I found the name of Spanish interior designer Javier González Sánchez-Dalp via Instagram but when I went looking for a website in the hopes of finding his portfolio I instead found this feature in Nuevo Estilo of his renovated 17th century Mudéjar-style home in the town of Carmona in southwestern Spain. It is spectacular – particularly the outside spaces so I had to start off with those photos. (Photos: Montse Garriga)

“Dare to be different. There is strength and vibrancy in bold texture, tone and material choices. Experimental interiors shift the design world closer to the ideal of truly personalised homes, further away from the repetitive and traditional we’ve come to know.”

Bravo! Embrace bold bathrooms I say especially if they are full of colour and exquisite handmade tiles. Ivanhoe Harem by Melbourne-based Studio Ezra.

A house with beautiful architectural details filled with vintage finds….it really doesn’t get much better than that! Hampshire family home designed by Godrich.

What an absolutely beautiful home full of incredible architecture. Architected and designed by Irish based firm LyonsKelly.

The detached house was built in the 1890s but had been largely untouched since the 1940s. It retained its original layout including servants’ room, scullery and butler’s pantry. The layout and services required modernising but we did not want to take away from the special character of the house. We relocated the kitchen from the Northside to the South-West corner so that it overlooks the gardens and benefits from direct sunlight. This involved altering the service rooms of the house to make a new kitchen, family room and terrace with an outdoor fireplace. The original mosaic tiles on the terraces inspired new finishes such as the floors in the bathrooms. The clients did not want an interior that was slavishly period-perfect so the decoration is a combination of antiques mixed with contemporary and vintage items.

“The act of gathering, laughing, storytelling and refuelling over the dinner table or at the island bench is one we are all fond of.”

There is nothing more wonderful than making and sharing food with family and friends. Well … maybe making and sharing in this petite but perfect kitchen by Melbourne-based Studio Ezra.
