Relaxed monochromatic living with its restrained palette enhanced by the masterful use of texture. Think light and airy, natural materials and a heightened sense of style. Welcoming and cosy, perfect for family and friends. Southside by Atlanta-based Melanie Turner Interiors.

This Chiswick, London Victorian townhouse was renovated and then sold by Chris Graves of Clarence & Graves. I had to share for 2 reasons: it has a DeVol kitchen and glorious green crittall windows/doors. Among other fabulous things like how many of the original details were maintained during the renovation. I love the light, airiness and playfulness of this home.

“The full refurbishment of an Arts and Crafts family home in North London, with a mid century vibe and an abundance of colour and texture. Lime paint, terrazzo flooring and cane were used extensively to breathe new life into this period property.”

I love modern living in a historic house and when it’s as sympathetically creative and colourful as this renovation by Studio Duggan then I love it even more!

A traditional country home in Sussex that is kept bright and fresh with touches of modernity and youthfulness. Designed by Johnston Parke Interiors. This stunning Grade II listed country house was the family home of The Duchess of Cornwall and had a completed revamp in 2019 for a young family who wanted to maintain the character of the building but inject a sense of fun and colour. They moved from Australia with 1 sofa,  a mattress and some art so everything had to be sourced from scratch including antiques.

“Micro-architecture & play on patterns/materials … Archetypal forms underline how a modern family uses the space, while respecting its Haussmannian architecture. Monolithic settings made from noble materials are complemented by furniture specially designed for the space, such as the monumental dining table of 3.5m created for the rotunda of the dining room. Or, in the master suite, where the graphic wardrobe made of wood marquetry counterbalances the bed, like a pictorial work in a vast room.”

In other words a play on volume and space, new and oversized within a traditional Parisian apartment.  The historical shell remains while modern living spaces are delineated with colour and material blocking as well as simplified geometric repeats. R.O.F flat by Paris-based creative studio Pool.
