“A nod to the architectural history of this 1925 home came to mind when designing spaces in this home. Preserving original elements and details of the home was a lovely juxtaposition with it’s newly designed kitchen and layers of upholstery. We reconfigured the layout to suit the family’s lifestyle, transforming imposing spaces into the large open plan living and dining room that works comfortably for daily use and entertaining.”

Antique furniture mixed with beautiful yet functional textiles, stone and glass, stripe and gingham. Cosy and casual with a timeless take on family living. Wallaroy Rd by Pheobe Nicol.

Perfectly imperfect, disordered to perfection, expertly curated and delightfully haphazard… this is absolutely wonderful Kensington flat of Swiss decorator Christophe Gollut. Via Cabana Magazine, photos by Emma Lewis.

One of the largest and finest stately homes in England is Knole House, located in the Kent countryside not far from London. It has been inhabited by the Sackville family for over 400 years. It has an incredible 365 rooms, 52 staircases and 7 courtyards. A book about Knole House was published in October with photos by Ashley Hicks and I’m thinking I have to add this one to my collection. This home is magnificent in its grandeur and the beautiful antiques and architectural details throughout. And a room for each day…can you even imagine?!

This 19th century riverfront cottage is filled with antiques and vintage finds but has a casual and livable feel that makes it all the more loveable. And judging by the photos it seems to be easy to switch things up and repurpose rooms which is always a fun undertaking and keeps things fresh. Design consultancy by Susan Burns.

In the historic center of Amelia we offer a perfectly preserved period residence. On the lower floor, mosaics from the Roman era have in fact been discovered and restored, bearing witness to the fact that the Palazzo stands on the foundations of an ancient Domus. Going up one level, you enter the cellars with ceilings covered with barrel vaults, dating back to the Middle Ages. The next two levels are from the Renaissance period and the hall on the main floor with its beautiful frescoes and floors deserves particular mention. The top floor, surmounted by a tower, is from a more modern era.

Why settle for a castle when you can have a palace!!! 16 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and 23,681 sq ft of jaw-dropping architecture. Can you imagine being able to say your home has Roman era tile?!!! I’m dead. Listed @ €2,500,000 via James Edition.
