Ashley Montgomery does it again with yet another project of perfection, where I would not change a single thing. On The Ravine is a blend of neutrals and wood and textures and earthiness and a touch of grandeur. So easy on the eyes. I’d walk through that front door and immediately let out a deep breath and sigh. Photos: Lauren Miller.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.

We worked closely along side the client and architect Ptolemy Dean for two years on this historical renovation and extension project. A complete renovation of a 15th Century Manor House set in the most beautiful countryside was not without it’s challenges. There were only a few flat walls in the extension and natural materials were used throughout. The result was truly magnificent and a triumphant and happy conglomeration of many passionate people.
This is about as British as it gets and I am completely head over heels for this home. It is like a giant hug. So many layers and textures and extremely warm and inviting. Another project by the talented Sarah Vanrenen. (Read more about it here).

Heidi Caillier never disappoints and is eager to embrace the history of a home and leave things like beautiful dark millwork untouched. And this is why I am her biggest fan. Along with her signature addition of slightly muted but always punchy colours and patterns strewn throughout this home gives off the coziest, effortlessly stylish, a wee bit European and timeless vibes.

A strong, masculine scheme to match the bones of this fabulous 70s home. Brown reigns supreme as does the layering of textures and natural materials. It’s about monumental stone, soaring ceilings of timber, reflections off polished concrete floors and grass paper walls that beg you to stroke them. Retrolicious furniture completes the picture.
