and modern art gave the room Manhattan polish. Bunn says the “serendipitous, free-form” look is in tune with today’s laid-back parenting: “We spend…

For Katie Martinez, the dusty neutrals and barefoot vibes of California living have always held a certain allure—a response to her East Coast upbringing. The New Jersey native, who holds degrees from Dartmouth College and the Parsons School of Design, cut her teeth decorating hotels across the globe with New York’s Rockwell Group until she bid the Big Apple adieu. “I quit my job and drove across the country!” recalls Martinez of her one-way trip to the Golden State. After settling in San Francisco, she worked for the Wiseman Group and Nicole Hollis, eventually rising to studio director; in 2013, she opened a shop of her own, where she whips up inviting rooms on both coasts that marry the tactile textures of Cali-modern with a dash of traditional Shaker style.…

If your journey to healthful living has you running from supermarket to fitness studio to nutritionist and back again, here’s an invitation to stay home. The most powerful decisions about well-being are made in your head—and around your house. Our four-part Whole Home Project is a primer on how your house can enhance the whole you: your energy, your peace, your happiness.

Read on for a bounty of ways to start living better now. It’s been dubbed “nature deficit disorder.” Americans spend 90 percent of their lives indoors, according to the Environmental Protection Agency—and nearly 11 hours a day in front of a screen, reports Nielsen. Luckily, the cure…

WILL WHITE WALLS EVER NOT BE YOUR SIGNATURE? DARRYL CARTER: I would be foolish—and unemployable—if I went around only painting walls white. But yes, I did my trademark paint-everything-white thing here. There’s a logic to it, though! When the clients hired me, I faced a challenge: harmonizing two different houses from two different time periods that had been merged into one home with a farmhouse style. The small bedrooms on the first floor, with their tongue-and-groove paneling, are from the property’s original 1900s cottage. The master bedroom downstairs and the big, open-plan common areas upstairs are part of an addition built by a previous owner in the 1980s. The more recent construction was all drywall, devoid of character and out of scale with the turn-of-the-last-century cottage. How could I get…

FOR MORE DETAILS, SEE RESOURCES The kids are out here from sunup to sundown. They swim and then go inside the poolhouse to play games. At night, the adults come out and enjoy a cocktail. It’s a small space, but it gets so much use. FOR MOST PEOPLE, a 200-square-foot detached garage would not seem rife with decorative possibilities. But Lindsey Lane is not most people. Along with her down-to-the-studs renovation of a client’s Palm Beach house (as seen in House Beautiful’s February 2018 issue), the designer—who has offices in Connecticut and New York City—set out to make the home’s underutilized garage into a stylish poolhouse to go with the new pool, which she also decorated. “It’s a space that every member of the family can use and have fun…
