New York based interior designer Harry Heissmann can do it all, and then some. Harry moves effortlessly from traditional to contemporary and everything in between, which prompted him to describe his style as ‘client-centric’. With a penchant for maximalism, whimsy and an apparent obsession with exotic animals, his spaces are destined to put a smile on your face.

After perusing the portfolio of interior and textile designer Sarah Fortescue it quickly becomes evident that fabrics, patterns and colours are quintessential to her work.
Sarah was brought up between Cornwall and South Africa, surrounded by big open spaces and beautiful wildlife. The natural world and cultures of the world have always been the inspiration for her Interior & Product Design. Living in South Africa and Hong Kong Sarah explored exotic parts of the world where she could source textiles and develop her ideas for her interiors and home accessories. Her sense of colour and how she uses it to create harmonious interior spaces is where the true talent lies. We use the world and its cultures as our sourcing pot for inspiration and textile sourcing, but it’s here at home in Cornwall where our team of talented craftsman lovingly create our beautiful products. Our sophisticated and eclectic creations are the perfect way to add personality and bursts of colour to your home, through exciting designs and the highest quality craftsmanship. (The wallpaper in the first few photos is from her line and I’m in love with this cushion).

“Our Coopers Shoot project near Byron Bay was wish fulfilment made real for a young family of four. Our brief was to create spaces that would suit a busy family lifestyle but embrace relaxation, that would work both functionally and beautifully, and that would enhance reflection and embrace entertaining.”

Stylish, open plan living with doors flung open to a verdant landscape in one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal hinterland spots. It’s about connection to place and connections to people. Coopers Shoot by Louise Walsh.

The design team prioritise nuance and originality in all their work, whilst also guaranteeing that comfort, quality and authenticity lie at the heart of the studio’s output. Our collective goal is to give clients a tailored and unique design experience. I love that they can adapt to any style and use colour and pattern to create exciting spaces.

We have been featuring the work of renowned photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes for many years and I was delighted to hear from him the other day. He wanted to share the home he recently purchased and renovated (it was in quite a state when he bought it, and there are before photos at the end of this post). It is a triplex apartment in Hackney, East London that is available for photo shoots and features some retro vintage furnishings that has always been his signature style. Graham’s new home is fabulous with a kitchen that is now modern and filled with light from 2 large windows, a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, a gorgeous modern bathroom tiled with large format tiles resembling polished concrete with corner bath (looove!!!!) and a lofty bedroom that also has great windows.

He’s done such an incredible job with this home, getting rid of the bland and ugly and creating a cool, vintage-vibing place. I had to share some of the before photos given the condition it was in which shows how much of a project this was. Great job Graham!!!
