The Manhattan apartment of architect David Howell and interior designer Steffani Aarons really speaks (more like screams) to my modern sensibilities. It's light-filled and layered, incorporating soft textiles, natural surfaces, and modern furnishings to create a family-friendly retreat. My favorite feature, strangely enough, is the lighting. Sconces, floor lamps, chandeliers... it's all good. Although, the travertine fireplace is pretty killer, too.

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
