Interiors: Madrid Apartment by Luis Puerta

Jan 21

I think we can all agree that the Spanish have a real knack for mixing modern and traditional. Take this apartment by Luis Puerta, a home where classic columns and reproductions coexist with contemporary artwork, furniture, and kitchen cabinetry. White walls seem to be the unifying factor, flowing from room to room, and, along with strategically-placed mirrors, ensure natural light is maximized. Of course, I must mention the floors, herringbone pine. How very, very pretty. I think I'm in love.

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.
