We were approached by a young couple who bought a lovely Victorian house in the heart of Dartmouth Park in North London. The house had the great proportions that later Victorian London houses tend to have, but it suffered from one of those late-1990s renovations that really dampened the feeling of the building. The clients encouraged us to use colour and pattern and asked us to maintain an element of traditional without making the house feel like an old-fashioned cottage. I immediately thought of wallpaper and proper 4-poster beds, but pulled the house back into the 21st century by mixing in plenty of more contemporary furnishings, colours and patterns. I hope the result is a house that feels vibrant and unexpected, while at the same time strongly connected to its Victorian roots.
I am completely smitten with this home. The perfect blend of traditional and contemporary. The perfect selection of earthy, warm colours, and the perfect amount of pattern and texture. Designed by Brandon Schubert. Photos: James McDonald

Somers House by Kennedy Nolan serves as a weekender, summerhouse and a family gathering space for the owners’ children, partners and grandchildren. Blending architecture and interior design into a unified approach, it exemplifies harmony between form, space and material. With charred timber cladding, ochre render and oiled Douglas Fir, the home offers a tactile, resilient design suited to its wild Westernport Bay setting. The palette, inspired by Gija artist Queenie McKenzie and Luis Barragán’s vibrant hues, balances robustness and warmth. Every element—from red travertine to textured finishes—creates a sanctuary where privacy and togetherness coexist, celebrating timelessness, weathered beauty and distinctly Australian coastal aesthetics.

Designer Marta De La Rica at it again with another home in Madrid that has similar warm tones as the last one, but with a bit of subtlety here. Some grasscloth wallpaper adds texture and coziness, while floral wallpaper and a pretty suzani bedcover add femininity. Photos: Manolo Yllera.

I adore shades of terracotta. It makes a space feel so warm and cozy but still vibrant. Madrid-based designer Marta De La Rica created all the warmth in this home with layers of terracotta and shades of blue. She is always unique in her approach to design and colour choices and this is no exception. Photos: Manolo Yllera.
