For Tiffany Thompson of Duett Interiors, symbiosis is vital. The spaces she creates are a genuinely collaborative effort between designer and client. "It really isn't about me," Thompson says, "but about how my work can inspire others to be the best version of themselves." Founded in 2019, her firm based in Portland, Oregon-has crafted cozy, livable interiors for families from Minnesota to Miami. Pro athletes and sporting-goods institutions have become her most loyal clients, as she's designed offices for Nike and homes for NBA stars like D'Angelo Russell. Later this year, she'll be expanding her profile with the release of a line of furniture and homewares. duettinteriors.com

Radioactive hues are deployed like neutrals in the work of Uchronia (see page 62), the Paris-based interior and furniture design studio founded by Julien Sebban (pictured at left, with his partner Jonathan Wray) in 2019. "We're not afraid of anything that could be seen as kitsch or passé," Sebban says. "We try to reveal the extraordinary in the underappreciated." Uchronia has brought its zest into historic interiors like Forest restaurant at Paris's Musée d'Art Moderne and more. Their collaborations with decorative arts stalwarts like silk manufacturer Prelle meld the old with the new, making an argument for how the past can be zhuzhed to remain exciting and fresh. uchronia.fr

Is it possible to simultaneously go back in time and leap forward? This was the challenge a couple set for themselves upon purchasing a salmon-pink 1869 house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, not far from Longfellow House, the National Historic Site that served as George Washington's headquarters during the revolution. We loved all the beautiful old details of this house, the homeowner says.
Just Like That, But Cheaper. -One writer tried to replicate a classic ELLE DECOR interior in his apartment. Could he do it for $500?
It was all about the green curtains. In 2008, to my great surprise, I was offered a ninemonth fellowship based in New York City. I had lived there twice before, both times unsuccessfully, meaning I had failed to create any kind of significant social life, and so this was a chance not only to do research for my new novel, but also an opportunity to get things right. I swore I wouldn't let the city break me a third time.
And How! - Decorator Nick Olsen transforms a Sag Harbor home into a Hamptons retreat with an irreverent humor.
If you must go to the Hamptons, however-because it is devilishly good fun, after all-you may notice an apparently modest, low-slung cottage on Sag Harbor's Main Street and think, with a comfortable sort of feeling, Now that is how a house should look.
