I love a sneak peek into a designer’s personal space. It’s like peering into their design zeitgeist. Thomas Geerlings of Dutch interior architecture and design firm Framework has created a home that is carefully curated with treasures and memories. With its sense of individual style and some amazing furniture pieces colour plays a huge part in the joy these family spaces bring.

Bellamy & Single (Stina Ekblad Bellamy & Tori Single) is an interior design partnership based on the Essex/Suffolk border, creating refined English homes with individuality and personality. We believe that beautiful interiors can enhance and transform the way we live. That is why we are passionate about creating unique yet timeless and relevant interiors to suit each client.

This is pretty close to English-style perfection for me. I’d throw in a bit more colour and a bit more pattern but otherwise I really love everything these ladies do.

Surrey-based interior designers Pringle & Pringle completely reimagined this Victorian property, overcoming its unconventional layout to create a unique home. The floorplan was redesigned for practicality and aesthetics, featuring four separate entertaining spaces, ensuites for each bedroom and a central family kitchen. Matching limewashed walls, chevron flooring and Carrara marble fireplaces unite the reception rooms. Functional spaces were elevated with bespoke joinery and custom designs personalized each child’s bedroom.

“A family with two young children found their dream home in Dolores Heights. While it was renovated not too long ago, it required additional work on the interiors to improve functionality and have the design ‘feel like them’. We updated finishes and lighting, created new millwork moments for storage and rethought the space planning of the main floor to accommodate their needs as a family.”

“Architecturally full of character and quirk, this home came with its creative challenges! We chose to paint the concrete floors, brick accents, and salvaged material expressed throughout the home almost all the same color to invoke a visual cohesiveness – and added only a touch of tonal blue and a little bit of wallpaper in two of the spaces. We leaned into the eclectic feel of the home by mixing genres and styles of antiques throughout each room. While much of the furnishings lean neutral, the art and curiosity collections take center stage with their boldness.”
