This beautiful terraced home in Fulham, London, is an energetic, colourful (in mostly small doses) space for an artist and art collector. Most of the walls were left muted to highlight the art, and the top floor was opened up to create a master suite and studio space. A wonderful project by Katie Glaister and Henry Miller-Robinson of K&H Design. (Photos: Simon Brown)

Do you know what I love about a good kitchen? Not the colour of the cabinets or whether the benchtops are stone. OK the layout is very important and I do love open shelving, contentious I know. No what I love about a good kitchen is clever storage and great design, a home for everything and everything in its home. Boards pull out from cabinets, garbage is sorted neatly and dogs have dinner stations. It’s the extras that make a kitchen special like this light-filled room by award winning kitchen design firm Studio Dearborn.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Real, a mental health wellness centre by BHDM.

Jamie Ivey of Richmond, Virginia based interior designers Ivey Design Group has taken a neutral new build (albeit with huge windows taking in the expansive views of woodlands and pond) and created a colourful and welcoming contemporary home. Crisp white walls allow pops of colour to delight and draw you into rooms while layering of textures warms what could have been a cold modern house. Think sophisticated yet family friendly, unique and definitely not boring.

“This romantic San Francisco town house, bathed in pale pinks and gossamer blues, belongs to an adventurous couple who live not far outside the city. Based on conversations with them, the fanciful conceit for our design was that this is a place where the husband comes to visit his wife in her private lair. As such, the décor falls decidedly on the feminine side. Vive la difference, vive l’amour!”

Softest hues, gossamer curtains filtering the light, cosy seating. Calm, uncluttered and carefully considered. Filbert by Studio Shamshiri.
