Take a look inside an interior designer’s home
Rachel Laxer's US homes
Reminiscent of her first flat in Tokyo, interior designer Rachel Lexar's US home exudes simplicity and tranquillity. "The house is full of pockets and sliding doors so that you have the option of opening and closing a room depending on what is going on. The design is all about family, entertainment, and relaxation in an elegant but informal way. This ethos of relaxed elegance is the core of my design belief," says Laxer.
