Our brief was to re-design the clients Pied-a-Terre, including a new kitchen and bathrooms whilst conjuring a ‘Georgian-light’ interior. The previous owners had stripped the maisonette of all its original features and painted everything white so it looked quite stark and clinical. Our clients were keen for us to re-introduce architectural details and inject warmth and character to each space. We added half height panelling in the stairway, living and dining room to bring gravitas and depth, and layered rich colour palettes with antique textiles, Georgian pieces of furniture and bespoke elements. The Devol Sebastian Cox kitchen provides a contemporary contrast to the more traditional elements of the flat.
This is the perfect respite in the busy city to relax, put your feet up and feel as comfortable as can be. Classically British without the stuffiness. Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.

This kitchen renovation designed by Annabel Grimshaw transformed a cramped Georgian space into a vibrant, functional heart of the home. A modest two-meter garden extension created room for a kitchen island, dining area and compact utility room, dramatically improving the layout. Expansive metal-framed glazing floods the space with light, adding a contemporary touch to the historic architecture. DeVol joinery takes centre stage, complemented by personal touches like curated fabrics and artwork. The result is a warm, timeless and inviting space for family and friends to gather. (Keep an eye out at the end for the cutest little laundry.)

As you may have noticed my taste has drifted from anything modern and contemporary to a bit more classic and traditional which is why I really love this. The joining of 2 apartments in Greenwich Village to create a wonderful space for a family with such beautiful architectural details and lots of classic elements. There are some surprise colour choices that really add drama and interest in this otherwise very white home, which I applaud. Designed by Asia Baker of A.A.Baker Design. Photos: Isabel Parra.

Warm, earthy, neutral, comfortable and a wee bit monastic. This sort of vibe is one of the rare times I appreciate a white backdrop. A really pretty Spanish home in San Jose designed by Evgenia Merson. Photos: Jessica Burke.

Interior design in Canada is often questionable, in my humble opinion. Every once in a while a designer comes along that seems to truly have skills and is able to create magazine worthy spaces. Toronto based Sam Sacks is one of them. She’s so good I almost had to split this into two posts but managed to edit the photos down to share my favourites. Some photos: Lauren Miller.
