Most people don’t understand that filling small spaces with normal or even large scale furniture, patterns and colours will make them appear larger. One of my design idols, Carlos Garcia, created such a wonderful, whimsical vibe in this 19th century Arts & Crafts flat in London. Edward Bulmer’s ‘Persian’ yellow living room walls, kitchen walls Blackthorn’ wallpaper by Morris & Co and cabinets in ‘Chanterelle’ by Fenwick & Tilbrook, Carlos’ ‘Hibiscus’ saffron wallpaper and fabric.…it’s just all kinds of fabulous coming together to create the sweetest little home.

C & J Katz Studio designed this lakeside New Hampshire home for longtime clients, blending memories of a beloved family cottage and their former Boston townhouse. Built on a steep hillside, the residence steps down in levels, each offering expansive lake views. A winding oak staircase recalls the townhouse, while stone floors, a generous fireplace, and ample storage nod to the cottage. Rich in colour and texture, the interiors balance joyful details with a deep connection to site and family history.

Set within a Victorian terrace in North London this family home was reimagined by Laura Stephens with colour, warmth and character at its core. With paint colours already chosen by the client, Stephens introduced bold fabrics, vintage finds and bespoke furniture. Playful pattern mixing, a hallmark of her studio, added energy, from a patterned runner against mosaic tiles to layered rugs and artwork. The result is a colourful, cosy home rich with individuality and charm.

A lobster/boob bathroom. Eyeball chairs. A “conversation” bespoke sofa. A concierge desk/bar. A uterus bed. A stained glass eye window. A triple height indoor garden. Welcome to the wacky and absolutely beautiful home of artists of Philip and Charlotte Colbert created by Buchanan Studio and Chris Dyson Architects who concocted this masterpiece from five dilapidated brick terrace homes. There is so much space and so many surreal and creative things everywhere you look. Photos: Alicia Waite.

As the story goes, when designer Azar Fattahi of LALA Reimagined was vacationing in Mallorca, her fridge leaked and having to replace flooring snowballed into a full-on revamp. With the Mediterranean on her mind, the end result is bright and airy with some really fun touches like colourful tile used in several spaces (that balcony setup with different spaces set up, against the tree backdrop is fantastic!), a magical forest painted mural. Love this! Photos: Ori Harpaz.
