This three storey Victorian terrace house in Fulham’s Parsons Green district has been carefully redesigned and redecorated by the Sims Hilditch team to create a feeling of a family home with warmth and character, a city residence full of country charm.

Refined yet rustic. Elegant and  extraordinary. Let’s throw in the words luxe, historical revival, desert oasis and South West style. Stone and terracotta tile, timber beams and whitest of white render, lush green gardens and stylish outdoor living.  A piece of paradise in Arizona’s Paradise Valley by Scottsdale-based Oz Architects.

Take a traditional style home. Add a liberal dose of colour and pattern. Don’t forget it should be light, bright and lively and definitely have a youthful exuberance. The result? A wonderful family home, bright, fab and fun. Hancock Park house by Jennifer Culp of JC Studio.

“We create spaces that truly reflect and perfectly fit the people who use them; making comfortable and atmospheric spaces that speak from the heart, to the heart.”

From rabbit warren like student accommodation to comfortable family home all within a heritage listed five-storey Georgian townhouse with 4 metre ceilings.  A daunting but exciting design challenge for Harding and Read. How to create a warm inviting home yet restore or replace original features? Here’s how.

It is utterly simple, humble almost, but this scullery in British kitchen designer deVOL‘s Millhouse showroom is the epitome of everyday luxury to me. The luxury of good design, of having the space dedicated to elevation of the domestic humdrum of cleaning up. We may all dream of a butler’s pantry to prep and preen and store but perhaps I wouldn’t hate the dishwashing so much if I had a little scullery of my own (except I’d have a door on every entrance to hide the mess if I didn’t quite get round to the pots and pans).
