This home designed by British designer Ben Pentreath makes me want to sit on a chesterfield, drink tea from a teacup while nibbling on scones and watching Coronation Street. So quintessential British. (Jo featured Ben’s gorgeous former flat here)

With its simple elegance and sense of modest luxury this family home at Bondi is just about perfect. The layering of textures, the black and white contrast, the composure, the calm, a little dash of drama. This is modern Australian at its everyday best. Fabulous interiors by Alwill with architecture by Michelle Orszaczky and landscape design by William Dangar.

I’m daydreaming that I’m standing in this kitchen washing dishes. There’s a smile on my face. Yes I know I’m washing dishes but it’s not a chore in such a bright and airy kitchen. Simple and chic. Loads of style for not much lolly. I’d even be happy in the other kitchen. Other kitchen? You see this is a duplex in a historic Ole Hanson building with interiors by Californian interior designer Jesse DeSanti of Jette Creative. Past meets present, liveable meets loveable.

There is something about a home that is left raw and natural that always gives me heart palpitations. I nearly fell out of my chair when I spotted this apartment that was featured in one of my favourite magazines, Milk Décoration. Formerly a watchmaker’s shop in a building constructed in 1905 in Østerbro, Copenhagen, it is the home of Niels Strøyer Christophersen, co-founder and artistic director of Danish design studio FRAMA. The patina, the history peeking out through peeling paint is perhaps too raw for most, but I think it’s absolutely beautiful. Photos: Nathalie Krag

After all this time. After all the rooms I’ve seen. Still love this place. I remember when I first saw that kitchen wall and those brass taps in Elle Decoration UK all those years ago. Collage House by Jonathan Tuckey Design.
