The designer simply calls this project a “Kitchen, pantry, and living room in this 80’s tract home turned Spanish Colonial dream.” I call it joyous, family-centred and packed with personality. Pattern and colour overload with practicality but also with fun. I now have to make that pantry my own! Coastal Kitchen and Pantry by interior designer Meta Coleman.

A computer game designer asked Scotland-based Studio Sam Buckley to “create a room that makes people say ‘Wow’ upon seeing the space” and Sam 150% delivered!!! Really creative colours (today’s theme) and patterns join forces to solidify the deal. His client must be the envy of all their friends.

Classic, antique furnishings with really bold and unique colour combinations is how Garrow Kedigian created drama in this Turtle Bay, NYC townhome. Primary colours never looked so fabulous. Photos: Trevor Parker.

The ground floor of this Victorian terrace had been extended over time, creating a series of seemingly purposeless, poorly-lit rooms. Our task was to reorganise the layout to create a warm yet hard-working family home in which each room serves a purpose. Home to a young family, it was important that the ground floor had space for both the children and the adults. Immediately opposite the front door was a functionless room that led through to the kitchen. By relocating the entrance to this room – adding steps and a glazed pocket door – we were able to create a cocooning TV snug for the children. Bespoke joinery lines the walls, whilst a weighty curtain encloses the room in the evenings. The drawing room has now become TV-free and is furnished with reupholstered mid-century pieces already in the clients’ possession. It leads on to a library, which makes use of what was a functionless thoroughfare – a feature of most Victorian terraces. A flight of burgundy steps connects the library to the kitchen, which now has a joyous palette of lilac and yellow. A crisp tide line of colour adds character to the walls, whilst a range of considered lighting options conjure different moods.
Another pat on the back for designer Sarah Brown whose use of colour is always so unique and cheerful. And she’s once again making me think a yellow kitchen is the ultimate.

“A nod to the architectural history of this 1925 home came to mind when designing spaces in this home. Preserving original elements and details of the home was a lovely juxtaposition with it’s newly designed kitchen and layers of upholstery. We reconfigured the layout to suit the family’s lifestyle, transforming imposing spaces into the large open plan living and dining room that works comfortably for daily use and entertaining.”
