“The number one rule for a romantic life,” says Talia Mayden, “is never to use overhead lighting.” On this particular morning, the 30-inch paper lantern suspended from Mayden’s living room ceiling happens to be on, and to underscore the point, she rises from her seat to remedy the issue. To a visitor’s eye, the light switch is nowhere to be found—that is, until a tintype photograph is plucked from a ledge near the front door to reveal a white plastic switch plate.

Interior designer Tess Twiehaus begins her projects by brainstorming a list of keywords with her clients—descriptors of how they ultimately want their house to look and feel. “Light” and “airy” come up a lot, but that’s not what she heard when she sat down with a fashion-obsessed 30-something who had recently bought a 1,500 square foot Spanish-style home in Los Angeles. “One of the phrases that kept coming back up was ‘very sexy,’” says the Tess Interiors founder.

Tess Twiehaus wasn’t sure if her client would bite when the first update she proposed for her kitchen was covering the backsplash in black zellige tile. She hasn’t met many first-time homeowners who would dare to go that dark. But to the interior designer’s surprise, the 30-something-year-old who works in fashion took her up on it. “So we were like, let’s black out the whole area,” says Twiehaus.

A vintage map. A woman reading in front of a fireplace. A board game. These are the inspiration photos that interior designer Stefania Skrabak of Art Home Garden Interiors received from her client before beginning work on this Ulster Park, New York, abode. Unlike most mood boards that feature color palettes and fabric swatches, these images provided something different—they presented experiences, illustrating how the client desired to feel and live in the space.

His interior design roles at now defunct design startup Homepolish, coworking company WeWork, and short-term rental marketplace Sonder have provided him with access to so many homes and offices that he knew exactly what he wanted when he started his own apartment search in 2021.

Before Jean Parker became an interior designer and launched her studio, Le Jean Design, she worked in finance with Ruke Ufomata. So when Ruke and his wife, Blisse, purchased the unit next to their current apartment in a 1940s Clinton Hill co-op building, they immediately hired Jean to help combine the two into a single family home.
