Colour, pattern, textiles, flea market finds and carefully curated antiques. Everything considered but nothing “precious” … except the experience. The place, the memories, the lifestyle. Family and friends, the smell of the sea and a home that holds relevance to the owners. Cape Ann Summer House by Reath Design.

If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise. No not the teddy bears’ picnic. Something better. This stylish home nestles gently in the forest echoing the surrounding timbers. A sophisticated summer home in the Stockholm Archipelago by Halleroed.

Blending history and Mexican artisan tradition with contemporary design, Ignacia Guest House is a dazzling, multifaceted jewel with its sunset colours and bespoke statenment furniture. The boutique hotel in the heart of Mexico City’s hip Colonia Roma district is the creation of interior designer Andrés Gutiérrez including those amazing cabinets and tables. Time to plan a holiday perhaps?

This comprehensive renovation and interior design of a vacation rental building located in the old town of Valencia is by Paloma Bau Studio. Reinforcing metal rises up through the 4 floors providing not only structural support but also somewhere for sinks, furniture and accessories to be hung. Each floor is coloured zoned and a curve is used as a repeating motif. It’s an ode to living in a narrow space, exploring solutions for each floor that is only a few meters wide.

Interior designer Marta de La Rica calls it a taste of calm where traditional meets contemporary. This Madrid apartment is an ode to beauty with an emphasis on colour, texture, fabrics and craft. The painted walls and chandelier in the living room bring a sense of whimsy as does the shell-encrusted bathroom vanity. Chic European living but with Spanish roots.
