Vaughan Design & Development recently took on the interior design for a spacious six-bedroom family home in Harpenden in Hertfordshire, England. As a new build, the goal was to add warmth, character and functionality to accommodate the clients’ busy lives with young children. Advocates of colour and playful design, Vaughan also needed practical features like a first-floor laundry, boot room, large playroom and luxurious adult spaces. The studio blended natural materials with layered details, traditional fittings and vibrant elements creating a bright, joyful home tailored to the family’s needs.

We started imagining what this 1908 Craftsman could be at the exact instant Greta Gerwig’s Little Women came out in theaters, and while discussing how both the client and Chloe enjoyed it very much, our client said the words “I want my house to be like that, but on acid”, and we were off to the races. No pattern was off limits, no color too much. A Moorish guest bath? Yes, we decided March sisters would approve. An enormous custom painted Falcon screen? It’s our client’s spirit animal and of course that makes sense.

Built in, 1902, this San Francisco gem is dripping in character. Our goal was to turn this architectural charmer into a modern family home. Focusing on art and beauty without skimping on functionality was at the core of the design process. With a very light touch, we updated the home’s cosmetic details to better accommodate our clients aesthetics and lifestyle. We created spaces focused on entertaining as well family-friendly gatherings. Warm whites, camel, and earth tones in the living room helped create a foundation for our client’s incredible art collection.
What a fabulous home! I love the modern take on the interior but with lots of curves and plush furniture and fabrics that make it feel really loungey. Designed by Katie Monkhouse. Photos: Stephanie Russo.

Built for adventure and togetherness, our Sun Valley Ski House offers the perfect blend of functionality and fun. With ample sleeping spaces, two kitchens, and multiple areas for lounging or gathering, this ski house in Sun Valley is designed to be the ultimate retreat. Lovingly restored, this home is the launch point for endless adventure, and the interior reflects that with its playful, welcoming design.
Being able to hang out in a cozy and warm (but very cool!) home like this would definitely have me appreciating winter more. Designed by Yond Interiors; Builder: Hobbs Builders; Photos: Malissa Mabey; Styling: Jen Paul.

The redesign of this 5,000-square-foot Victorian townhouse in West London by Murudé focused on creating a practical yet stylish family home. The clients were looking for a child-friendly space that also included sophisticated areas for entertaining. Boasting impressive ceiling heights, tall sash windows and ornate cornice details, the home offered an excellent foundation. Spanning five levels, it features grand entertaining rooms, a gym and bedrooms. A carefully curated colour palette and understated decor ensure a luxurious yet warm and welcoming atmosphere.
