Beirut Living: Designer May Daouk's Villa

This stunning home in Beirut, Lebanon belongs to interior designer May Daouk, who moved back there from New York 10 years ago. She remade this gorgeous late 19th century villa with a sea view and a tree shaded terrace. Her home oozes tradition with a mix of western influences. The Triple arch is key to the home, and is also a traditional feature of Lebanese homes, that works as a divider to break the open home into a smaller rooms. Each room boasts its own colour scheme and eclectic decor, but purple and gold are prevalent throughout the home.

Black and White and Brown All Over

This home in Pennsylvania, designed by Darryl Carter, is a great mix of family history, country style and contemporary chic. It also mixes classic american flair with exotic travel artifacts. I love the naked wood ceiling supports in the kitchen, contrasting with the white cabinets and black counters. The theme of black, white and brown, which flashes of other colours thrown in, is repeated throughout the home. Check out more at Elle Decor.

This Brooklyn apartment is so simple, seeing as theres really only 3 tones in the design, yet it stays impeccably elegant and regal. The gold is placed strategically as to not be overpowering, but accentuate important features of the room.
