I would have never in a million years guessed this was a townhouse in Notting Hill, London. But it makes total sense once learning this home was designed by the gurus of the reclaimed, the salvaged, the well-worn. Retrouvius, you’ve created magic converting this city home into a piece of history. Lime-washed walls, a marble sink from Turkey, silk fabric from Fez, pine planks from a cheese factory, a 15th century fireplace, onyx from a bankrupt chimney shop and many other treasures make this home truly unique.

What was once a dilapidated mess is now the perfect log cabin lake house getaway with tons of rustic charm. Warm modern furnishings and lighting create a beautiful counterbalance to the log structure. Stunning design by Jean Stoffer.

Gemma, founder of Balance Interior Design in South West London, believes that excellent interior design is about finding that sweet spot between what could oppose – aesthetics & function, period & modern, symmetry & offset. My design style leans towards calm interiors with a sense of space and organisation. I focus on light, layering and materiality for a pared back and relaxed style which is at once authentic, warm and inviting. Timeless, comfortable and serene.

I am completely smitten with this stunning Florida home designed by Bohlert Massey. The architectural details are extraordinary, and highlight the global treasures found throughout each room. With an eclectic mix of antique furnishings from different eras and layers of textiles and materials, it’s a feast for the eyes.

The renovation of a 19th Century Bellport Long Island sea captain’s house by C.S. Valentin saw the marriage of the house’s beautifully uncomplicated bones and a mid century aesthetic. It’s been called “Mid Century Shaker” even “Flintstone Chic”. I call it simply sublime.
