This historic house in Norfolk, Connecticut was reimagined by Berman Horn Studio with bold precision. Subtle layout shifts unlocked a full-width space flooding the interiors with air and light. A daring choice of pale pink monochromatic walls gave the architecture a fresh, electric calm. Furniture and art were curated across eras, from early American to 70s futurist, creating a worldly almost quirky mix. Every piece, every placement, was deliberate. The result is a home that hums with tension and delight – a pink-washed stage where history, humour and modern life collide.

Laura Stephens Interiors have sensitively reimagined a grand period home overlooking one of London’s largest commons, blending elegance with relaxed liveability. Drawing inspiration from the property’s impressive proportions and historic charm, they crafted layered, timeless interiors rich in texture, colour, and pattern. Each room was designed to feel distinct yet cohesive, with saturated tones and tactile details creating warmth within the soaring spaces. A deep respect for the home’s original character shaped every decision, resulting in a refined, welcoming environment that perfectly reflects the clients’ love of authenticity, style, and comfort.

This project holds special meaning for Hampshire-based Vaughan as it is their own family home. Quirky, imperfect and full of personality, the house is a continual work in progress. While the structure existed it has been thoughtfully renovated over time. With young children, the evolving needs of daily life informed their design choices, bringing joy in creating a home that grows and adapts over time.

Aside from this being a lesson on how to decorate with lots of colours and patterns by the queen of vintage layered fabulousness, Heidi Caillier, it also a lesson in how to make a home look centuries old when it isn’t. Rough-hewn reclaimed wood beams, varying door heights, mismatched vintage hardware, Delft tile, a hidden passage from the sitting room to the dining room, reclaimed limestone floors and so much more give it sooooo much character.

On the Upper East Side, Australian interior designer Greg Natale’s New York townhouse reflects the city’s vibrant spirit and its owner’s global influences. Once a mixed-use building, it now blends Italian craftsmanship and Parisian flair. Natale reinstated the original two-door entrance and infused the interiors with bold marble, vintage finds, and bespoke details like the floral chandelier by Crizu. Inspired by a pink and green palette, the layered design celebrates art, culture, and creativity, with the ground floor serving as a dedicated art school.
