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.

Designer Nadia Watts worked with her client’s expansive (and quite disparate) art collection and made it all work together in their Denver home. Each one taking pride of place among each room and creating such a dynamic yet cohesive vision. I love how eclectic each space is and how it all flows so wonderfully. Photos: Emily Minton-Redfield.

Quintessentially English as we like to say. This home is filled with the prettiest colours in each room and patterned headboards and curtains in the bedrooms are a must. And the only way to go is to follow suit in the bathrooms too. Designed by Olivine Design. Photos: Milo Brown.

I’ll always have a place in my heart for mid-century homes – all that wood and windows and sloped ceilings. This gem in Los Gatos, California is fabulously retro and so very cool thanks to designer Cathie Hong who created this welcoming home for herself and her family (including 4 children). I particularly love the music/guest room/playroom and that fabulous built-in storage cabinet in the most glorious olive green (Farrow & Ball’s Bancha). Photos: Margaret Austin

“A colourful, inspirational, and deeply personal family home set over four floors in a Notting Hill terrace for a lovely and creative young family. The traditional country house vernacular has been toughened up and given a little edge with an explosion of colour, pattern and a scattering of contemporary furniture and fittings.”
