What is not to love about this kitchen?! It has EVERYTHING on my kitchen wish-list – cabinetry painted in the prettiest green (Calke Green by Farrow & Ball), black and white checkered tile floor, marble and tile backsplashes, a big Wolf range, and the pièce de résistance – original wood paneling and ceiling/beams that were sandblasted and refinished. It’s PERFECT. Designed by Jaqui Seerman. Photos: Jess Isaac.










The Northamptonshire country house, once soulless due to poor renovations, found new life through a thoughtful redesign. Every corner was reimagined, with the old drawing room transformed into a spacious kitchen and scullery, allowing for informal yet elegant entertaining. The former kitchen became a cozy library, adorned with rich hues and bookshelves. A light-filled day room provided a relaxing space, connecting the house with its history. The blend of old and new pieces created a timeless atmosphere, fostering a comfortable, fun, and enduring family life.

A mix of eras are found throughout this apartment in the Spanish resort town of San Sebastián. Designer Iñigo Iriarte maintained as many original features as possible in the space, and kept the decor really eclectic with a plethora of random vintage pieces. Textures and patterns really warm up this apartment and create a very welcoming vibe. Photos: Erlantz Biderbost



















Classic details marry with contemporary profiles to create a space outside of an era. Timefull materials, intended to age, lend ease and authenticity to the design. Unlacquered brass, hand troweled plaster, honed Pietra Gris, and ebonized oak walk the line between grandeur and everyday living. Pairings: wild rice, rainy afternoons, Crémant d’Alsace.
This is home of Victoria Sass of Minneapolis-based Prospect Refuge. It is everything I love about design and more. Respecting the history of a home (NOT painting the original woodwork!), adding lots of vintage touches and mixing it with more contemporary furnishings which are often what gets you the level of comfort we have come to expect. I adore every little bit each space. Photos: Chris Mottalini.















In the heart of London’s Minet Estate Conservation Area, a Victorian maisonette underwent a transformative collaboration between Nimtim Architects and their clients, resulting in a harmonious oasis in the city. The owners wanted the home to feel open and connected but not cavernous. The upper floor boasts a master suite with bespoke features and garden-facing views. Nimtim ingeniously designed a discrete guest annexe with a separate entrance. Generous rear openings frame the secluded garden, maintaining the original stock-brick wall’s charm. Natural elements like Douglas fir and soft plaster create a timeless backdrop for the clients’ art and books. The garden, a lush haven, offers defined moments amid ornamental grasses and a wildlife pond, a serene retreat in the midst of urban life.
