I really love the bright, neutral, modern vibes happening in this Texas home designed by Amanda Brooke. The entertainment feature wall is a brilliant design choice, with built-in lighting and storage, and the brass accents in the kitchen with matching marble is gorgeous. (Photos: Jack Thompson)

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.

This is everything a cabin getaway should be. So cozy and relaxing! SETTLE is home to three beautifully restored vintage railway carriages, a handcrafted lakeside cabin and luxury canvas camping, blissfully set in our private Norfolk parkland. The Cabin. Perfect for slow living, our bespoke lakeside cabin is a truly luxurious stay… This handcrafted space was meticulously designed and built by us, combining settle’s signature palette of earthy textures and heritage materials with sleek contemporary fittings and clean lines. Flanked by mature trees and an abundance of native wildlife, this dreamy cabin overlooks the largest of our idyllic waterlily lakes. Heritage timber – one of our most prized materials – clads all the cabin’s interior spaces, its authentic textures bringing the outside ever closer. Mid-century furnishings blend with Scandinavian influences to create a calm, restorative ambiance. For colder days, a large, contemporary wood-burning stove, along with salvaged cast iron radiators throughout the cabin, ensure toasty warmth.

It’s dwellings like this that make me want to bring out my inner minimalism. Neutral, with black accents, and just the basics is all you need in such a small space. This 58 sq m condo in Sweden is for sale via Historika Hem.

“This abandoned shed in the middle of 18 acres had endless charm and character. We worked with this rustic charm and remote wooded location and juxtaposed it with a clean minimal Scandinavian-inspired design for dramatic effect.”

It’s all about contrast in this gut renovation of a cabin in the woods by Stewart-Schafer, contrast of wild forest and clean, minimalist interiors, of rustic versus modern living, dark versus light. It’s also about unity, of the Douglas fir used inside mirroring the surrounding firs, of a wall of windows bringing inside and out together. I’d happily get lost in the woods if I knew I would stumbled across this charming cabin.
