It’s a play of colours, of shapes, of periods and styles. It’s a play on the senses, an appeal to desires and memories. It’s classic and it’s edgy. It’s theatre set and it’s home. It’s eclectic but not haphazard. No if you look closely it is refined and just so. It’s Château en Île de France by Didier Benderli of Paris-based Kerylos Intérieurs.

Just when I think I have returned to the light the dark side draws me back  and I’m feeling the blues real bad. The good blues that is. Take a look at this stunning kitchen! Rick blue cabinets and tiles, a vintage vibe, brass, brass and more brass and don’t get me started on those windows. I want to pick the whole thing up and plonk it down in my own home. W + S Kitchen by Los Angeles based Taylor + Taylor.

Imagine waking up in this gorgeous master bedroom within a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse in Islington, London. It’s just about perfect. Mid century vibes with modern convenience within a Georgian cocoon. The panelling behind the bed? Bespoke cabinetry hiding wardrobes and storage all a finger push away. No handles to destroy the illusion. But don’t spend all your time in bed. The ensuite bathroom awaits. Think black steel and glass, handmade tiles, brass and once again a touch of mid century in the repurposed vanity. I think I’d be going to bed earlier at night so I could wake up earlier in the morning to enjoy the space. Canonbury Square by Anna Burles.

I love raspberries especially when they are not quite ripe.  All the promise of that distinctive red but just a little tart, fresh not cloyingly sweet. Fresh on the palette and in a colour palette. But this is no one note wonder. Colours switch to deep moody greys through to rich deep blues and warming neutrals. Eclectic yet timeless, luxurious yet comfortable, industrial yet glamourous. Diputación Residence by Barcelona-based interior designer Jaime Beriestain.

Close your eyes. Imagine a refurbished 80s condominium. Now imagine classic mid century pieces. Add in traditional art works. Pop it all on a shiny shiny floor. Open your eyes. Voilà! Here it is. A fabulous Baltimore Loft by Annapolis, Maryland based Bohl Architects.
