ELLE DECOR

AROUND THE TABLE

CONVERSATION PIECE • The object everyone is, will be, or should be talking about. This month: Kelly Wearstler’s fringe-forward lighting radiates Art Deco drama.

ETCETERA • The little things are the big things. This month: Who doesn’t need a better butter dish?

SHE’S COOKING • Alison Roman parlayed her tiny Brooklyn kitchen into Instagram stardom. Now she’s ready to move on—in a home upstate, with her first baby and her fourth book.

FRIENDS AT HOME • Only Mrs. Rachel Lambert Mellon’s inner circle called her Bunny. Chief amongst them was Tiffany & Co. jewelry designer Jean Schlumberger. The fruits of their aesthetic bond continue to inspire and can be seen throughout a new collection, and in all corners of her beloved Oak Spring farm. Elle Decor was invited in.

ARCHITECTURE OF TIME

KEEPING HOUSE • Artist Hugh Hayden courts the humor and horror of everyday life.

THE EMPEROR OF PARIS • RH CEO Gary Friedman has realized a life’s dream with this fall’s opening of RH Paris—equal parts gallery, emporium, design studio, library, and mustsee restaurants.

END PAPER • This collection of decorative tiles from Texas-based interior designer Annie Downing looks good enough to eat. Hand-crafted in Morocco with Popham Design, the Marrakech-based studio and workshop of Americans Caitlin and Samuel Dowe-Sandes, the collection features four motifs in 20 punchy hues, all cleverly designed to mix, match, and move seamlessly from indoors to out.

CALM, COOL & COLLECTED • A sleek and simple kitchen allows there to be food for thought, with clean lines and appliances that are, dare we say it, chic?

THEY’RE NATURALS

WE ARE WHERE WE EAT • How did kitchens become the new Rorschach test, immediate identity indicators open to interpretation and analysis, admiration and judgment? These six Elle Decor case studies reveal much about client and designer—and also, probably, a bit about you, too.

New Britannia • Rita Konig has reimagined that most British of spaces, the kitchen, into a place ready for everything from family gatherings to fashionable parties.

COLOR ME HAPPY • Normal, shmormal. Designer Ghislaine Viñas is looking to spark not just joy but euphoria, from the moment you open the door. “I want to put to put a smile on your face,” she says.

MISTER KITCHEN • Those light-splashed tiles, that range for cooking the perfect lazy breakfast, the storage that’s actually chic? There is no one who does it better than design’s all-American hero, Steven Gambrel.

YES, CHEF • Culinary star Daniel Humm ordered up the consummate bachelor pad from his buddy, designer Tommy Zung. Then along came Cupid, in the form of his now-wife, actress Annabelle Dexter-Jones.

RECIPE for a House • The way we party evolves. Shouldn’t where we party adapt accordingly? Two media veterans approach a renovation with friends, and dinner, in mind.

THE JOY OF DECORATING • Two houses, a party barn, and five—count ’em, five—kitchens. For the indefatigable Joy Moyler, taking...
