I’ll always have a place in my heart for mid-century homes – all that wood and windows and sloped ceilings. This gem in Los Gatos, California is fabulously retro and so very cool thanks to designer Cathie Hong who created this welcoming home for herself and her family (including 4 children). I particularly love the music/guest room/playroom and that fabulous built-in storage cabinet in the most glorious olive green (Farrow & Ball’s Bancha). Photos: Margaret Austin

I found a feature on this home via Elle Decoration that calls this “English eccentricity meets American maximalism”. It is layer upon layer of a mixed bag of patterns and colours and is so random you can’t help but inspect every inch and fall in love. J’adore!!! Designed by Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay.

Rooted in her love and appreciation for a rich, soulful space, Claire Brody enjoys sourcing an interesting mix of vintage, heirloom, and antique objects for both her personal projects and clients’ homes. Claire’s inventory includes an eclectic mix of origins and ages ranging from the 18th century to the mid 20th century and especially loves a primitive or hand crafted piece. Layering unexpected colors, textures and lines is her secret to achieving one-of-a-kind spaces that feel authentic and evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth.
Really love the vintage vibes of these spaces, and that are paint approach of using colour on all the trim vs painting out the walls. I’ll always be a fan of this, and it’s soooo good if you have a bit of a fear of colour. Photos: Jenna McElroy & James H. Ruiz.

Nestled alongside the riverside in Southwest London, this comprehensive renovation of a Victorian terraced residence exudes tranquillity, elegance, and sophistication. The spatial planning was meticulously crafted with the needs of family life in mind, prioritising the optimisation of natural light and riverside views. This involved strategically removing obstructing walls and thoughtfully designing layouts to seamlessly draw the eye outdoors. Crafted specifically for the space, bespoke furniture intertwines with carefully chosen antique pieces, complemented by layers of soft, ambient lighting and sumptuous fabrics in muted spring hues, creating an atmosphere of timeless luxury. The addition of a newly formed basement floor has significantly enhanced the available space, accommodating a secondary kitchen, family sitting room, gym, wine cellar, and utility rooms.
Designed by Murudé, this home is so serene and the design so thoughtfully executed. Imagine a busy day at work and walking through the front door in the evening to this. *sigh*

I love this home in Sussex sooooo much because of how quirky and random it is and each space has its own vibe. Some light, some dark, some traditional, some contemporary, some colourful, some muted. Designed by Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay.
