Doing something a little different today to get in the holiday spirit. And to do that I always gravitate towards Sköna hem because as is the case with this Swedish farm (built in 1854), the Swedes really know how to do simple holiday décor really well. Happy holidays! (Photos: Johanna Hagbard)

Sophisticated and sexy xeriscaping is not something I thought I’d be sharing on Desire to Inspire but this Californian garden by TERREMOTO is not only environmentally sensible it references the area’s history and it’s fabulous. Think reducing your amount of turf space, installing drought-tolerant plants, and adding more shade elements to reduce the amount of water needed then think hot (no not temperature) and chic. It’s got it all.

Full of character and colour. Just one look and you know it’s quintessential English style. Old sits with new while pattern is layered and celebrated. It’s all eminently sensible and it’s all a lot of jolly fun. Living life well in the Riverside House, West London by Kate Guinness.

Visitation. In the sphere of hôtels particuliers where classicism reigns supreme, this hidden house bears witness to a Paris that is a meeting point of history and today. Another beautiful home transformed by the legendary Charles Zana. (Photos: Francois Halard)
