“This home represents a true collector who has a passion for beautiful fabrics and furnishings. The approach was to create an environment which celebrated antiques. Every room has a focal point, something that creates visual interest and sparks conversation. Something French, something English, something Italian – we mix pieces of different styles, textures and periods but there is balance and harmony to the overall feel.”

My second house today is half a world away from London but shares so much in common with my first. Both Victorian era homes with light, bright open plan extension. Here the new is separated from the old by a glass walkway and has a strong emphasis on a seamless connection between inside and out. Natural materials abound with a strong connection to the houses original stone. Stanley House by Adelaide-based Georgie Shepherd Interior Design.

You didn’t think I was going to let it go too long without plunging into the portfolio of  New York based design firm Monica Fried Design? With its clean lines, chic materiality and details, mix of vintage and modern this Scarsdale home is just about perfect.

“A rustic-modern vineyard estate designed to prioritize the home’s soaring views. The interiors thoughtfully layer textural finishes to bring the comfort level up and balance the large scale of this inspiring residence.”

It’s about the materials, the light and the details in this Napa Valley home. Modern lines and natural finishes bring warmth and style while always on view are the stunning exteriors. Favourite parts? The shelving in the living room and the light-filled kitchen. Calistoga by Jennifer Robin Interiors.

“A simple curving wall was employed to unify previously awkward and poorly defined spaces by wrapping and distinguishing the living, kitchen and dining rooms. The wall is present in every room, yet never visible in its entirety. This element contrasts the smaller, more intimate dining and kitchen nooks and provides a fluid backdrop to the main living areas, whilst concealing valuable storage space.”
