Inspired Interior

The home of famed YouTube Beauty Vlogger, The Raeviewer, is the perfect example of simple modern glam and these weeks feature in my Inspired Interiors Series. Rae recently took on the arduous task of renovating her two-bedroom Southern California apartment, which she shares with her adorable Australian Sheppard, Beau, to create a space that reflects her style, penchant for luxury, and one that I could happily move into! You might just want to as well, but much to both of our dismay we’re probably better off trying to find an apartment for rent in downtown San Diego and style it to our particular liking.

Clean lines and a neutral palette create the perfect backdrop for this dreamy custom-made blue velvet sofa. In keeping with Rae’s preference for a minimalist aesthetic, the durable cowhide rug provides both function and beauty. Rae did mention that she is considering adding more standout pieces into her apartment though. She’s currently looking into neon lighting at www.neonfilter.com.

Mantles get a lot of attention during the winter months and holidays, but if you’re lucky enough to have a mantle in your space, they are a great place to add interest and decor all year around.

This stunning Cape Cod retreat belongs a Boston philanthropist who grew up summering on the island. When it finally came time for a space of her own she turned to Hutker Architects, decorator Richard Hallberg and C.H. Newton Builders to create the relaxed, yet polished interior. An incredible lesson in interior design and this weeks addition to my Inspired Interiors Series.

A neutral palette dominates throughout the house, spotlighting the homeowners impressive art collection. When I spoke to the homeowner afterwards, I asked how he got into art collecting. He suggested that I check out websites like https://hamiltonselway.com/fine-art-buyers-guide to learn more, but it was so useful to talk to him. Art is something I’m very passionate about and the artwork in this house was beautiful. The ceilings of many of the rooms are enhanced with reclaimed timber, which brings an instant patina to the new home.
