“The bathtub is a quiet moment of respite at the end of a long, emotional day. It’s a serene, soaking sanctuary and the epitome of self care. Warm bathwater with scented suds envelops every inch of one’s body in the most comforting hug. Between a set of European-style wooden shutters, a cool breeze whistles through the window allowing one’s thoughts to wander and providing a moment for meditative breath; to reflect on deep thoughts. The crackle of the candle beside the tub is a comfort in the silence while warm, ambient light allows for pen to be put to paper, perhaps spilling out unrequited emotions.“

Ahmad AbouZanat of design studio PROJECT AZ has created a bathroom that explores the beauty of simplicity and understated luxury. Rust-coloured tiles mirror the building’s exterior, contrasting with white tiles to create distinct yet unified areas.

This apartment in Wrocław, Poland is such a note-worthy example of how to take a small space and make it grand. Not being afraid to use some colour (particularly loving the unexpected chartreuse baseboards), not shying away from using rather large furniture (that squishy sofa), adding an adorable hex tile floor in the kitchen to delineate it without taking up space, and all that built-in bedroom storage. Finchstudio did a wonderful job designing this apartment. Photos: Aleksandra Dermont.

Muted neutral colours, maximum comfort, an elevated level of casual, polished but pared back…spaces by designer Mike Moser are bound to please the eye and have you taking notes.

I thought it was about time that I spend a Sunday sharing Morocco’s version of a castle (I guess more of a palace) so welcome to Riad Hiptage. Located in the Medina of Tetouan, it was built in the 19th century and renovated in 2020, has 10 bedrooms, 6 full baths, large Moroccan salons, two bright patios, a terrace and a fountain. This home is to die for – from the arch details and columns to the tilework and stained glass windows, the massive ceiling height and courtyard…..I cannot fathom living in a home this beautiful.

This rustic and utterly fabulous home is that of another designer over at HÁM Interiors, founder Tom Cox. Tongue and cheek rustic cottage, yet this design firm always manages to pull off some level of “really cool”.
Our founder Tom Cox fulfilled a long-time dream of owning a secluded farmhouse in Devon. He’s filled it with art, antiques, and furniture that reflect the Cox family’s design aesthetic and his love of nature. The farmhouse, cottage, and outdoor kitchen provide a cosy, inviting space for Tom, his family, and friends to escape and relax in comfort.
