Loving the cabin-in-the-woods, hunting lodge, boys-only-club vibes in this home. This former home of hám interiors Co-Founder Tom Cox in Barnes reflects his character and talent for design at every turn. The colour palette and his eclectic private collection of artwork and curiosities give a nod to his passion for the great outdoors, as well as his tendency for the unexpected. This masculine scheme pairs pops of colour with a refined elegance, and reveals our expertise in creative spatial planning. The rear extension transforms the space, while the bespoke kitchen designed and built by our team is finished beautifully with meticulously sourced reclaimed items such as the sink, wall lights and stag water spout.

It’s not for everyone I will give you that. Some of you will be reaching for a paintbrush or even a contractor to rip it all out but there is a simple, rustic beauty in these rooms that really appeals to me. I love the honesty, the history, the patina of each space. As for that little kitchen … swoon! And it’s for sale (in London at London prices). The Coach House via The Modern House.

I had to share another spot-on project (located in Oxfordshire, England) by the incredible talented firm of hám interiors. From a 1950s property with limited architectural character, we undertook this full design, build and interior design project to create a modern country home. Open-plan living spaces with pitched ceilings are given warmth with an eclectic collection of antiques and specially commissioned large-scale artworks, while reclaimed sinks and fireplaces were sourced on buying trips to Belgium. Our signature shiplap boarded ceilings, textural flooring, bold pops of colour and handcrafted furniture give this country home an established elegance.

I’m dead. This home is absolutely incredible. Sooooo much space! I can’t even imagine. Set within 27 acres of grounds including two lakes and a wood. The property’s immaculate facade gives an indication of the extensive renovation works which have transformed the house from an almost derelict pile to the exceptional family home it is today. Arranged over three floors, this home is approx 8,000 sq ft in total and boasts six bedrooms all en-suite, a gym, three reception rooms, a large dining room and open plan kitchen and breakfast room. The impressive entrance hall has a large format checkerboard floor made from highly polished stone, and high ceilings with exposed oak beams. Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

What a week! I need a break. Unfortunately I can’t escape the real world so it will have to be a virtual getaway. Today’s daydream is bought to you by Atelier du Pont whose transformation of this holiday house in Menorca, Spain ticks all my boxes. I can feel the stress melting away already.
