After sharing their work studio on Saturday I thought I really had to feature one of their bespoke kitchens. Villa Naarden by Eginstill is like all of their designs, a balance between sustainability and aesthetics, timeless with attention to the tiniest details.

“We were invited to transform a classic prewar apartment into a stylish but unfussy family home. The interior palette varies as dark smaller spaces flow into progressively lighter larger rooms. This subtle transition of color makes the larger rooms, although low ceilinged, feel even more spacious and brighter. The use of velvety warm grays and ivory colors in the space is accentuated by an ensemble of antiques, mid-century modern and contemporary pieces. The clients’ art collection and family heirlooms bring depth and history to the eclectic mix.”

I’m not sure what I love more about this renovation, the subtle play of light and shadow across the apartment or the easy going almost lived in look? I guess it doesn’t matter because it’s the sort of home I’d move into in a heartbeat. Greenwich Village Apartment by Hendricks Churchill.

I continue to dream of stately manors and castles in the countryside (far away from the frigid winters and uninspiring architecture of Canada I find so soul-crushing). This one built in the 18th century in Suffolk is home to interior designer Kate Earle of Todhunter Earle, and is full of character and history evident with the addition of a plethora of antiques and textiles. What a beauty.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drive yourself into work on a weekend it helps that it’s somewhere stylish like the studio of Amsterdam based kitchen designers Eginstill.

Such a wonderful colour palette and overall youthful and invigorating vibes in this London townhouse designed by Riona Dundas. I am taking note of the marble bathtub surround in the pink bathroom – so pretty! (Architecture: A&A Architects; Photography: Simon Brown)
