This handsome London townhouse has been fully redesigned by Emma Ainscough to create a layered, characterful home tailored to the needs of a young family. Original architectural details were carefully restored, including period joinery and decorative features in the entrance hall. A refined yet playful palette runs throughout, with bold colour accents, antique lighting and textured finishes adding softness and personality. The children’s spaces are whimsical and adaptable, while the primary suite offers calm and balance. Across all floors, thoughtful layouts, clever storage and bespoke furnishings bring together comfort, practicality and a sense of quiet charm.

Owl Interior Design believes in the power of thoughtful interiors to elevate everyday life. In this family home in London’s Herne Hill, they transformed a guest room and bathroom with warmth and individuality. The bathroom became a peach-toned retreat of curves and bespoke details. In the guest room, inspiration from Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis movement was softened into a contemporary, inviting space with a subtle sense of play.

I am smitten with this country home in Gent, Belgium designed by Joris Van Apers. The rustic charm, the use of colours and textured walls, that kitchen is a DREAM and I want stone floors, particularly in the kitchen, more than anything. Rustic and timeworn wins out with me 100% of the time. Photos: Michael Paul Photography.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Dragon Rouge tattoo parlour by Marianne Evennou.

Sharing yet another colourful and pattern zesty gem that seems to be all the rage with the Brits these days. Which is fine by me! I’m in fact seriously considering painting my living room a similar shade to this ground floor sitting room (this is Lilac Pink by Edward Bulmer). This house seems to have 3 sitting rooms/drawing rooms/living rooms….you know, rooms with sofas. That’s crazy, considering I have been lusting over getting one new sofa for about 2 years now and cannot find the perfect one. How would I ever choose at least 3 of them?! Anyway I digress. Octavia Dickinson went a little bit traditional here, a little bit whimsical and it is a lot of awesome. Photos: Helen Cathcart.
