Re: FOR CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS FANS

Interesting you should say that about the architectural details not 'matching up'  with the modernity of his style, @shoptilyadropagain , and @kaydee50 .  Valid point.

 

I too, wondered when I saw the sort of vaguely Mediterranean/ French look of the house, if I would like his contemporary touches.  The arched windows and internal openings, kitchen, the fireplace, etc. are not contemporary.

 

Normally, I do like when the architecture of a dwelling is consistent with the interior design.  But in this case I didn't mind-- I thought the occasional traditional aspects of the house further "softened" the modern elements.  But that's my own bias toward traditional things showing!

 

I bet this RH showroom below is more your speed, with the windows, hearth and all the architecture making a more consistently modern backdrop, to the modern furniture and decor.

and I DO NOT like a house whose architecture and interior design are so matchy-matchy.  It looks pretentious.  I would be so uncomfortable in that picture above, RH.  I would have to hurry out the next day and find a buyer for that room's furnishings and I would load it up with more traditional to keep it from looking so staged, pretentious and unwelcoming.
