Our lovely French clients have lived in this double fronted house for 16 years and, now their children are older, wanted to inject colour and interest to create a sophisticated home that would suit the next stage of their lives. The rarely used dining room was transformed into an inviting library/TV room for their three teenage children to read, relax or to entertain friends. The wall between the existing living areas was taken out, allowing light to flow throughout the ground floor. Throughout the house we overhauled the neutral interiors to align with the taste of our discerning client, who was strongly drawn to depth of colour and marrying of patterns. The end result is a house that feels grown up, layered, and well considered for each individual member of the family.
Designed by Ali Johnson and Alex Keith of Otta Design, this Battersea family home has some really scrumptious colours. I am head over heels for that deep Indian yellow in the library (Paint & Paper Library’s Muga). Photos: Jonathan Bond

A meld of materials, textures, and elements indigenous to the surrounding Mexico region and landscape
Nicole Hollis can take something as casual as a beachfront home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and add her dramatic touches with art and lighting and accents to create a unique statement. Beachy never looked so cool. (Photos: Douglas Friedman)

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.
