The Den at Henley

Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2023 by KiM

This cosy outbuilding will serve as a games room and a space to enjoy outdoor living come rain or shine. Our clients wanted The Den to be used by all generations as a place to escape, relax and have fun; away from day-to-day life. The bar area with hatch windows that swing open on to a decking area complete with a hot tub and outdoor shower and the mezzanine floor hammocks allow for that playful touch. We transformed this one bed annexe into an open plan living space complete with a kitchenette, bar area, living space, bathroom and a mezzanine. We chose a marriage of natural materials, vivid colour and carefully curated vintage furniture in our design for this very special space. A particular love of ours is how the powdery blue, aubergine, and buttery yellow stand out in equal measure on this little kitchen area.
Such a unique colour palette that gives a vitality to this secondary space and beckons guests over from the main house. Another really fun project by Vaughan Design & Development

A colourful period townhouse in West Sussex

Posted on Wed, 4 Oct 2023 by KiM

This charming period property in Midhurst was in urgent need of an overhaul after being a rental for many years. The ground floor felt very cramped and had an awkward layout, whilst upstairs was riddled with damp issues. We completed a full design and build on this property, with a good sized ground floor extension and a total refurbishment. This allowed for an inviting kitchen and dining area which was perfect for our clients’ to entertain and spend time with their family. Carefully considered colour was injected into all the rooms, together with playful fabrics and unique vintage furniture. 
This home is now brimming with personality thanks to the kaleidoscope of colour used throughout. It is tantalizing right from the entryway and invites you inside with open arms. By Vaughan Design & Development.

I typically feature grand homes on Sundays but I ended up on Historiska Hem and found this absolutely charming Villa Björkdalen for sale in Rönninge, Sweden. A former small private school and a vicar’s residence, this adorable home retains much of its original character both interior and exterior but has been modernized for today’s lifestyle. Which in my opinion makes it PERFECT. How much would I love a yellow cottage? SO VERY MUCH.

Nestled in the picturesque Berkshire countryside, this Rectory home has a story to tell. Emma Milne Interiors were entrusted to infuse fresh life into this historic gem. The scope of work included the heart of the home – kitchen, pantry, utility and boot rooms. It was all about balancing modern functionality with period charm. Bold colour, the quirks and original surfaces of this old space, the organic textures. With British Standard Cupboards they crafted a timeless kitchen that marries style and substance. The result? A vibrant, functional gem.

This cute as a button 1904 Victorian house in New Orleans wasn’t always cute. Some apparently hideous renovations in the 80s and 90s and a subsequent fire left things in quite a state. In came Samantha Wetton and Alexandra Neu of Los Angeles–based Lafayette Studio who added some colour, whimsy, vintage, modern and a touch of monastic and religious je ne sais quoi for some spice 🙂 I adore this home – particularly all the curvy elements.

And this is the fabulous carriage house!
