Interior designer Abigail Ahern has been sharing little nuggets of advice that break the 'rules' of interior design – and it's something we can all take notes from. If lockdown has taught us one thing, it's highlighted all the changes we've wanted to make in the home, and now more than ever is the time to be bold, fearless and confident when decorating to help us create a space that we love and one that truly reflects our personality. Called AA's Musings, Abigail has been sharing design and style tips on Instagram that, quite literally, throws the rule book out the window. Abigail's tips ditch the 'boring' decorating rules that are 'restrictive and zap creativity', instead championing asymmetry over symmetry and using big furniture in small spaces. Abigail – who runs her own design boutique, has an interiors collection at Debenhams, and more recently a kitchen range with Herringbone Kitchens – is known for her cleverly curated collecti...

Whether moving into a new home or simply redecorating, there's no doubt you have every intention of maximizing the space, tapping into your personal aesthetic, and promoting good flow. Striking the balance between all three can be tricky, but it's definitely doable and will make your space feel way more inviting. With expert interior designer help, here are the most common flow-disrupting mistakes people make and what you ought to do instead. Placing Furniture Along Every Wall Arranging the bulk of your furniture against walls is a default move, but it can hinder the flow of your space. While some rooms may be more difficult to work with—such as those with multiple focal points, like a fireplace or massive window—you do have options. "Instead of pushing all your furniture against the walls, pick the focal point you use more frequently and forget the other," advises Liz Caan, an interior designer based in Boston, Mass. "Try placing a dominant piece of furniture—li...

Tesla's legion of superfans have been buzzing about the company's first all-electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, ever since Elon Musk unveiled the truck's unique design at a highly-anticipated event in November. But with the Cybertruck not slated to go into production until late-2021 — at which point, it will start at $39,900 — few people have been able to actually drive the much-buzzed about pickup. That's why comedian Jay Leno jumped at the chance to take the Cybertruck for a test drive — with Musk himself in the passenger seat, no less — in the latest episode of "Jay Leno's Garage" that airs on CNBC on Wednesday at 10 pm ET."It feels very much like any other Tesla. You get instant acceleration," Leno tells Musk while driving the Cybertruck near Tesla's Hawthorne, California headquarters. Tesla says the pickup can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.Leno also compliments the Cybertruck's "greenhouse," a term that re...

With many of us spending more time indoors over lockdown, homeowners are looking to change or improve their interior spaces. "Being responsible about how we do that would be a positive step forward." states Lauren McMullen, founder of the newly launched Altra Living. Coming from a background in interior design for the luxury property sector, McMullen is well versed in searching for quality products. However, what she couldn't fathom was how, and why, so many items, when removed as part of an interiors overhaul, would be discarded and inevitably sent to landfill. Drawing on her family background of construction, and combining this with a passion for change, she has set about in starting a new venture to bring a circular mindset to the luxury interiors market. The result is an online design platform where McMullen has curated a collection of home accessories all salvaged from commercial projects which have been repurposed and upcycled giving the treasures a new lease of ...

Chet Callahan of Chet Callahan ArchitectureLos Angeles Blending historical precedents with progressive ideals, architect Chet Callahan imbues spaces with what he calls "romantic functionalism." "We create form through careful consideration of the natural, the built environment and the future uses of the site," he said. "We aim to create environmentally sensitive buildings and enhance our clients' and our community's experience." A case in point is Mr. Callahan's renovation of a 1934 Spanish-style home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles to fit the needs of its new owners—a young family of four. He preserved the historical architectural details of the house, including the plaster cove moldings, the wooden floors and the wrought-iron embellishments. And he made it one with the landscape by adding large picture windows to...

When downtown L.A. restaurant Red Herring updated and upscaled its former Eagle Rock iteration, the project also became a bold debut for interior designer Marissa Zajack, who used her background in film and television to tell a vibrant and transportive "visual story." The relocated Red Herring opened in December 2019, the love child of husband-and-wife team Dave Woodall, the chef, and Alexis Martin Woodall, president of Ryan Murphy Productions. Zajack's credits include graphic design for shows and movies such as "Zombieland," "New Girl," "Bombshell" and the upcoming "The Boys in the Band" on Netflix. Martin Woodall met her when they worked on Murphy's 2006 movie "Running With Scissors," and since then has tapped Zajack for design advice and small jobs at the old restaurant, which closed early last year. The scope and undertaking of Red Herring 2.0 was new territory for them both. "I didn't exactly know w...

A home at Lake Como redesigned in the 1950s by architect-designer Ico Parisi has hit the market. The 6-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot villa lies in the Italian city of Como. The house, which has sweeping views of Lake Como and a separate apartment, is for sale for $2 million.   According to selling agent Tania Morabito, Alberto Ameri, the father of its current owner, bought the 19th-century property in 1948 as a family home. Ameri, who was a collector and an art lover, purchased it for its sunny location and city and lake views, she said. A few years later Ameri commissioned Ico Parisi to redesign a large part of the building and its gardens. The Como-based Italian architect-designer, who was renowned at the time for his era-defining midcentury modern designs, gave the traditional building a chic modernist makeover. And little has been altered since then, according to Morabito. Named Villa Ameri after its owner, the Lombardy property blends bespoke joinery and clean and curv...
