Emma’s love of colour and pattern underpins her approach to decoration which is combined with a desire to create comfortable and practical homes. Emma has a quintessentially English style but really loves to create interiors with a modern and imaginative twist that are uniquely tailored to every client.
British designer Emma Sherlock is creating such pleasing-to-the-eye, relaxed spaces that are like a big hug. Traditional with personality.

It was a gut demolition and reimagining of this São Paulo apartment by Memola Estúdio that created expansive open-plan social spaces with killer views. Wooden floors warm the brutalist concrete shell while white walls bounce the light into the apartment and provide a backdrop for the owners’ art collection. New and old furniture pieces share the neutral tones of the finishes with the “new color palette inspired by the autumn tones of the sunset that appears on the horizon.”

So chic, so sophisticated, so French. A modern with mid-century take on the Haussmannian style with its mix of French tradition and style with vintage furniture, exclusive 20th-century antiques and bespoke furniture. Luxembourg Gardens by Argentine-trained Paris-based architect Luis Laplace.

Keeping the theme going of maximalist, colourful, vibrant, whimsical spaces, here are some more spaces designed by the inimitable Benedict Foley. Benedict really does have a way with colours that you don’t see in most interiors.

I have never seen a more vivacious, flamboyant, vivid and spirited home than that of creative consultant Max Hurd in collaboration with designer Benedict Foley. This Victorian terrace house in London could not be more fun and energizing. The attention to detail and the somewhat random colours used throughout his home….someone with a home like this must have such a wonderful outlook on life. I want to be his friend.
