This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.
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. Cucina Regina by Tom Mark Henry.

This 1901 Hoboken, New Jersey brownstone needed a revamp and designer Hollie Velten was up for the challenge. The homeowners desired a thoughtful fusion of function and feeling. More and more designers are taking the old vs new approach to older homes and this version is a perfect harmonious blend of both. Cozy with lots of personality. Photos: Thomas Leonczik.

Set within a crescent of grand Victorian villas, this five-bedroom London home has been in the same family for generations. Sims Hilditch transformed the interiors for a young family, introducing colour, pattern, and softness while preserving its historic charm. Existing furniture was refreshed, original joinery restored, and new architectural flow created. Highlights include a rhubarb-red kitchen island, reupholstered heirloom pieces, layered patterns, and a reconfigured principal suite. Throughout, playful yet elegant touches bring warmth and character, blending tradition with a relaxed, modern sensibility.
