Set within a crescent of grand Victorian villas, this five-bedroom London home has been in the same family for generations. Sims Hilditch transformed the interiors for a young family, introducing colour, pattern, and softness while preserving its historic charm. Existing furniture was refreshed, original joinery restored, and new architectural flow created. Highlights include a rhubarb-red kitchen island, reupholstered heirloom pieces, layered patterns, and a reconfigured principal suite. Throughout, playful yet elegant touches bring warmth and character, blending tradition with a relaxed, modern sensibility.

Contemporary design is balanced with historic character through the use of natural stone, timber and rich textiles. A garden-level kitchen opens onto a lush outdoor space, while bespoke and vintage furnishings reflect Banda’s refined, quietly luxurious aesthetic resulting in a sophisticated yet comfortable family home.

Paula Rombys Falkenstein of Freer Living restored Casa Freer, a century-old country home in Mallorca, with deep respect for its history and setting. Surrounded by orchards and the Serra de Tramuntana, the home embraces rustic authenticity. Antique and handcrafted pieces, celebrated for their patina and charm, were thoughtfully layered to let the house speak for itself—revealing warmth, permanence, and the quiet beauty of Mallorca’s rural landscape.
Clella Design approaches every project as a collaborative and personal experience, crafting spaces that reflect each client’s unique style. For Chickering Lane, a home in Nashville’s Oak Hill neighborhood, the studio transformed the home to align with a newly updated modern kitchen. Three bathrooms were completely renovated, the fireplace was given a fresh modern look, and each room was fully furnished, resulting in a cohesive, inviting home with a playful, distinctive personality.
