A designer’s own home is always chock-a-block with inspiration. Now imagine it’s the home of two interior designers. This Southwest London 3-bedroom flat is home to sisters Sarah and Caroline Stemp of Sascal Studio. Think palest pink, checkerboard and stripes and a custom work desk for two.

Within the historic centre of a small town of Baix Empordà and just 10 minutes from the beach, we find this wonderful 17th-century townhouse. This three-storey house has been divided into two independent homes, which will give the new owners a lot of flexibility: two families can live there, one family can live there and rent the second home, or use both as a single-family home. The first home on the ground floor, of approximately 100 m², has a living room, kitchen, guest bathroom, two bedrooms with private bathrooms and also a patio area that connects with the rest of the garden. As is usual in these houses, we find an old well and vaulted ceilings. The upper home is romantic and with an aristocratic feel with high ceilings and ceramic floors. On the first floor, we find the kitchen, the living room with a fireplace, the dining room and a large terrace for outdoor dining, as well as two bedrooms with private bathrooms that are accessed by the same terrace. On the second floor, we find a library and a third bedroom with private bathroom with access to another sunny terrace. In the garden we find a sixth bedroom with a private bathroom, reserved for the service staff or for guests, since it is separate from the two homes.
This is everything you could want – lots of preserved architectural details, modern amenities, the prettiest outdoor spaces and even rental income! For sale for €850,000 via Lucas Fox.

This 10,000 square foot Beacon Hill project took three years to complete. Built in 1835, the five-bedroom Greek Revival townhouse had seen grander days. In 2001, a young Boston couple purchased the building from the Unitarian Church’s Beacon Press. Having been converted into a warren of cubicles, all five levels of the interior required gut renovations. The final outcome captured 19th-century European grandeur in a modern setting within Boston’s most historic neighborhood.
A bit more traditional than I typically gravitate towards but that lovely yellow kitchen, cheerful stairwell and so many gorgeous bathrooms left me smitten and I had to share this with you all. Designed by Heidi Pribell.

Run For The Hills husband and wife team Chris Trotman recently renovated a dated Victorian house in West London, which was previously set up as two unmodernised flats. It needed to be formally de-converted back into a family home before Planning could be granted for a side return and three room loft extension. The finished house is now a five-bedroom, three bathroom property. The team gutted the ground floor completely and reconfigured the layout, removing the ‘double’ front living/dining room that many people opt for, instead keeping a small ‘adult’ living room at the front, then a small utility/guest bathroom and then creating a really large open-plan ‘Family Space’ at the rear onto the garden. The house has a stylishly modern feel, with crittal doors throughout the ground floor. But the design also boasts dramatic, oversized decorative covings, flower petal ceiling roses and ‘vintage-feel’ but new herringbone floors, all of which keeps the house feeling warm, inviting and full of period character. The design also features lots of textured limewash paint, giving an overall feeling of vintage, lived-in charm, despite being freshly done.
Vintage mixed with modern, pale colours in the open spaces and darker colours in the smaller rooms make this home the perfect juxtaposition of old and new, dark and light. (Scroll to the end of this page for sources)

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. Sessùn Barcelona by Cobalto Studio.
