Nestled in tranquil woodland this Henley cottage has been sensitively reimagined and restored by Vaughan to honour its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Inspired by the surrounding British countryside, the interiors celebrate original features, painstakingly preserved and reimagined with a light, playful touch. Natural materials and a soft palette enhance the cottage’s warmth and charm, creating a timeless yet evolving home. Though thoroughly updated, it remains deeply rooted in its setting, a peaceful retreat for both the rhythm of daily life and the quiet of the weekend

Designer Claire Staszak of Centered by Design coins this Chicago townhouse “east coast meets west coast”. It has an air of sophistication yet a sense of calm and comfort and a lovely mix of antiques and pretty wallpapers added here and there. I am totally smitten with the dark and moody library/music room and that stunning green (Benjamin Moore’s Vineland). Photos: Taylor Hall O’Brien.

A bachelor’s dual-purpose, industrial solo pad allows for moments of self-discovery and experience — a true blank canvas that, through thoughtful design, exudes personality and embraces curiosity. An enviable art collection — including a two-story custom installation — and street-level event space only add to the adventure.
There’s a sense of drama, coolness, a modern artsy vibe in this West Loop home. I am swooning over the bedroom in that glorious green (Benjamin Moore’s Polished Slate) with the “Moon Gate” transition to the meditation space. Designed by Studio Sven. Photos: Ryan McDonald.

This bay-fronted house has a beautiful Georgian facade and a 1960s extension to the rear. We celebrated its quirky patinated walls and wonky wooden floorboards. In all our projects we hand pick antiques, but here we focused on Arts and Crafts furniture, a style that our client loved. We also created bespoke pieces such as the ebonised dining table. This was inspired by an antique piece and was designed to fit the curve of the bay window to ensure it was the best spot to hang out with family and friends. The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
This house has such an uplifting energy about it, and I LOVE that designer Lonika Chande maintained and embraced some of the history. Those living room walls on either side of the fireplace with the peeling wallpaper is really beautiful. Photos: Milo Brown.

Give me all the wood-wrapped homes! This guest cottage in Tennessee is wrapped in honey-coloured hickory that adds such a warmth and makes you feel like you’re in a tree house. Other elements add to the coziness and bring more natural elements in like the sloped ceilings, smaller rooms, they left the fieldstone foundation and chimney bare, and heated stone pavers in the ground floor rooms. Designer Tammy Connor and architect Stanley Dixon really nailed this project.
