Formal and relaxed, classic and contemporary, inside to out. It’s the perfect mix of the best of the original California bungalow and a modern extension to the rear. Calm and welcoming with restrained touches of luxury modern living. My favourite space? Why the kitchen with its modern reworking of an art deco vibe. Queens Park House by Sydney-based Arent & Pyke.

The renovation of this listed half timbered house in Limburg in the south of the Netherlands may still be in progress but what Maastricht-based interior designer Niels Maier has created takes the breath away. Stylish and sympathetic, minimalist and leaving me wanting more. The timbers in this house are definitely the stars.

Relaxed monochromatic living with its restrained palette enhanced by the masterful use of texture. Think light and airy, natural materials and a heightened sense of style. Welcoming and cosy, perfect for family and friends. Southside by Atlanta-based Melanie Turner Interiors.

A treasure trove, a memory chest, the meeting of high drama and the authentic. Rip and shred, collect and find the soul. Welcome to the home of designer Aimee Wertepny of Chicago-based PROjECT. That bedroom will be floating around in my dreams for days to come.

“The full refurbishment of an Arts and Crafts family home in North London, with a mid century vibe and an abundance of colour and texture. Lime paint, terrazzo flooring and cane were used extensively to breathe new life into this period property.”

I love modern living in a historic house and when it’s as sympathetically creative and colourful as this renovation by Studio Duggan then I love it even more!
