Sean Symington‘s personal residence is a sophisticated and intricately designed house, serving as a direct embodiment of his unique design sensibilities and personal aesthetic. With dedicated effort, Sean and his team painstakingly revitalised this Victorian Terraced house in the heart of Bath, fashioning it into a distinctive and personality-infused property that stands as a genuine testament to the design firm’s proficiency in restoration and interior architecture. Once we obtained the property, Sean and his team embarked on the challenging task of transforming this former student rental house into a distinct and inviting family home, which would also serve as a showcase for our firm’s capabilities. We adorned each room with exquisite fabrics and wallpapers, crafting eclectic and refined interior designs.
This is about as quaint and quintessentially English as it gets. And includes one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve seen.

For the top floor of a classical and stately Edwardian in the iconic neighborhood of Pacific Heights- perched 400 ft above sea level, we transformed one wing into a private Primary Suite complete with a bedroom lined with linen walls, travertine-clad bathroom, and walk-in closet. The other wing became a cozy Media Room where the family of 4 can hang out regularly and enjoy views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
Architectural design studio HOMEWORK created drama with colour, statement furnishings and finishes in these spaces that really make me want to chill out, lounge in bed and brush my teeth in style! Photos: Nicole Franzen; Styling: Rosy Fridman.

This drop dead gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds is the weekend home of designer/decorator couple Duncan Campbell and Luke Edward Hall. Full of colour, exuberance, whimsy, and an unparalleled eclecticism, this home is so freaking fabulous I can hardly stand it. If you ever thought about getting a second home thinking it would be a great excuse to try out colours that you don’t have the nerve to use in your primary home, here is proof that you need to make that happen! (Though as you will see in an upcoming post, this talented duo went as crazy with colour in their primary residence). Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna & Billal Taright.

A stone’s throw from the Houses of Parliament, on one of the finest early Georgian streets in London, is this beautiful pair of houses that in 1906 had been combined to form a single dwelling. We remodelled the whole house, moving the kitchen and bathrooms, restoring the staircase, putting back panelling, replacing walls that had been taken down. The interiors are intentionally simple, drawing on the original early 18th century character of the rooms, but with a playful sense of pattern, and a palimpsest of history, running through its veins.  We used extensive fabrics and papers from Watts of Westminster, Morris & Co and Robert Kime in developing a palette of soft, calm greys, taupes and greens, with splashes of burned red, yellow and Prussian blue throughout. The garden was completely remodelled by Pip Morrison and we designed a metal glasshouse at the corner of the garden which catches the rays of the evening sun.
Another timeless beauty designed by Ben Pentreath, where I could move right in as it is with simply my clothes, the husband and cats.

Hannah Pemberton of WANDA transformed a 2700 sq ft Arts and Crafts home in the English seaside town of Margate that had fallen into disrepair into a contemporary, colourful space for her and her family. The unique colours used in just-the-right-dose-so-not-to-be-overwhelming ways are really refreshing and spirited. Photos: Chris Snook for Domino.
