When you have views of the gorgeous coast of Salcombe, Devon it seems logical to go with a seaside vibe in this Victorian family cottage. Lots of white, blue, red and yellow and some really fun stripes, which I am always a fan of, makes this home really inviting and playful and brings the outdoors in. Designer Sarah Southwell really hit the nail on the head here. Photos: Jonathan Bond.

As principal of Mila Interiors, Kamila Pagowski blends European sensibility with a New York-honed eye for detail. For a historic Lower Garden District home in New Orleans, she preserved its architectural integrity while infusing vibrant color, pattern and a joyful collection of furnishings and art, a mix of high and low, vintage and new. The result is a warm, unpretentious space thoughtfully tailored to the needs and spirit of a modern family.

Villa Madagascar, once a Paris expo pavilion and relocated to Normandy has been transformed by architect-designer Baptiste Legué into a serene holiday home. His atelier guides each project from the initial idea to final delivery, focusing on functional layouts, seamless flow and strong connections to the building’s surroundings. The result is a raw yet warm aesthetic, using natural materials to create timeless, welcoming spaces.

Without wanting to compromise on the design direction, a lot of planning time went into ensuring the house delivered on achieving next level design details whilst remaining a functional and liveable space for a young family, which has frequent children parties and playdates to contend with. We designed the house to be, for the most part, a peaceful haven for us to relax with family and friends in. One of the big requirements was we wanted to create a living room space that allowed us to look out towards a garden brimming with plants to provide year-round interest – this is where Irene had a lot of fun with the design. The traditional ‘front room’ was disposed of and in its place we installed a hard-working kitchen that faces the road, which allowed us to have a larger living room at the back looking towards the garden.

This handsome London townhouse has been fully redesigned by Emma Ainscough to create a layered, characterful home tailored to the needs of a young family. Original architectural details were carefully restored, including period joinery and decorative features in the entrance hall. A refined yet playful palette runs throughout, with bold colour accents, antique lighting and textured finishes adding softness and personality. The children’s spaces are whimsical and adaptable, while the primary suite offers calm and balance. Across all floors, thoughtful layouts, clever storage and bespoke furnishings bring together comfort, practicality and a sense of quiet charm.
