IG accounts I keep coming back to: the finished room

Some interiors make you stop, despite the overdose on available projects online to dive into.

Processes and BTS documentations is what I featured last week. Today, it’s all about the finished room where all the decisions finally meet. Proportion, colour, material, lighting, art, furniture, and also restraint. When everything has been edited and brought together, you can see whether the individual choices actually belong to the same conversation.

These are six accounts I return to for that reason. They do not represent one particular style, but all regular find themselves into any favorite list because I deeply admire their craft and the work they share with the world.

KELLY WEARSTLER @kellywearstler

Kelly Wearstler has never been afraid of too much: too much colour, pattern, texture, scale or personality. And yet her rooms rarely feel accidental.

What I admire most is the confidence her spaces possess. She understands that contrast creates energy and that a room can be sophisticated without being quiet.

FLACK STUDIO @flackstudio_

Flack Studio has a wonderful ability to make contemporary interiors feel deeply considered rather than simply new.

There is colour, there is pattern, there are unexpected combinations, but always with a strong sense of composition. Their spaces feel expressive without losing their sophistication.

PAOLO MOSCHINO @paolomoschinoltd

This is where classicism becomes interesting.

There is a traditional foundation, but it is never treated too seriously. Unexpected art, colour, furniture or a slightly irreverent detail keeps the rooms from feeling predictable. PM is a great example why classic does not have to mean conservative.

RIVERBROOK @riverbrook__

I discovered Riverbrook trust via instagram just early this year and it has become one of my favorite accounts to scroll through for their beautifully collected quality.

Nothing seems to be shouting for attention. Instead, the rooms build their character through materials, antiques, art, texture and really good proportions. Innovative combinations and fresh take on materials and details that I have not seen before is the real luxury content here.

RAY BOOTH @rayboothdesign

Ray Booth's work always brings me back to architecture and the great collaboration with Mc Alpine @mcalpine .

Strong proportions, beautiful materials, restraint and an understanding of how furniture sits within the architecture rather than competing with it. To me, he is simply amongst the top 3 in the industry when it comes to space planning that is both innovative, sophisticated and functional.

There is something very timeless about his interiors. They feel finished, but never overworked.

DIMORE STUDIO @dimorestudio

And then there is Dimore Studio - frankly the complete opposite of restraint.

Moody, atmospheric, layered and wonderfully unexpected. Vintage pieces sit beside contemporary ones; colour and pattern create tension; patina becomes part of the architecture.

Their interiors remind me that beauty doesn't always come from harmony. Sometimes it comes from the friction between things that shouldn't quite work together, but somehow do. Also a recent discovery and a perk of the online world to discover such amazing studios.

Six very different approaches to the finished room. Ultimately, this is what keeps me interested in looking at other people's work. Not finding a formula, but seeing how different designers develop a point of view and carry it all the way through.

The finished room is where the designer's decisions become visible. When those decisions are good, you can feel them without needing an explanation or lots of behind the scenes content.
