In the coastal town of Caldes d’Estrach, John Brown Projects designed Armonia, a serene retreat that captures the essence of Mediterranean living. Owned by a Catalan family now based in Australia, the beach house offers an escape from southern winters into long Spanish summers. Modern comforts are balanced with traditional character, creating an elegant, deeply personal home. Within the house time slows, inviting relaxation, connection and the enduring rhythm of coastal life rooted in heritage and memory.

Steps from the Palais Royal, the Fontaine Molière apartment by Studio Ebur unfolds in a graceful U-shaped plan where rooms slip easily one into the next. The grandeur of the 17th and 18th centuries lingers in lofty ceilings and tall windows, enriched by Versailles parquet and Burgundy stone. Revived beams, intricate woodwork and a spirited play of marbles and natural materials infuse the interiors with warmth, elegance and a distinctly Parisian timelessness.

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.
