Tranquil Sophisticated Interiors With Gentle Elegance

Here’s hoping holiday hustling has hushed. There is probably not a day in December where we could use more calm, yes? These Tranquil Sophisticated Interiors with Gentle Elegance are an eclectic collection of beauty, harmony, thoughtful design, and timelessness. They are not rooms to copy but examples to study. What secrets are inside their light, color, shapes, and mood? From where does character flow? While we can never reduce beauty to a proportion of texture, architecture, and furniture, a closer look reveals what we find visually set apart. Pin any quotes that resonate too as we welcome a brand new year.

Tranquil Sophisticated Interiors With Gentle Elegance

Studio Peregalli Sartori

Founded in the early 1990s in Milan, Laura Sartori Rimini and Roberto Peregalli design architecture and interiors across the globe.

Isn’t this hall in a London home awe-inspiring?

You can learn more about the partners’ philosophy in two books: THE INVENTION OF THE PAST and GRAND TOUR.

Robin Rains

Known for her use of European antiques, she sources them personally as she travels to France, Belgium and Spain.

Robin opened a flagship showroom in the new Nashville Design Collective, a stunning gallery space overflowing with unusual one-of-a-kind European treasures. She also maintains a presence at Leiper’s Creek Gallery in historic Leiper’s Fork, TN.

Sims Hilditch

Emma Sims-Hilditch grew up immersed in a world of art, architecture and design. She started her journey into the interior design sphere more than 20 years ago, making curtains from her kitchen table.

In the years that followed, Emma developed the Sims Hilditch brand so that it has become synonymous with a timeless English living aesthetic reimagined with a fresh eye.

Heckfield Place

They regard themselves a place to call home, and this country haven has been sculpted over centuries by ancient heather, woodland, gardens, and meadows.

Heckfield Place is both tamed and gently wild, and isn’t that aesthetic expressed quite perfectly in the above moment!?!

D. Stanley Dixon

His Atlanta-based firm uses an edited approach towards classical architecture to create beautifully understated homes for clients nationwide.

See more from his book IN THIS.

Jill Egan Interiors

The designer expanded her business by opening what she calls, “her creative laboratory for all things beautiful.”

Located in the heart of the Rice Village District, at 2532 Amherst Street in Houston Texas. One look at her minimalistic magnificent home is a clue to the loveliness to expect!

(An elevated retail store with a gallery-like ambience where she offers custom furnishings and curated finds.)

Rose Uniacke

How would you describe a Rose Uniacke aesthetic? She’s fond of natural materials such as marble, linen, untreated wood and cashmere. Rooms are richly textured; but at the same time, they are furnished simply, even sparely, with strikingly clean lines.

Not austere, interiors are warm, welcoming and supremely comfortable with plenty of breathing room. The designer was featured for another consecutive year in Architectural Digest AD100 list.

The AD100 2024 list features 100 of today’s top talents in interior design and decoration.

More Poetic Interior Moments of Tranquil Elegance

What makes an interior feel poetic?

While it’s a subjective matter, for me it’s the sort of interior you might describe as: thoughtful,

lyrical,

storied,

and even playful without strict rules and structured forms.

As for interiors with elegant tranquility?

I tend to think of cooler tones when I imagine peacefully tranquil spaces, but then I see a regal space like the one above and quickly depart from such a parameter!

For me, light and the way it is honored in the design plays a part in such tranquil elegance.

And isn’t it a wonder that even more humble spaces can exude elegance?

There’s a pared down beauty and an attention paid to character and scale.

Somehow, even a layering of prints and patterns can feel unfussy and pleasantly soothing.

Wise Words to Accompany a NEW YEAR

This is the time of year I ponder what I will give myself to…this winter and this new year.

As much as we tend to focus on home and lifestyle on this site, isn’t it true our true home is the body? How will we tend to our homes this year? Will we open to more wonder and curiosity?

Are we willing to put on a new mind in order to get more free, more radically resilient?

What steps will we take to heal within ourselves, within our relationships, and for generations to come?

I hope we will manage anxieties awaiting in the new year with a renewed perspective.

And I pray we become more attentive as better listeners. (The internet provides all the evidence needed to prove there is a great need.)

Whatever oceanic journey awaits, may we be slow to judge it and agile as we surf the waves.

Is the hardest work of all simply maintaining daily practice? It remains fruitful for me to each morning open myself to mystery and prayer before I begin to move within the wonder of the day’s rhythms.

Thank you for meeting me here daily and sharing a bit of the journey together. So thankful for kindred spirits.
