We reimagined the layouts of the first, second, and third floors of this early Victorian terraced home,  on a charming tree-lined street in Maida Vale. Our brief was to honour the building’s historic character, restoring original mouldings and architectural details while thoughtfully incorporating natural and reclaimed materials throughout. We re-designed the kitchen with a classical sensibility— to feel timeless, brighter, and more open than the small space belies!
Antiques, bit of colour and some graphic patterns (that paper on the bathroom walls is rice paper printed by hand in the batik method) blend the old with the new and make this a really fun home. And I am obsessed with this kitchen! Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

Set in Austin, this home by Molly Kidd Studio has a contemporary European vibe. Designed as a sanctuary from busy lives, it blends soft neutrals, layered textures and natural materials for a calm, timeless feel. Venetian plaster walls and bold elements like Arabescato marble and vintage lighting add depth and personality. With over half of the furnishings being vintage ( sourced locally and abroad) the home feels effortlessly collected, warm and quietly dramatic.

This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.

A bachelor’s dual-purpose, industrial solo pad allows for moments of self-discovery and experience — a true blank canvas that, through thoughtful design, exudes personality and embraces curiosity. An enviable art collection — including a two-story custom installation — and street-level event space only add to the adventure.
There’s a sense of drama, coolness, a modern artsy vibe in this West Loop home. I am swooning over the bedroom in that glorious green (Benjamin Moore’s Polished Slate) with the “Moon Gate” transition to the meditation space. Designed by Studio Sven. Photos: Ryan McDonald.
