As the story goes, when designer Azar Fattahi of LALA Reimagined was vacationing in Mallorca, her fridge leaked and having to replace flooring snowballed into a full-on revamp. With the Mediterranean on her mind, the end result is bright and airy with some really fun touches like colourful tile used in several spaces (that balcony setup with different spaces set up, against the tree backdrop is fantastic!), a magical forest painted mural. Love this! Photos: Ori Harpaz.

What a charming home this was, tucked away in a pretty North Nottinghamshire village, the Victorian Lacemakers’ Grange couldn’t have been more beautifully designed and decorated. Plaster pink limewashed walls gave a raw and authentic base to the room, everything else was so natural and unpretentious, from the floors to the windows. Our Refectory Red Shaker cupboards were very straightforward, smartly topped with black granite, they could have been there for decades. Lacy curtains, deVOL Lace Market Tiles (inspired by the lacemakers of Nottingham in the early 1900s, so very fitting for this home) and a pretty Art Deco chandelier gave French bistro vibes, but the simple, functional layout and classic flooring brought it back to an English country grange.
When I saw this sweet little kitchen pop up on deVOL‘s IG account I nearly had a stroke. This is going straight into my inspiration folder. The colour palette and the floor tiles are to die for!!!!

Wiltshire Farmhouse by Blank Slate Studio showcases the sensitive modernization of a traditional stone farmhouse in the English countryside. Bari Jerauld and team have preserved the original structure while introducing new oak beams, open joists and character-grade oak floors in soft shale tones. Checkerboard limestone tiles and cobbled utility spaces enhance the rustic charm, while rich marble bathrooms add elegance. With symmetry, balance and layered textures, the farmhouse embodies timeless design and understated warmth.

This Hackney house was reimagined by JGraham Design, who transformed the ground floor with a striking extension that opened up the kitchen and dining area. Clever built-ins, hidden storage and a curved rooflight soften the space while flooding it with natural light. A bench around the dining table frees up space and adds functionality, while bold copper worktops and lime-washed walls bring colour and texture. In the garden, a blackened-timber studio serves as office, guest room and yoga retreat, its birch-ply interior calm, versatile, and quietly elegant.

Just because you live in a Colonial home doesn’t mean it has to be decorated in a traditional and stuffy way. And if you have Frances Merrill of Reath Design responsible for the interiors you know it’s going to include a cacophony of colour and pattern (in this a mix of pastels and rich colours, and lots of botanical prints), and a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. It’s the perfect foil for a fun, young family who wanted something cheerful to combat cold, grey days. Photos: Laure Joliet.
