Bespoke pale pink and blue walls, a kitchen decorated with turrets and finials, murals and tree wallpapers mix with antique and vintage furniture to create the prettiest, eclectic Victorian home in east London designed by Rachel Chudley. I love that it’s precious but not too precious and the colours are sooo soothing. Photos: Paul Massey

In redesigning this Brooklyn Heights apartment, interior designer Augusta Hoffman has drawn inspiration from the neighbourhood’s elegant brownstones. The space is contemporary yet in harmony with the historic surroundings. A combination of antique and modern furniture, a blending of styles, makes for a unique atmosphere. Small details, like brass accents and a scenic mural, add character. The resulting apartment is a harmonious mix of warmth, sophistication, and subtle drama, inviting without being overpowering.

This drop dead gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds is the weekend home of designer/decorator couple Duncan Campbell and Luke Edward Hall. Full of colour, exuberance, whimsy, and an unparalleled eclecticism, this home is so freaking fabulous I can hardly stand it. If you ever thought about getting a second home thinking it would be a great excuse to try out colours that you don’t have the nerve to use in your primary home, here is proof that you need to make that happen! (Though as you will see in an upcoming post, this talented duo went as crazy with colour in their primary residence). Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna & Billal Taright.

An old stable block in the heart of a family run farm is transformed into a B&B. Situated on a working farm in Wiltshire in a unrivaled location nestled into the rolling hills sits The Farm at Avebury. Five hideaway stables of varying sizes offer guests a break from the outside world. From an interiors point of view we had a lot of fun with colour and pattern, wanting to offer visitors something they didn’t necessarily have at home.
The colourful yet calming vibes of these transformed spaces are exactly what I would want on a vacation to Wiltshire, as opposed to staying in a bland and unwelcoming hotel. Designed by Polly Ashman.

This cosy outbuilding will serve as a games room and a space to enjoy outdoor living come rain or shine. Our clients wanted The Den to be used by all generations as a place to escape, relax and have fun; away from day-to-day life. The bar area with hatch windows that swing open on to a decking area complete with a hot tub and outdoor shower and the mezzanine floor hammocks allow for that playful touch. We transformed this one bed annexe into an open plan living space complete with a kitchenette, bar area, living space, bathroom and a mezzanine. We chose a marriage of natural materials, vivid colour and carefully curated vintage furniture in our design for this very special space. A particular love of ours is how the powdery blue, aubergine, and buttery yellow stand out in equal measure on this little kitchen area.
Such a unique colour palette that gives a vitality to this secondary space and beckons guests over from the main house. Another really fun project by Vaughan Design & Development.
