Carlos Aparicio’s Miami home

Carlos Aparicio cites as inspiration the work of his forerunners Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, and Gio Ponti—early-20th-century architects who each obsessively oversaw their projects down to the design of the doorknobs. Like these Renaissance men, Aparicio conceives of a house as a whole entity. His vision for a space encompasses everything from the floor plans to the light fixtures to the colors of the walls. In the living room of architect Carlos Aparicio’s Miami home, the sofa is custom made, the armchairs are by Jean-Michel Frank, and the 1920s light fixture is by Carl Hallberg; the columns are of French limestone, the rugs are midcentury Swedish, and the flooring is coral limestone.

5. Sweet, powdery pastels and monochromatic look

While designers are often lauded for their inventive color combinations, sometimes it’s the simplest statements that make the biggest impact. Take the monochromatic look, seen on the Spring runways at Gucci, Stella McCartney, and Carolina Herrera. Harpers Bazaar finds the season’s top shades are sweet as sugar—from lavender to pistachio to petal pink. The pastels come into play in Amy Fine Collins’s Manhattan entry, where pale pinks, greens, yellows, and blues come together in a rug by designer (and color master) Gene Meyer. Flowers atop the console and a painting in similar hues add to the trend.
