Nestled to the east of Norwich and west of the Broads, South Burlingham Old Hall is a remarkable Grade II*-listed Tudor house. It comprises a tapestry of historical styles, with a particularly expressive Elizabethan core and exquisite hand-decorated surfaces. Warren-like, its idiosyncratic layout presents a wonderful enfilade of rooms that are at once spacious and intimate. There are six characterful bedrooms in the main house, and a further three in a separate annexe, The Granary, which also has a kitchen and living space. Outside are grounds with established trees and colourful plantings; there is also a Grade II-listed cart horse stable.
I cannot tell you what a home with this much character and history and original hand painted details does to my soul. For sale via Inigo for £1,000,000.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Origo by Isern Serra.

Rowayton Barn in Norwalk, Connecticut was originally designed and built by Barbara Garfield and its 1,645 square foot interior has been infused with tons of personality, eclecticism and the most beautiful boldly bright colours by designer Patrick Mele. Stunning yellow curtains (made from 2 yellow Designers Guild fabrics), Corinthian columns, a collection of 125 plates hanging on the dining room wall, a plethora of colours unite in the living room, a guest bed swathed in fabrics, a tapestry in a guest bedroom and so much more make this home so unique and cheerful, and “Belgium meets Beverly Hills” as Patrick put it.

A sprawling private estate located in the Hollywood Hills. Every design detail from the earthy, understated finishes, to the highly textured neutral palette was meant to create a timeless impression that celebrates the property’s majestic panoramic views.
Give me all the old rustic wood and linen slipcovered sofas! A bit more neutral than I could probably live with but when work life is chaotic, this would be as serene as can be to come home to. By Balton Design.

Casa Halcyon Residence in Vaucluse, Sydney, reflects STUDIOJOS founder Joss Knight’s refined, sculptural approach to interior design. The home embraces calm through simplified traditional elements reminiscent of contemporary Belgian design. Tonal textures create a quiet, timeless atmosphere while balancing old and new. The result is an understated yet luxurious space that supports an effortless indoor–outdoor lifestyle and a sense of serene, considered living.
