Bellamy & Single (Stina Ekblad Bellamy & Tori Single) is an interior design partnership based on the Essex/Suffolk border, creating refined English homes with individuality and personality. We believe that beautiful interiors can enhance and transform the way we live. That is why we are passionate about creating unique yet timeless and relevant interiors to suit each client. Our philosophy is to create magical rooms that are full of life and beauty to nourish the soul. Drawing on our experience and passion for sourcing antiques and one-off pieces from across Europe,  and by editing and re-using existing furniture where appropriate, we can help you create a home that is not only timeless and harmonious but also authentic.
This is pretty close to English-style perfection for me. I’d throw in a bit more colour and a bit more pattern but otherwise I really love everything these ladies do.

This apartment in Las Vegas goes against everything you think of when you think “modern minimalism”. For starters there is COLOUR. I was fully expecting this to be an all white apartment. Which would have been BLEH. And I get it when you collect art that you need a neutral backdrop to showcase it. But here designer Daniella Villamil used a pale blue – Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light. Such a pretty alternative to white! And a green kitchen – YESSSSS!!! (It is Benjamin Moore’s Forest Green). There is also a level of comfort thanks to a big squishy sectional sofa, a shaggy rug, lime washed bedroom walls, wallpaper and patterned curtains. Photo: Amy Bartlam.

This project began in a large North London home where the client quite suddenly found the need to downsize. The brief for the new home was to create a complete sanctuary and a sense of living with a beautiful jewel box with a cohesive scheme and sense of wellbeing throughout the space. We designed a whimsical and theatrical guest room for grandchildren and friends to enjoy, inspired by our client’s travels to India. The hallway was given its own unique identity with vertical stripes and a luxurious velvet curtain. The bathroom was designed to be restful and spa-like but we added a unique art deco painted bath and re–purposed our client’s gilded overmantel mirror to bounce light around the room. The reception space had to be meticulously designed to house a dining, kitchen and living area. As the kitchen was within the living area we wanted it to be fully disguised as bespoke furniture clad with Gustavian architectural detailing and painted in a deep chocolate gloss. Finally, an existing outdoor office space was interior designed to feel like an extension of the house, creating a warm and enticing place to work at the bottom of the garden.
I love this home. It is unique and playful, colourful and warm, with a sense of a well-travelled past. Designed by Laura Stephens. Photos: Paul Massey.

“These D.C.-area transplants from Brooklyn wanted to take the model-home vibe out of their spacious new abode. Custom and vintage furniture, tons of texture, and well-placed color help achieve that goal. The homeowners also wanted the home to reflect their world travels, which has been expressed throughout with globally sourced pieces and earthy, natural materials.”

This 18th Georgian home in the Cotswolds has a lot of “me” in it. It can’t decide if it wants to be muted or colourful, traditional or modern. So the result is an eclectic blend of all kinds of good things in one home, and it is cheerful and inviting. And now I want to hunt down an antique Bessarabian rug. Designed by Morrisstudio.
