This home in Del Mar, California takes Mediterranean vibes and adds a dose of modernity to it. Lots of wood, textures, and a very pale, neutral palette make this really peaceful, inviting and warm. Designed by Intimate Living Interiors. Photos: Karyn Millett.

Mid century meets modern meets fabulous art collection. The stuff of dreams by the master himself  Jamie Bush. I think I need a sit down and a restorative cup of tea after immersing myself in this amazing home.

This stunning 800 year old château is located in the heart of a lush valley in the Dordogne region of South West France has been in the same aristocratic French family since it was built. It can be rented in its entirety or by wing/room at certain times of the year. Château de la Bourlie is currently home to artist Cyril de Commarque and his family, and has been sympathetically renovated – a medieval kitchen was preserved whilst a contemporary kitchen created for the chef. The juxtaposition of old and new here is brilliant.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere super stylish. Bijou/ Bobo Plage by Monaco-based A.R.Rivani Architecture.

Normally when I dream of an island getaway it involves palm trees, white sands and a Bali style pavilion or two. Today’s island dream is an old shipbuilder’s cabin on Vashon Island in Washington’s Puget Sound. Designers Hoedemaker Pfeiffer wove their magic over a year, gut-renovating and reinstating the history and personality of the house. An island dream indeed!
