Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.

The Belgian midcentury project by Moore House Design in Rhode Island involved a complete scale design, renovation, and furnishing of a 3,100 sq ft gambrel colonial home. Originally built in the 80s with builder-grade finishes and partial renovations, the home lacked cohesion. The designers introduced a modern European take, aiming to unify the fragmented elements, emphasizing natural materials and local craftsmanship, including tadelakt, fine cabinetry, furniture joinery, hand-forged ironwork and custom upholstery.

A bucolic country period property in need of some serious attention, which over a period of two years was sensitively and comprehensively renovated. Spaces were reconfigured to suit this modern and dynamic family, with layered interiors creating a sense of fun and sophistication throughout.
I love this home so much. It’s playful and colourful without being too bold and the colours (especially that yellow in the boot room – ‘Torino’ by Argile) and the patterns in the wallpapers are beautiful. Designed by Studio Peake. Photos: Alexander James.
Is it because it rains alot in the UK that designers seem to have a boatload of fun with colours when designing a home – to combat the gloominess of what’s going on outside? I don’t know what their deal is but they should keep it coming because I am in awe of their willingness to go all out in just about every room. Hats off to Studio Holland for bringing in all sorts of wonderful colours in this full renovation of a large family country house in Sussex.
A historic 1660 (yes you read that right) saltbox house in Cape Cod is an elegant interpretation of Early American style and modern facilities. The renovation by Boston-based SLC Interiors exposed the rustic bones of the building yet infused the home with style and grace. Warm, inviting and well lived in.
