A manor house set within the storied landscape of the Douro Valley, where time seems to stand still and serenity prevails. This project by Lisbon-based interior design & architecture firm L’Élephant thoughtfully brings together a curated selection of pieces, merging traditional and classic elements. Each room unfolds like a narrative, rich with character. The interiors reveal themselves gradually, filled with intricate details and deliberate choices that pay homage to the past while embracing the present. Exquisite!!!

Vin Papillon, a popular restaurant on Rue Notre-Dame in Montreal’s Little Burgundy district, was a real pleasure to design. This project invited us to explore colours and textures in a new way. Every choice was made with the intention to create a unique ambience. The unusual colour palette is a nod to the restaurant’s tasty and refreshing menu. Our aim was to pay tribute to the restaurant by evolving the decor while preserving its unpretentious, family-friendly atmosphere.
Anytime I am in Montréal it’s usually to hit up the flea market, and/or get a tattoo and then we come home. Next time I’m seriously thinking about trying to get a reservation here. It’s soooo pretty!

Designer Ashley Montgomery (one of my all-time favourites) created a dreamy retreat for herself and her children in Barrie, Ontario by joining two 1800s cabins and then adding her magic touch to every nook and cranny. Pretty pale yellow, soft and moody neutrals, the comfiest sofa, charming wallpapers and lots of antiques. With the rustic elements like the exposed logs and low ceilings this is absolutely gorgeous and so incredible cozy and inviting. Photos: Lauren Miller.

This West London Edwardian home was sensitively renovated, which is evident as soon as you walk through the front door – that floor!!! It is top to bottom charming as h*ll, filled with bold colour choices and personal treasures for an eclectic mix. Character aplenty. Designed by Howark.

Most people don’t understand that filling small spaces with normal or even large scale furniture, patterns and colours will make them appear larger. One of my design idols, Carlos Garcia, created such a wonderful, whimsical vibe in this 19th century Arts & Crafts flat in London. Edward Bulmer’s ‘Persian’ yellow living room walls, kitchen walls Blackthorn’ wallpaper by Morris & Co and cabinets in ‘Chanterelle’ by Fenwick & Tilbrook, Carlos’ ‘Hibiscus’ saffron wallpaper and fabric.…it’s just all kinds of fabulous coming together to create the sweetest little home.
