Polly Ashman, a London-based interior designer with a background in building and project management, specialises in residential properties. Her West London home underwent a complete transformation, including top and bottom extensions and a full overhaul of electrics and plumbing. With many original features lost over time, she carefully reinstated them, creating a vibrant, characterful space filled with colour, rich textures, curated art and distinctive antique finds that reflect her creative vision.

This one is for all of you colour-lovers, fans of over-the-top maximalism. North Carolina designer Charlotte Lucas completely transformed this Georgian home in Raleigh, North Carolina with a dramatic and colourful blend of colours and patterns and shapes and textures and everything in between! There is a lot going on but it is perfect for the homeowners who were looking for something bold and dramatic. Charlotte definitely understood the assignment.

Dallas designer Leslie Jenkins creates homes that are cultivated, collected, classic, and custom with a nod to the traditional. But with flare. And in this case she dubs it “french flare”. It’s pretty pastels (I particularly love all the shades of green used), pretty patterns and attention to detail everywhere you look. Gorgeous!


























Designed by Vaughan Design & Development, The Den sits among trees in a West Suffex village as the first phase of a three-stage project. Formerly a one-bed annexe, it has been transformed into an open-plan retreat with a kitchenette, bar, living area and bathroom. Created for all generations to relax and play, it connects seamlessly to the outdoors. Hatch windows open to a deck while natural materials, vivid colours and vintage pieces shape its inviting atmosphere.











Los Angeles-based Studio Zimmermann believes design should enhance life as well as aesthetics. Called in mid-construction to complete a homeowner-led remodel, the studio transformed a five-bed, four-and-a-half-bath home atop the hills of Sherman Oaks. Framed by sweeping mountain and city views, the property now feels both refined and inviting. Building on the clients’ impeccable taste, the team introduced strategic tweaks and curated details, creating a distinctive, stylish and deeply personal home.
