A townhouse in Bristol which mixes old with new, layering playful colour and textures with a palette of beautiful natural materials. We created an eclectic and timeless interior filled with art, antiques and intriguing objects sourced with our intuitive sense of style and fun.
This is the home of Katie Cox of HÁM Interiors. Her love of English country house style, textiles and antiques is quite evident and two thumbs up for that, and holy smokes that yellow! (It’s F&B’s Sudbury Yellow). Photos: Tom Griffiths

Interior designers Handelsmann & Khaw‘s renovation of this Hollywood Hills-style house exudes a perfect blend of heritage charm and modern aesthetics. Located in Sydney, the house features timeless elements paired with contemporary design. The designers created an inviting ambience with an earthy colour palette and abundant natural light. A luxurious mix of textures and materials adds to the home’s allure. The use of stone, brass, and plaster elevates the interiors. Landscaped gardens surround the property, offering a serene escape.

Texture plays a pivotal role in any interior design and it becomes even more significant in a monochromatic house. In the absence of vibrant colours, texture becomes the driving force that breathes life and depth into the space, elevating it from flat and dull to intriguing and captivating. I just want to reach out and touch the rooms in this house. Yes through the computer screen! Velvets and sheepskin, rough jute and coarsely woven leather, smooth cold metals and stone, the almost waxy worn patina of old wood. Valley Village by Los Angeles JDP Interiors.

I’m stalking a late-Victorian townhouse on North London’s Ospringe Road, a short walk from Tufnell Park and Kentish Town. Spread over five storeys the home is packed with charm and character. Crafted from London stock brick and crowned with steep Welsh slate roofs with tall chimney stacks, it exudes timeless elegance. The interior spaces have been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, carefully preserving historic features such as fine plasterwork and an elegant, sculptural staircase. My favourite though is the blue reading room (painted in ‘Vardo’ by Farrow and Ball). Just perfect for a bibliophile in you.

I love taking a peek into designers’ homes. Always so inspiring to see what they create when they are their own client with no constraints except in this case there is one. The house is a rental. That didn’t stop Sophie Ashby of Studio Ashby. Her family home is packed with colour and personality, an eclectic mix of old and new.
