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.

Banda have reimagined this five-storey Victorian townhouse in London’s Kensington Village seamlessly blending a major art collection with a warm, inviting interior. 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.

Designer Kate Guinness is always down for lots of colours and patterns in her projects and this Kensington townhouse is no exception. This is such a fun, joyful and playful home with layers of so much goodness in tones that are lively but totally liveable. I adore all of the paint shades used here. Photos; James McDonald.

This Parisian apartment is the epitome of timelessness. Versailles oak parquet floors, patinaed walls, rounded walls, enamelled terracotta fireplace, enamelled lava mosaic kitchen island, leopard carpeting, and many other beautiful elements were added to this blank slate that had not been renovated in many years. There is now a sense of history and a vibe that can’t quite be pinpointed but that’s what makes it so special and unique. Designed by Lizée-Hugot. Photos: Alice Mesguich.

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.
