We have been featuring the work of renowned photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes for many years and I was delighted to hear from him the other day. He wanted to share the home he recently purchased and renovated (it was in quite a state when he bought it, and there are before photos at the end of this post). It is a triplex apartment in Hackney, East London that is available for photo shoots and features some retro vintage furnishings that has always been his signature style. Graham’s new home is fabulous with a kitchen that is now modern and filled with light from 2 large windows, a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, a gorgeous modern bathroom tiled with large format tiles resembling polished concrete with corner bath (looove!!!!) and a lofty bedroom that also has great windows.

He’s done such an incredible job with this home, getting rid of the bland and ugly and creating a cool, vintage-vibing place. I had to share some of the before photos given the condition it was in which shows how much of a project this was. Great job Graham!!!

Remember when a strictly curated colour palette of black and white was the thing? When I see spaces like this I kinda want to be a thing again. Beautiful but strict simplicity. I want more. Guest Cottage by Diana Rice and Chelsea Reale of interior design firm Sissy+Marley.

A deliciously modern take on an Art Déco apartment by Paris-based Laura Gonzalez. Form, pattern, and colour all modern but all perfectly referencing the age of symmetry, bold outlines, geometric forms, new materials and the repetition of elements. Sophisticated and elegant. Tiger bedroom anyone?

I was looking for info on this home I found in the portfolio of designer Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay and discovered this feature in House & Garden that provides many more photos and details…like the fact that this is Henri’s own home – a brick and stone mansion, with a belvedere tower, Dutch gables and large stone-mullioned windows located in Shropshire and built in 1856, then rebuilt after a fire in 1878. The home is exquisite and has so much personality. I am in love. (Jo featured another one of her projects a few months back)

From light-filled and open to moody and contained, from clean-lined to layered with texture and pattern, from contemporary to new Mediterranean this Rancho Santa Fe, California home is all about restrained luxury and casual sophistication.
