This is pretty close to English-style perfection for me. I’d throw in a bit more colour and a bit more pattern but otherwise I really love everything these ladies do.

This apartment in Las Vegas goes against everything you think of when you think “modern minimalism”. For starters there is COLOUR. I was fully expecting this to be an all white apartment. Which would have been BLEH. And I get it when you collect art that you need a neutral backdrop to showcase it. But here designer Daniella Villamil used a pale blue – Farrow & Ball’s Borrowed Light. Such a pretty alternative to white! And a green kitchen – YESSSSS!!! (It is Benjamin Moore’s Forest Green). There is also a level of comfort thanks to a big squishy sectional sofa, a shaggy rug, lime washed bedroom walls, wallpaper and patterned curtains. Photo: Amy Bartlam.

(Google Translate) In Hälsingland, where the Ljusnan river winds its way through the landscape, lies this fantastic property – an old trading house from 1886 in central Arbrå. Completely renovated in collaboration with a conservator with, among other things, hand-printed tapestries throughout the house, cardboard stretched ceilings, of which the hall has a beautiful ceiling painting. The wallpapers are reprints of models from the early years of the house, mostly found in the lowest layers of wallpaper. Between 1890 and 1980, the area’s well-known shoe store was located on the ground floor and it is still the same with a grocery counter and safe. 
Taking a quick break from château hunting to bring you this wonderful historic home in Sweden. It is a stunner inside and out and I looooooove that the owners tried to keep it as original as possible when they renovated after a fire in 2017. All of those wallpapers…..it really brings this home to life. For sale via Historiska Hem.

Occupying a prominent corner plot in Saratoga Springs, Upstate New York, this handsome Victorian villa operated as a six-bedroom bed and breakfast when our clients took it on. Our brief was to transform a series of bland, lifeless rooms into a holiday home for a young family with a passion for horse racing and entertaining. Guided by the client’s admiration for British contemporary craft and bold, richly layered interiors, we have focussed on creating a series of impactful rooms that delight the eye and encourage conversation and conviviality.
As I admire each of the rooms in this home, it must feel like living in a meadow of wildflowers. This is soooooo pretty! Designed by Sarah Brown.

This project began in a large North London home where the client quite suddenly found the need to downsize. The brief for the new home was to create a complete sanctuary and a sense of living with a beautiful jewel box with a cohesive scheme and sense of wellbeing throughout the space. We designed a whimsical and theatrical guest room for grandchildren and friends to enjoy, inspired by our client’s travels to India. The hallway was given its own unique identity with vertical stripes and a luxurious velvet curtain. The bathroom was designed to be restful and spa-like but we added a unique art deco painted bath and re–purposed our client’s gilded overmantel mirror to bounce light around the room. The reception space had to be meticulously designed to house a dining, kitchen and living area. As the kitchen was within the living area we wanted it to be fully disguised as bespoke furniture clad with Gustavian architectural detailing and painted in a deep chocolate gloss. Finally, an existing outdoor office space was interior designed to feel like an extension of the house, creating a warm and enticing place to work at the bottom of the garden.
I love this home. It is unique and playful, colourful and warm, with a sense of a well-travelled past. Designed by Laura Stephens. Photos: Paul Massey.
