I much as I’d love to reproduce this amazing bed canopy by interior designer Emmanuelle Simon I don’t think I would have the talent or patience. It’s a striking centrepiece for this zen-like bedroom. That is until you look up and see the cloud of floating drapes above or across the room to another of Simon’s creations, the Rakù-Yaki Cabinet. Whereas the bed canopy is earthy and grounding the ceramic encased cabinet is a hidden treasure, opening to reveal its golden (brass) centre. Bedroom as sculpture. Bedroom as theatre. Bedroom as dream space for dreaming.

A fun, youthful and sun-filled vibe is happening in this Park Slope brownstone designed by Lauren Wills of Wills Design Associates. Furntiure that is eclectic and comfortable makes for a perfect family-friendly home.

And from me. Mimin looking like the princess that she is on my vintage velvet chair. And Lucky doing what he does best.

I’m sure it has the wood aficionados screaming at their computer monitors but if you’re going to paint how about stopping half way? And that’s not the only contrast. Super modern, almost space age rooms AND Haussmannian confection. Colombie by Paris-based RF Studio.

I am having some serious heart palpitations over this absolutely breathtaking Georgian villa in Bath, Somerset, England. With many of its original period features maintained, this home with its traditional decor and pastel colour scheme is simply magical. I would of course add a few more modern pieces here and there but there is SO much you could do with a structure this beautiful. And then the views! AHHH!!!
