“A colourful, inspirational, and deeply personal family home set over four floors in a Notting Hill terrace for a lovely and creative young family. The traditional country house vernacular has been toughened up and given a little edge with an explosion of colour, pattern and a scattering of contemporary furniture and fittings.”

In the heart of every space lies its soul, a whisper of history, a resonance of the present, and an echo of what could be. At The Flair Interiors, we embark on a journey that transcends the conventional, embracing the essence of genius loci, celebrating patina, dancing with grandeur, and infusing a decadent soul into every creation.
Rome based designer Teodora Diana Montanaro was raised by a Lebanese-Romanian art historian mother and a Swedish-English antiques art dealer father and grew up around art, antiques, literature and historical spaces. And now lives and works in one of the most beautifully historic cities in the world. It’s no wonder she’s got such a keen eye and a love for all things old and original.

This handsome Grade II*-listed home sits in the middle of the picturesque National Trust-managed Antony Estate, amid the rural countryside of the Devon/Cornwall border. The house was originally built as a school in 1847. It was rebuilt as a vicarage before being remodelled by architect William White, who, in 1849, divided it into a Gothic-style residence. It unfolds over 6,000 sq ft, with six bedrooms, a series of striking living areas and additional outbuildings. The estate’s striking church sits at the foot of the house’s pretty gardens, which encompass terraced areas well-positioned for the sun and an outdoor heated pool. In recent years, the house has been thoughtfully renovated and restored. A plethora of original features have been preserved, including the staircase with its quatrefoil carvings, substantial fireplaces with pointed arch detailing, and a screen in the study set on marble columns.
This home’s details (both exterior and interior) are exquisite! Most of the interior is unfortunate and not doing the home any favours but I can easily imagine the fun I would have redecorating this. And of course, would keep it mostly traditional with some of my quirky MCM and modern touches. For sale via Inigo.

Painted white throughout by the previous owner, this apartment had been stripped of all of its original features. The brief was to redesign the entire apartment, including a new kitchen, to create a practical family space that felt comfortable, rich and with character. Guided by the building’s architecture, Max embellished the drawing room with sixteenth-century style panelling, dark painted floorboards and a corner chimney piece. The client was also keen to inject warmth and colour, which was achieved by layering richly coloured paint and wallpaper with sumptuous fabrics and a mix of antique and Max Rollitt Bespoke furniture.
This apartment designed by Max Rollitt has just the right amount of elegance and comfort and country charm. The colours in the kitchen are so delicious I would be quite happy spending hours in there cooking. Photos: Simon Brown.
