Some from me. Ordered as a sort of before and after of my living room. A reveal will be coming soon I just need to sort out the artwork. So here is a Phoebe in the living room before I went at the walls with some lighter grey, and Phoebe and Felix in the space after 2 days of painting.

This North London apartment is in desperate need of a little colour. HA! Occupying the first and second floors of a Victorian terrace, it is over-the-top with colour and patterns (someone likes confetti) and is a feast for the senses. Could you live in a home with this much going on? Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

This Beirut apartment is about as eclectic as you can get, and as a result is utterly fabulous. Home of interior architect Ramy Boutros. Built in the late 1920’s, in the heart of Abdel Wahab al Inglizi street, Ramy Boutros’ apartment is an embodiment of the artist’s soul, a living tableau showcasing his esthetic vision. The traditional architecture provides a high ceiling for a light-filled space and a majestic setting for the designer’s imagination to come out and play. RB’s wildest Oriental dreams appear on the walls, which showcase the most exquisite contemporary paintings as a loud testament to his eternal Love affair with Art. Here, every single item tells a captivating story, and they all speak in melodious harmony: from the Hervé van der straeten consoles and mirrors, to Hubert le Gall’s sofas and tables…. From the Oushak carpet to Nabil Nahass’ impressive “Palmiers”… the result is a refined amalgam of the designer’s personal favourite creators.

A wonderful combination of dark and light in this spacious loft in Soho styled by Graham Moss. Lots of fun artwork, great big lounge-y sofas, a sleek kitchen (love the steel display shelving), my favourite wallpaper (Ellie Cashman) and graphic tile in the bathroom make this loft pretty awesome.
