This home was recently built with incredible views of the Vermont mountains and Sheila Bridges designed it with the outdoors in mind, with beautiful colours and some very à propos wallpapers used in many spaces, all of which depict flora and/or fauna. I love the concept of bringing nature indoors like that, subtle but not so once you catch on :). Photos: Frank Frances.

Located in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, this early 20th-century house was refurbished so that its owners could move in with their growing family. We rethought the space, retaining certain elements with which we were able to play. This house presents a convivial open space where the balance between light tones and dark accents brings an unpretentious elegance.
I love how timeless this project by Blanc Marine Intérieurs is. And so very warm. Much of it is light and the cream tones are gorgeous. Amen to having no jarring white ceilings. Photos: Annie Fafard.

Vaughan Design & Development recently took on the interior design for a spacious six-bedroom family home in Harpenden in Hertfordshire, England. As a new build, the goal was to add warmth, character and functionality to accommodate the clients’ busy lives with young children. Advocates of colour and playful design, Vaughan also needed practical features like a first-floor laundry, boot room, large playroom and luxurious adult spaces. The studio blended natural materials with layered details, traditional fittings and vibrant elements creating a bright, joyful home tailored to the family’s needs.

This 1886 farmhouse is so full of charm and such pretty colours. Embracing its history and giving it all the vintage vibes. By Studio Day Design.

Blank Slate was appointed to oversee the modernization and complete refurbishment of a quintessential, stone farmhouse set in the English countryside. Bari and her team sympathetically stripped the property back, preserving the original structure, and everything they added matched the house’s history and unique character. Material selection was crucial for this project—sourcing new oak beams to match the original ones, and adding open joists throughout the new extension to make the new build feel less new. They installed character-grade oak floors in creamy tones of shale, limed and smoked, cobbles for the boot room and utility, and limestone checkerboard tiles in the entry hall to give it a reclaimed and found feel. Blank Slate moved the entrance to the center, creating perfect symmetry and a large open reception area with a bespoke staircase featuring large curved steps at the base. Bari added rich marble to each of the bathrooms, creating feature showers in both the family bathroom and the en-suite. As a result, the Wiltshire Farmhouse project is a calm haven with a neutral palette of earthy tones and layered textures, embodying the Blank Slate approach perfectly.
Quite literally my dream home. This is perfect in every way. I’d just add a smidge more colour and pattern and happily live here for the rest of my days. (I’m going to be dreaming about that limestone checkerboard entry for the rest of my days)
