A cozy countryside retreat

Posted on Mon, 8 Jan 2024 by KiM

A cosy, Grade II Listed, country bolthole – full of charm, warmth and character. A carefully curated blend of old and new was used to create the feeling of a home which has organically evolved over time in a magical, bucolic setting.

Whoever said spaces need to flow and coordinate from one room to the next, and whoever said you can have too much pattern should stop talking and check out this gorgeous Kensington home designed by Studio QD (Jena Quinn and Lucy Derbyshire) and Nicky Haslam. Should you even wrap the wallpaper around the columns? Yes, you should. Should you also add mirrors to frame a doorway? Yes, you should.

A Toluca Lake home by Jenn Feldman

I spotted this Los Angeles home in Jenn Feldman‘s portfolio and had to share. This is a wonderful example of adding some colour and pattern to some of the easiest spaces that can handle an injection of drama without being overwhelming (like dining rooms and powder rooms). That wallpaper in the dining room is gorgeous. I would have loved to see the ceiling painted out too but that’s just how I roll. Photos: Amy Bartlam

Sober and elegant, the “Hôtel Dorléans” is one of Valognes’ emblematic monuments. Its construction dates back to the town’s golden age, that of the 18th century, which earned it the nickname of “Little Norman Versailles”. Behind the listed stone facade, the vestibule astonishes visitors because of its size. The rest of the visit is steeped in the history of the premises, including the meticulously restored decors. The spiral stairway, providing a link between the different floors, is a magnificent work of art. The garden, also listed, is a harmonious combination of various species laid out under the protection of a majestic palm laurel tree.
