Pattern on pattern and a kaleidoscope of colour. Antiques and family hand me downs reloved. Books and flowers from the garden, pleated fabric lampshades, plenty of brown furniture and an army of floor rugs. The English do it so so well. Berkshire House by Vanrenen GW Designs.

After surviving a fire and an unsympathetic renovation this Victorian terrace house has been gently and beautifully restored by Melbourne-based design firm Beatrix Rowe. A neutral colour palette, bespoke cabinetry and furniture, “floating” Calacatta marble benches in the kitchen and bathroom and custom arched doors all combine to create a zen like contemporary home. Speaking of bathrooms can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of that bathroom? Swoon!

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekeend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Pedagogic Workshop Versailles by Fleur Delesalle.

Layered and lavish, liveable and lasting, lush and luxurious. LOVE. This exquisite four-bedroom apartment overlooks the banks of the River Thames from Chelsea’s esteemed Cheyne Walk. It is situated on the coveted west and south-facing first floor of Carlyle Mansions and exceeds 2,250 sq ft internally, with rare step-free lateral space and the convenience of an on-site porter. Currently for sale through Inigo.

Her own firm’s profile sums it up best.  “An emotive potency defines Fiona Lynch Office’s work. Incorporating architectural and interior design services, our atmospheric creations embody a spirited minimalism with a keen emphasis on custom joinery, furniture and lighting design.”

A mix of raw and refined, tactile and smooth, handcrafted and hi-tech. The dichotomy defines the spaces but a restrained, neutral palette and a natural materiality cement them as one. Sorento House by Fiona Lynch.
