I’m stalking a late-Victorian townhouse on North London’s Ospringe Road, a short walk from Tufnell Park and Kentish Town. Spread over five storeys the home is packed with charm and character. Crafted from London stock brick and crowned with steep Welsh slate roofs with tall chimney stacks, it exudes timeless elegance. The interior spaces have been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, carefully preserving historic features such as fine plasterwork and an elegant, sculptural staircase. My favourite though is the blue reading room (painted in ‘Vardo’ by Farrow and Ball). Just perfect for a bibliophile in you.

The owner of this Park Avenue apartment has a penchant for blue, and a love of art. That combination along with the bold style of designer Nick Olsen makes for a really graphic, dynamic and really eye-popping space. I love the tension created by using antique/classic furnishings paired with the modern art. (Photos: Thomas Loof)

I dream of having a library that doubles as a dining room. Include it in a Paris apartment with tall ceilings, large windows, beautiful cornicing, a marble fireplace and painted in the prettiest shade of blue and I will never get this space out of my head.

Our obsession with faux flowers, botanicals and plants is where it all started. But a beautiful bouquet needs a great side table. A kitchen needs a statement plant. A reception desk needs a stunning arrangement… And so one side of our business feeds the other. Led by Tracy Cole, we work closely with our clients to create cosy modern interiors full of texture, layers and luxury with lots of faux details.

A multi-family compound rises from a remote, grassy valley on the bank of the Frio River deep in the Texas Hill Country. The goal for this project was to create shelters with an environmental experience unique to its place where Summer madness gives way to Winter stillness. Structures consist of a main house, meditation room over art studio/garage, and two guest studio cottages. Main house and cottages are linked by a slightly elevated walkway. A “breezeway” bookended by concealed multi-slide doors bisects the main house enabling alfresco dining most of the year.
The new owner says the spaces are “cozy…but ample and gracious; dark and moody….but bright and airy”. Sounds like the perfect juxtapositions that allow you to easily adjust per your mood of the moment (or season). Architecture and interior by Cuppett Kilpatrick.
