Lanterns are a wonderful way to add ceiling light to a room. They are crisp and not too dressy like many chandeliers, and thus work with many, if not all, decorating styles. Canadian House & Home Both of these photos come from Canadian House & Home. The top photo is a good example of a small entryway with a simple bell jar lantern. In the second photo designer Karla Amadatsu used a bell jar lantern to define a dining space in an open plan living/dining room. Bell jar is probably the most common style lantern, and while I like the style a lot, I thought I'd look at auctions for something different. The next Doyle @Home auction on February 23rd includes this wrought iron 4 light lantern (Lot 251). It's 37" tall, and is a classic hall lantern. It's very smart looking and has an auction estimate of $800 - $1,200. This would look very chic in a large entryway or library. This Neoclassical style gilt metal and glass lantern is also included in the Doyle auction (Lot 244). It's 23" tall and has an auction estimate of $200 - $300. It has a delicate style, and would look wonderful in a small entryway or bathroom. This is a very smart pair of frosted glass and metal octagonal lanterns. These are Lot 556 in the next Christie's Interiors sale in New York March 1st and 2nd. I think having a pair would be great for a hallway or spread to two rooms! These have an auction estimate $800 - $1,200 and are 37" tall. I think this pair of French hexagonal lanterns have just enough extra style to make them stand apart from the crowd. These are also in the Christie's sale (Lot 830), and are made of patinated and parcel gilt wrought iron with 3 lights in each. They are 47" tall, so rather big. This would limit them to rooms with pretty tall ceilings. These would dress up an open plan family room or a loft. They have an auction estimate of $3,000 - $5,000. It's always helpful to see some past actual pricing examples and here are three that are quite different in style and price. This first one was sold at Christie's in new York. It's an hexagonal tole peinte hall lantern, first half of the 20th century. It sold for $3,120 off an auction estimate of $1,500 - $2,000. It's very chic, and the green makes it a bit different. This would be fabulous in an entryway. This cute copper lantern started off as a candle lantern, and was electrified later. This sold at a Brunk auction in Asheville, NC for $90. It measure 21" tall, and I could see this in a boys room over a desk, or in a small bathroom. This fantastic modern example was designed by Andre Dubreuil in 1988. It sold at a Wright 'Important Design' auction in Chicago for $12,500 off an auction estimate of $10,00 - $15,000. The style is sophisticated and delicate. Put this over a dining table or in an entryway for elegant lighting. Homes & Garden Magazine, UK A wonderful ceiling fixture adds elegance, and draws your eye in to the space. A lantern is a sophisticated choice, and you can find one at auction that will make your design statement.
Unless you have something very specific in mind for your entryway, a table is usually a perfect addition to the space and it makes it feel very welcoming
A celebration of materiality, this four-storey, five-bedroom harbourside house features twenty-eight different types of stone in a richly layered design. Greg Natale Design took inspiration from the Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan with its blend of pared-back classicism and modernity, and the project features elements of Italian rationalism and brutalism combined with art deco touches.

This issue’s Evolve theme is timely as we continue to navigate our way through an uncertain global landscape, particularly here at est HQ where we’re still in strict lockdown. Yet there’s nothing like the unexpected to inspire, to satiate the craving for something new. We’ve found ourselves inspired and buoyed by colour in our featured homes by Flack Studio ‘Return to the Emerald City’ and Kennedy Nolan Architects ‘A Singular Attraction’. We’ve also evolved in the way we respond to our landscape through design, looking at Madeleine Blanchfield in her Tree House ‘Where Architects Live’ and ‘Rethink: A New Perspective’ looking at the renewed potential of an existing home. We discover ‘Resilient Architecture’ with Stephen Crafti, as he opens our eyes to the evolution of adaptive architecture in response to climate change and environment. As always, there’s est Style, Library and the Playlist which, in this issue, respond to the same theme of how music has influenced what we wear, read and listen to.

The hallway. It is a space that introduces your guests to your home, the threshold to your personal space. However, in most cases it is left bare, lifeless and a little boring. Many people struggle with the hallway or entrance because it is an awkward narrow space that is mainly there for function. Do not let the size put you off putting your personality into the space as the hallway can be very decorative and a showstopper in itself.Photo: Wealdentimes A hallway does have to be functional. K

La Baronnie de Laure aux portes de la Bretagne Certaines maisons ont une histoire, c'est le cas de la Baronnie de Laure. Laure Carment est une designer talentueuse qui a créé sa propre entreprise LC Diffusion à Martigne-Ferchaud dans l'Ille et Vilaine, aux portes de la Bretagne. Il était donc évident qu'elle s'occupe elle-même de la rénovation de sa belle maison de maître bâtie en 1923 pour un couple de jeunes notaires, avec la participation d'artistes prestigieux. Laure y habite désormais et ouvre les portes de cette demeure aux hôtes désirant y passer une soirée, comme quelques jours, en cliquant sur ce lien. Cette ravissante demeure a été remarquée par le magazine Art et Décoration, ce qui est une distinction dont bien peu peuvent s'honorer, et les photos sont de Christophe Rouffio.
