This early-18th-century château near Paris required almost complete redecoration. More recent alterations were reversed and a new kitchen installed, using traditional tiles from the region and featuring a classic chequerboard floor. A suite of existing furniture was reupholstered, and all new additions to the decoration were chosen to blend in seamlessly. Traditional fabrics in soft, timeless colours – many from 18th-century archive documents – were selected to complement the classic interiors.

This is why I admire interior designers so much. Their attention to detail is something I can barely wrap my brain around. To come up with so many colour combinations and patterns and architectural details in every single room….blows my mind. This home by Steven Gambrel again has me in complete awe of all of these details in every square inch.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Henne by Brahman Perera.
The previous owners of this elegant house had prioritised style over practicality. Our task was to make this a home that works for every member of the family. On the ground floor, both reception rooms have been painted in soft, neutral shades accented by bold, colour-blocked joinery. During the day, the rooms provide a comfortable, calm space to work or relax. Come the evening, the floor-to-ceiling curtains are drawn and the rooms become a cocooning space for reading or entertaining. A joyous playroom has been created in the basement. On the upper floors, the master bedroom and dressing room is now a soft, enveloping grown-up space, whilst the children’s rooms have been wrapped in lively patterns and furnished with a combination of contemporary and antique furniture.
