Accessories account for roughly 10% of every furnishing budget we build.

And they are never the line to cut.

Take them away and a finished room is just square footage. Is this layer worth it to you? Tell us what you think.

Trends come and go. They always have.

What matters is how a space actually lives. How it is used. How it feels to move through it day after day. The decisions that hold up long after the novelty wears off.

You can find more on these ideas in our book, Refined Interiors.

Still pinching ourselves—our latest project is on the COVER of @luxemagazine! ✨ Seeing this home brought to life in such stunning detail is an absolute honor! 😉

Every page is a tribute to design, craftsmanship, and the vision that made it all happen.

Huge thanks to @jilleditsluxe, @lara.hallock, and the entire @luxemagazine team for capturing the story so beautifully!

May, a month we won’t soon forget.⁠

From inspiring design conversations in Boston and Pennsylvania to the exciting work unfolding inside our studio, this month carried incredible momentum. We’re grateful for every project, every conversation, and every collaboration that made it so meaningful.⁠
⁠
To close out the month, our team was honored with our 18th PaperCity Design Award — this time for Best Living Space for a very special home office. It was a joy celebrating the remarkable creative work happening in Houston alongside so many talented friends and peers.⁠
⁠
Thank you to our entire Benjamin Johnston Design team, and to every partner and collaborator who brought their talent and passion to this work. June, we’re ready for you.⁠

“A space should contain nothing more, and nothing less, than what is essential.”

Houston-based designer and Mansion Global Boutique Guest Curator Benjamin Johnston (@benjaminjohnstondesign) employs a style that he describes as “classic, curated and cool.”

We caught up with the designer to talk about his signature blend of clean lines, bold traditionalism and contemporary warmth—and he handpicked his favorite Boutique pieces to help you bring the look home.

POV: You love traditional design but live in a modern world.⁠
The answer isn't choosing one over the other. It's knowing which materials carry both.⁠
⁠
Our Director of Interiors and Design Assistant approached this Houston home with a clear intention — traditional warmth without sacrificing modern restraint. Every finish considered. Every texture intentional. The material selections are where the design philosophy becomes tangible.⁠
⁠
This is where it begins.⁠

Please join me and my friends at this fun event at the beautiful @fabricut showroom in Houston on June 10! This event is held in partnership with @hpmkt and the #diversityadvocacyalliance. Details provided above. Hope to see you there!

Built for the Texas evening.⁠
⁠
Could stay here for hours. Thoughtful interior architecture and outdoor living design, light moving gently across the landscape. This is what calm looks like.⁠

This and no alarm.⁠
⁠
The kind of morning a bedroom should make possible. Every texture chosen with purpose — the shimmer of mother of pearl inlay, the softness of hide, the warmth of velvet. This is luxury bedroom design at its most intentional.⁠

A kitchen that works as well as it looks starts with the decisions you make before anything is built.

Here are the exact measurements that matter most — upper cabinet height, kitchen island dimensions, countertop depth, and cooktop clearances. The details that separate a beautiful custom kitchen design from one that actually functions.

Save this before your next remodel or new build. Link in bio to explore Refined Interiors.

A child’s room should do more than charm. It should endure.

The color was chosen with conviction. The scalloped headboard, the butterfly chandelier, the layered textiles — every detail selected not just for who she is now, but for every version of who she will become.

This is what it means to design for a life in progress.
