Designer Peter Dunham reimagines this Newport Beach, California home to maximize the outdoors and embrace its colorful wonders.

American designer Kelly Wearstler scoured vintage shops to source the eclectic furniture to decorate the living room-style lobby of this Santa Monica hotel.

We hate to break it to you, but summer is more than half over. Luckily, you still have time to travel to a beachside destination in the south of France, a quaint Spanish villa, the heart of Hong Kong, or Louisville, Kentucky (trust us, it's a thing). Embrace August's wanderlust and the spirit of the season by staying at some of the best new design-focused properties.

Restaurant architecture, interiors and design including luxury eateries, dining rooms, food outlets, fast-food joints and temporary restaurants.

Days grow longer and sunlight is teasing us, so let’s take it to the outdoors! Let yourself be inspired by this selection of sofas for terraces, gardens, patios, the poolside or just any place in exterior where you want to sit comfortably and enjoy fresh air! #celebratedesign #outdoorfurniture #summeriscoming
