This is everything a cabin getaway should be. So cozy and relaxing! SETTLE is home to three beautifully restored vintage railway carriages, a handcrafted lakeside cabin and luxury canvas camping, blissfully set in our private Norfolk parkland. The Cabin. Perfect for slow living, our bespoke lakeside cabin is a truly luxurious stay… This handcrafted space was meticulously designed and built by us, combining settle’s signature palette of earthy textures and heritage materials with sleek contemporary fittings and clean lines. Flanked by mature trees and an abundance of native wildlife, this dreamy cabin overlooks the largest of our idyllic waterlily lakes. Heritage timber – one of our most prized materials – clads all the cabin’s interior spaces, its authentic textures bringing the outside ever closer. Mid-century furnishings blend with Scandinavian influences to create a calm, restorative ambiance. For colder days, a large, contemporary wood-burning stove, along with salvaged cast iron radiators throughout the cabin, ensure toasty warmth.

“The kitchen in this 1914 Arts and Crafts home was the anchor for a whole-house remodel project in San Francisco’s Richmond district. The client, a well-traveled artist, was inspired by English country houses. Both the existing kitchen and main bath had undergone an earlier remodel in the 1990s in a style that was incongruent with the historic architecture of the home and devoid of light and circulation. By moving the kitchen to the back of the house, we were able to expand the views to the back yard and design a generous pantry hall with a powder room located behind a secret bookcase door. New windows and architectural elements abound with the intention of introducing materials that feel like they belonged to the house from the beginning. The farmhouse palette includes salvaged wood, brick and marble counters, and wood flooring painted with a checkerboard design. Antique furnishings throughout and a bouquet of patterned wallpaper accentuate the client’s taste for eccentric English playfulness.”

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourtself into work (or a workout) on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Kindred Yoga Stdio by Atelier Leymarie Gourdon.

What do you think of when you think quintessentially English interiors? My mind fills with images of wallpaper and chintz, over stuffed armchairs and family antiques, lamps with pleated shades on tables, entry hallways leading the eye to stairs with runners, country style kitchens and roll top baths. Its pattern on pattern and passementerie. Heaven forbid a curtain isn’t trimmed or a cushion doesn’t have a fringe. It’s attention to the little details but most importantly it’s about a welcoming, cosy home. It’s this Townhouse in London’s SE24 by Laura Stephens.

If things like maximalism, layered patterns upon patterns, archways and colour are up your alley then may I present to you some pretty extraordinary spaces by Dallas designer Michelle Nussbaumer (of Ceylon et Cie), including the epic blue and white tiled kitchen in her home in San Miguel de Allende. This woman is in a league of her own and I cannot get enough.
