Located in the heart of the picturesque historic centre of Olot, this majestic three-storey manor house evokes the elegance and charm of the early 20th century. With a total built area of 702 square metres and situated on a plot of 985 square metres, this property offers a perfect blend of history and modernity. Original architectural elements, carefully preserved, such as ornamental mouldings, mosaic floors, and guillotine windows, add character and authenticity to every corner. A total of 18 rooms and 4 complete bathrooms spread across its various levels. Additionally, this property boasts an extensive garden and orchard.
A home so full of character and history and such beautiful details I had to share despite it being unfurnished. Incredible opportunity to have so much space and be right in the heart of the city (pros and cons to that mind you). For sale for €750,000 via Lucas Fox.

A bucolic country period property in need of some serious attention, which over a period of two years was sensitively and comprehensively renovated. Spaces were reconfigured to suit this modern and dynamic family, with layered interiors creating a sense of fun and sophistication throughout.
I love this home so much. It’s playful and colourful without being too bold and the colours (especially that yellow in the boot room – ‘Torino’ by Argile) and the patterns in the wallpapers are beautiful. Designed by Studio Peake. Photos: Alexander James.

Is it because it rains alot in the UK that designers seem to have a boatload of fun with colours when designing a home – to combat the gloominess of what’s going on outside? I don’t know what their deal is but they should keep it coming because I am in awe of their willingness to go all out in just about every room. Hats off to Studio Holland for bringing in all sorts of wonderful colours in this full renovation of a large family country house in Sussex.

A four-storey townhouse in Dalston re-imagined and transformed into a bold, colourful and bohemian sanctuary. The existing house was divided into two dwellings, a small flat with fronts steps leading down on the lower ground floor and a family maisonette on the upper three floors, accessed up a flight of external stairs. The brief was to combine the two separate dwellings into one home and restore the grand townhouse to its former glory. Zoe and Benedict wanted to change the basement flat into the main kitchen and living space, so that it could open onto the generous garden. They also wanted to keep the original through-lounge on the upper floor as well as providing a main bedroom with en-suite, a family bathroom, and further rooms to be used as bedrooms and study space but able to adapt over time. Early discussions for the new construction elements of the project kept returning to mid-century Los Angeles style and we liked the idea of entering the house on a Brooklyn feel and switching from East Coast to West Coast to discover a brightly lit, mid-century Californian style living space inside.
This renovated home (another one by Bradley Van Der Straeten) is packed with really moody colours and really has such a wonderful energy about it. A very happy place to be.

Warmth and texture abound in our Lake Harriet Historic home. An earthy palette complements the historic architecture found in the refinished oak flooring and a bright chef’s kitchen.
Another beauty with attention to detail that has me swooning by Yond Interiors. A classic kitchen that would stand the test of time, and its simplicity and functionality are perfection. Also adore the accent colours used throughout – dramatic and enveloping. Builder: Mark Williams Custom Homes; Architect: KA Designs; Photos: Taylor Hall O’Brien.
