It’s about tradition and craftsmanship, about simple beauty and honesty, living life how you want without the chains of fads and fashion. Perhaps you don’t have to move to the country to achieve it.

Every project of British interior designer Hubert Zandberg gives me heart palpitations and completely blows my mind. His maximalist, graphic and vintage-loving approach to interiors is everything I love about interior design, and this Paris pied-à-terre is yet another example of his brilliance. I need to go shopping with him SO SOOOO badly.

How do I love an English kitchen? Let me count the ways. I’m not talking shiny two pack with glittery stone tops and multicoloured mood lighting. I’m smitten by solid wood cabinets, fitted or preferably not, rich colours, scrubbed pine table tops and larders. It’s traditional with a twist and I’m in love. Here are some of my favourites from Plain English.
