In the photo, she’s wearing a halter-style white tank top paired with matching white shorts with ruffle details at the waist and on the pockets. Her hair is pulled back in a sleek bun, and she’s enjoying a cold beverage in a mason jar. She captioned the post, “That Friday feeling 🤍Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend with the ones they love xxsb.”

Construction, home renovation in Hungary? Now is the time!

09/02/2026 Kartika

House Renovation

The demand for construction materials has plummeted, with sales dropping by a third in both value and volume in May. The decline is worsening month by month, indicating a worrisome trend. Renovations are on the decline, and several new construction projects are being initiated. With the falling prices on the construction market, there has never been a better time to start building our new home or renovating the current one.

In the first five months, building materials traders experienced a sharp decline in turnover. The market declined by 24 percent compared to the previous year. Distributors reported a 32 percent decrease in sales and a 35 percent decrease in turnover in May. This growing backlog compared to the previous year is cause for alarm. However, there are no signs yet of the trend reversing, writes Világgazdaság.

“Bespoke” Means Ultra-Custom Design Drury Design

07/02/2026 Kartika

House Design

The English word “bespoke” is popular in the US. We think it’s GREAT and here’s why…

What does bespoke mean?

“Bespoke” means “ultra custom” in the British design language. Originally used in the context of clothing. Its use in the world of kitchen and bathroom design coincides with the growing notion of customers seeking spaces that are unique and personal. The word helps differentiate between something custom made and something truly custom made.

Custom made meaning there’s a thorough template and you get a made-to-order unit based on the dimensions, color, material, and style you have in mind.

bespoke is when you have a general idea – and maybe even a napkin sketch – of what you want, but it’s nowhere to be found…. it wasn’t until a designer and craftsman worked together to create it. Your bespoke creations are truly unique.

Joey Khu Interior Design taps into the elegant ethos of French icon Christian Liaigre to create a restful and beautiful home for a Singaporean family

Elegant, discreet and minimalistic—these are some of the defining traits of renowned French design maestro Christian Liaigre’s stellar work.

They felt that their 4,600 sq ft property in Singapore’s Bukit Timah needed a major overhaul to meet their needs, and for the Liaigre furnishings and other designer pieces to fit beautifully within the interior.

The couple live with two daughters and the wife’s parents; the owners wanted ample storage for their family of six

House Design

There is a house, and there is House. The good endures, inspires curiosity, and instills a stamp of revived creativity in anyone who visits. But the historic home, and the tour that accompanies it, isn’t a monolith. Some are genuine treasures that have never been lost, and others are masterpieces from special sources. Some have been demolished, rebuilt from scratch and rebuilt from old records. Whether preserved through love or money, or both, these boxes of American design jewels endure through the ages, and designers never tire of looking through their inspirational gold mines. Here, the designer shares their favorite historic homes across the US — with a special emphasis on the East coast.
