Sarah Vanrenen Ltd is renowned for creating characterful, comfortable interiors rich in texture, colour, and craftsmanship. Blending traditional methods with British design, the studio delivers timeless spaces that suit both classic and modern architecture. For an 18th-century Wiltshire farmhouse, the clients’ first country home, they crafted a glamorous yet welcoming retreat. The project included a large kitchen extension, boot room, pantry, utility room and a thoughtful reconfiguration of the existing layout.

Howark is a small, dedicated team that values collaboration and thoughtful design. For this full renovation, they crafted bespoke furnishings to complement the client’s beloved artworks and antiques, creating a home that feels both cosmopolitan and cosy. Every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a space that is not only beautiful but also deeply personal and reflective of the client’s lifestyle.

Helsham House by Phoebe Nicol is a sensitive renovation of a mid-century modern home originally designed by Peter Hall. The project balances contemporary functionality with heritage preservation, tailored to a young family’s lifestyle. Nicol collaborated closely with the family, ensuring the design reflected their values. Key original features were retained, including cork flooring and timber joinery, while new materials echoed the 1970s palette, blending past and present in a cohesive, thoughtful transformation.

Studio Shamshiri’s Charles Street project in New York’s West Village was designed for a theater-loving client who wanted a home that felt both personal and expressive. Inspired by the neighborhood’s rich bohemian history, the team restored original 1866 details and added thoughtful, artistic layers throughout. Plaster ceiling reliefs, a sculptural bronze mirror and hand-painted murals bring depth and character to the space. The kitchen offers a quiet retreat opening to a peaceful garden. The home embraces a bold, bohemian spirit that resists today’s more muted design trends.

I have been following incredibly talented interior designer and photographer Carley Summers for some time now and just realized we haven’t featured her own designs on the blog yet. They are incredibly inviting and such soft and soothing spaces, and I love every one. She also has a real talent for creating absolutely delightful kitchens in particular. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do! (And if you haven’t picked up her book Sacred Spaces yet, I highly advise you get online and order one, pronto).
