Wandsworth Vicarage is a Victorian rectory in South West London, reimagined by Tamsin Saunders of Home & Found with sensitivity and character. Once tired and neutrally decorated, the house has been transformed into a warm, vibrant home that feels as though it evolved over decades rather than through a single renovation. By introducing colour, pattern and texture, and carefully layering antiques, vintage lighting and bespoke pieces, Tamsin created interiors that reflect the clients’ personalities while honouring the building’s history. Spaces open to the garden and connect through thoughtful views, giving each room purpose and flow. From a softened conservatory to richly detailed living areas and tranquil bedrooms, the house now balances heritage with comfort, intimacy with grandeur and artistry with everyday life.

Boronkay Studio have transformed this Victorian villa in leafy Richmond into a layered family home that balances grandeur with intimacy. Guided by a philosophy of blending tradition and innovation, the studio reimagined the property to reflect both its architectural elegance and the family’s multicultural background. The interiors weave vintage Italian and French pieces with bespoke furniture and collected artworks, creating a deeply personal narrative. Bold colors, subtle textures, and expressive detailing converge to shape a soulful, timeless home.

This was a 2 1/2 year project of a large Kensington townhouse, including a grand architectural intervention of a large basement excavation and addition of a barrel vaulted space above.  This lead to a light flooded lower ground floor and architecturally arresting structure of a double height space with a bookcase rising up within. It was a complete renovation, with every detail, large and small, designed and considered. And as home for a family with two young children it had to be both characterful and uniquely designed, and super practical, comfortable family home.
I am utterly smitten with this yellow tonal sitting room (Edward Bulmer’s ‘Lute’) that “offers a soft, sunny backdrop for layered textures and quiet contrast”. Designer Jessica Summer sure knows how to use colour in impactful ways but on the softer side, creating hints of drama and depth.

Designed by renown architect Norman Askins, we were tasked with thoughtfully renovating and designing this Nancy Creek Ridge home for a young Atlanta family. A full renovation of the kitchen allowed us to drench the walls in a beautiful zellige tile which beautifully bounced light around the intriguingly laid out kitchen. Custom millwork and an island crafted to emulate a large antique work table created the ideal kitchen for the family – perfect for both the large holiday gatherings they often host and the intimate nights as a family. Throughout the rest of the home, we balanced a vivid art collection with a palette both soothing and surprising. Pattern and texture blend throughout the home from the geometric wallpaper in the foyer to the lush brass inlays of the primary bath. The end result showcases the beauty of a design that can push the boundaries of a historic design into a timeless future.
I love the juxtaposition of light and dark in this home, and use of colour in a really sophisticated way. Such a moodiness and warmth, with a touch of elegance. Designed by Bradley Odom. Photos: Mali Azima.

South London Home by Alex Dauley is a transformed four-bedroom Edwardian house in Streatham, reimagined for a fashion stylist client. Extensions to the rear and side expanded the footprint, adding a primary suite, guest wardrobes, a family bathroom and a home gym. The design balances minimal, uncluttered rooms with warmth through marble, stone, wood, polished plaster and limewashed walls. Muted neutrals pair with deep blues and greens, creating a sophisticated yet calm atmosphere that harmonises contemporary style with the home’s Edwardian heritage.
