“I truly believe that our homes are a reflection of ourselves. A beautiful home is not just a frivolous desire to acquire nice things, it is about our engagement with the things that make us happy, calm and productive. For me, home is the space I am truly myself. It has to be many things to me, which means it has to be functional, but this doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful as well. In fact, I think surrounding yourself with beauty, whatever that means to you, is an act of self-care that can change your life.”

A designer’s own space is a beautiful source of inspiration and it’s no different with this cosy little kitchen diner by Sophie Rowell, founder of Côte de Folk. Perfectly imperfect, colourful and cozy it’s the quintessential Brit cottage with flair.

Embracing the architecture of this home and playing up the old world vibes, Nickey Kehoe once again adds colour and pattern and lots of cozy vintage vibes in this sun-filled home. Such wonderful light in each space.

“Originally the basement of this stunning home was made up of a warren of small dark rooms. Our clients being particularly keen cooks had a dreamy kitchen on their wishlist alongside essential designated areas for storage and preparation. “

The result? Warm, welcoming, efficient living spaces for a young family who love to cook and socialise.  The colour palette is calm and restrained while the materials are natural with an organic texture. Up in the attic, tired bedrooms were made over and a copper bath adds a touch of luxury.  Denmark Villas by British interior designer Emma Milne.

Layers of moody colours, blues and greens, ochres and rich antique wood. Statement furniture, striking wallpaper and windows draped in stripes and velvets. Cozy and welcoming this renovated Victorian cottage was taken from drab white walls to colourful and packed with personality and style.

A multidisciplinary collective more than a classical architecture firm, Uchronia takes its name from the reflection on fictitional and ephemeral time. The studio creates encompassing “places of experience”, removing the barriers between technique and creativity.
Based in Paris, this firm created quite a spectacular space within this chalet-style home in Deauville, Normandy. That central stone fireplace is an incredible feature.
