When it comes to interiors, John Richardson is my absolute north star and he isn’t even an interior designer. He was actually Picasso’s biographer and just had exceptionally good taste. Think: limewash turquoise walls, fur throws, antique suzanis liberally draped over sofas, great big oxblood ottomans with lion paw feet, plaster and marble busts, incidental day beds, life-size Piranesi etchings and obviously, as a friend of the Picasso pod, an unparalleled art collection. The man was a fucking genius.

Double response bc i love this question! im an interior designer and I work in high-end residential which means I see the intimate parts of a lot of people’s homes which is pretty wild….
two highlights include:
1. An important 20th century painter’s crazy art-filled townhouse, where they filled the powder room sink with plastic snakes
2. An extremely famous couple’s house where I saw, on the mom’s dresser, a copy of The Care and Keeping of You, which means their celebrity daughter is learning about puberty the same way I did 🥹

Almost all of my furniture is 80s deco/ post modern. I love Karl Springer furniture. Anything that embodies the vibe of Miami Vice. It sounds funny but my next album was really inspired by that kind of interior design. I feel like when I see certain images of sleek 80s decor I can hear the kinds of songs that should be playing there. Everyone should sex up their home with a little jaguar stature or some faux marble tables... Mirror above the bed, that kind of thing y'know?

This is going to be rambly because I don't have the architectual terminology, but I'm a fan of homes that combine inside and outside. Open windows, covered patios. There are probably better examples of this style, but this scandi one in Seattle that got an NYT write-up is a good example. It's a little too modern for my taste, but this photo really captures the mood I'm going for.
I've become more and more intrigued by handmade homes. The Craftsman Builder is an amazing book studying these kind of houses in the West.
Quincy Jones' home with its capacious living room and massive window/indoor trees has always spoken to me.
Generally I'm happy with lots of wood grain in the interior and I love a low and long midcentury ranch, especially if it's tucked in some ferns.

She’s a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for slips. Peach, champagne, spearmint, aquamarine, bubblegum, midnight, whatever your poison, you can’t go wrong with a 1930s silk slip. Slither into that slinky boudoir mindset. You are a lounge lizard. Wear them barefoot in the summer or under a cardi with big boots and tights in cooler/ arctic months. Illisa’s Vintage Lingerie in NYC is the goat.

Prosciutto. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Pro-ciu-tt0. There’s something about a strip of glistening, rose-pink cured meat that I just can't seem to resist, a weakness that earned me the nickname ‘ham hands’ growing up. Which I don’t often share with people but here we are.

All you really need TBH. Great for chapped lips, highlighting the cheekbones and on the eyes for an expensive glazed look. Don’t sleep on it.
