This apartment in Wrocław, Poland is such a note-worthy example of how to take a small space and make it grand. Not being afraid to use some colour (particularly loving the unexpected chartreuse baseboards), not shying away from using rather large furniture (that squishy sofa), adding an adorable hex tile floor in the kitchen to delineate it without taking up space, and all that built-in bedroom storage. Finchstudio did a wonderful job designing this apartment. Photos: Aleksandra Dermont.

London-based designer Isabella Worsley takes a fresh and characterful approach to design. Her use of colour and pattern, in both furniture and on the walls lends itself to a more youthful and vibrant approach to design with a British flair. This isn’t stuffy nor is it granny-approved, and it sure is family-friendly.

This was full house renovation to restore and bring back to life a Victorian semi detached house in SE London. We designed the kitchen extension sympathetic to the original house and to appear like it was always there. We created a warm and inviting family home, rich with colour, texture, traditional features and clever lighting. Designed by Uns Hobbs, this home is soooo charming! The colours are so pretty and warm, and the deVOL kitchen is an absolute dream (chef’s kiss to that “Refectory Red”). Photos: Boz Gagovski.

I’m stalking a late-Victorian townhouse on North London’s Ospringe Road, a short walk from Tufnell Park and Kentish Town. Spread over five storeys the home is packed with charm and character. Crafted from London stock brick and crowned with steep Welsh slate roofs with tall chimney stacks, it exudes timeless elegance. The interior spaces have been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, carefully preserving historic features such as fine plasterwork and an elegant, sculptural staircase. My favourite though is the blue reading room (painted in ‘Vardo’ by Farrow and Ball). Just perfect for a bibliophile in you.

The owner of this Park Avenue apartment has a penchant for blue, and a love of art. That combination along with the bold style of designer Nick Olsen makes for a really graphic, dynamic and really eye-popping space. I love the tension created by using antique/classic furnishings paired with the modern art. (Photos: Thomas Loof)
