This is proof you can never have too many colours and patterns (as long as they are similar in tones) and it together it makes a home so cozy and inviting and is complete eye candy. I adore this Kensington family home designed by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler.

Dating back to 1871, Ellsworth rests serenely along a tranquil country road in northwestern Connecticut. Originally a sprawling 1,200-acre dairy farm, its current thirty-three-acre expanse of woodlands and fields preserves the narrative of its evolving past. Having admired the property for years, the renovation by Hendricks Churchill was carefully considered. Today, Heide Hendricks and Rafe Churchill call it home, honouring its history through ongoing enhancements, including maintaining hay fields and repurposing the dairy barn.

Here, the choice was made to open up all the windows to maximise the amount of light but also the number of views to the outside world. The kitchen is completely open to the living room and stands out for its colour, but is discreet in that it hides all its cupboards, offering a kind of extension to the living room, reinforced by the presence of a large mirror above the worktop, which plays with the volumes and has fun blocking the view with a play of reflections. The bedroom has been designed as a glazed hut set into the flat. Made entirely of rough-hewn planks, it provides just enough space for a double bed, a dressing area and a discreet passageway to the bathroom, which is dressed in pink and marble. Playing with perspectives and offering unobstructed views, while at the same time highlighting the uniqueness and specificity of each room, makes the small square metre definitely more lively and livable.
Marianne Evennou does it best, taking a tiny 35m2 apartment in Paris’ 1st arrondissement, and making it seem much larger. Bright, colourful and full of style. Photos: Grégory Timsit.

Oh what I would do to get my hands on a home like this! Gothic revival architecture – yes please! A fireplace in the kitchen – yes please! A sunroom (with an exterior that looks like a little cottage) – yes please! Timelessly classic traditional design with a touch of modernity – yes please! Design: L.B.

You are about to be transported to the countryside of Wiltshire, where traditional British style is aplenty and the colours are heart-warming and vibrant. Where black and white tiled foyers and a classic details and patterns are everywhere creating layers and visual interest. Eyre Interiors really created a beautiful home here.
