The design of this Yorkshire farmhouse was inspired by the surrounding moors and architecture and design firm Dunning & Everard created a wonderfully inviting and comfortable home within these vaulted spaces (I love a tall ceiling!). Some of my favourite elements: to die for bookcases in several rooms, a fireplace, a gloriously dark green kitchen with punchy zellige tiles and breathtaking views. (Photos: Brent Darby)

Electric Bowery transformed this ocean-view home by infusing Coastal Spanish influences into its existing Mediterranean character. Emphasizing natural elements and contemporary art, they reimagined the opulent Tuscan style with a lighter touch. Mixing traditional architecture—like soft arched openings and natural plaster—with modern sculptural furniture and vibrant colours, they created a balanced, sophisticated space. Dark wood accents, oxblood tiles, and intricate terracotta flooring framed by Rosso Toscana Marble added depth, while vintage and custom lighting complemented the home’s blend of tradition and modernity.

Clean, classic, neutral, textured and contrasting. This is such an easy-going, timeless and sellable style that is so fabulous in this Los Angeles home designed by Katie Hodges. I am particularly fond of the ‘California-meets-English-Swedish’ kitchen. Definitively not something trendy that would need re-renovating anytime soon. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

We uniquely reimagined this country estate and distinguished our design by its historic architecture, creating a dwelling that is equal parts past and present. Old-age European lifestyle and new-age sustainability are some of the hallmarks of our work and this home was intentionally imbued with character and richness, using vintage wherever possible. Throughout the home, we installed 80% vintage lighting and 60% vintage finds to support our sustainable ethos and convey a collected home full of sensible luxury.
I adore the moody colour palette (whiskey room is Farrow & Ball’s Pantalon, kitchen cabinets are Drab) and textural materials (they are clearly huge fans of shearling chairs) used throughout this home designed by Light and Dwell. Epic cozy levels here. Photos: Tim Lenz.

A fresh guest house/studio in Atwater Village creatively transforms this backyard in Atwater Village, Los Angeles. A single car garage was removed and the new dark-clad structure expanded the house’s living area. Indoor and outdoor rooms connect generations, fostering family bonds. The design emphasizes the link between structures, aligning sleeping and living spaces for intimacy, privacy, and a shared experience of nature.
