If you are in need of interior inspiration, look no further. Over the course of 2024, CULTURED offered readers a peek inside the spaces where interior designers, artists, and other creatives live, work, and dream. We've brought together 10 of our favorite rooms below, from a wood-paneled dining room in Gramercy Park to a Richard Neutra-designed Los Angeles living room that brings the outside in.
How Interior Designer Olivia Song Transformed Her Brooklyn Townhouse Into a Bohemian Treehouse
The interior designer’s Cobble Hill abode is a leafy reprieve in the middle of the city. Song’s vision of openness is striking throughout: Take, for example, the cantilevered kitchen, pictured above, which juts out into the backyard and into the foliage of a cluster of old plane trees, likely planted when the original home was built in 1840.
How Interior Designer Oliver Furth Transformed the Biggest Fixer-Upper in His Neighborhood
Four years ago, design-world couple Oliver Furth and Sean Yashar brought their jobs home with them when they turned a retro Nichols Canyon residence into their dream home. Here, works of different decades commune, revealing surprising commonalities. It’s where a reissued Albert Hadley print is the linen slipcover to Louis XV fauteuils, or the iridescence of early 20th-century Zsolnay ceramics mirrors that of a much more recent Katie Stout.
Interior Designer Alyssa Kapito Reveals Her Ideal Shopping Itinerary and Essential Decorating Rule
To mark the release of her new monograph, which includes the interior pictured above, the New Yorker sat down with CULTURED to discuss her love of collecting, "Gotham style," and the importance of texture.

Photographer Joshua Charow Takes You Inside New York's Last Remaining Artist Lofts
By knocking on countless stranger’s doors, the photographer immortalized more than 50 hidden artist havens protected under an obscure 1980s law. The last artist in the book is an 89-year-old woman named Anne Mason. She moved into her fifth-floor walkup in Little Italy in 1966 and is pictured here surrounded by objects from her and her husband's 60 years in the space.
Here’s How You Can Stay at the Most Well-Designed Oasis in the Hudson Valley
Earlier this year, design and lifestyle maven Jenni Kayne opened the doors of her latest passion project: a blissful retreat in upstate New York. Every inch of the Farmhouse has been exactingly conceived—down to a hand-tied plush silk rug, an exhaustively burled wood hutch, and a taupe throw in especially fuzzy alpaca wool.
The interior designer helped turn a monumental Wainscott home into an art-filled hideaway. It’s the oft-discussed Hamptons light that accentuates Weingort’s splashes of color and polished design indoors.
Sixteen years ago, Jordan helped Paul Mais construct Athena Calderone’s Amagansett home. Jordan and Calderone reconnect to discuss the evolution of his practice—embodied in the standout design of a U-shaped East Hampton property by the water—and his aesthetic sensibilities. High-priority spaces—including the living area, dining area, kitchen, and main suite—are located in the wing closest to the water, allowing for unobstructed views.
Jason and Michelle Rubell are Miami art-collecting royalty, but their love affair with Los Angeles became serious after a chance architectural encounter. One side of the building consists almost entirely of sliding glass doors, which open onto the pool and landscaped gardens beyond.
