Kin House is a lovingly restored (by owners Matt and Gaby Harvey and interior-design studio Barlow & Barlow) 1680 Georgian manor in the Wiltshire countryside, open for private parties, retreats, high times or down time. It has a shell-encrusted grotto, 12 gloriously designed bedrooms and would be an incredible venue for a wedding or an epic party. What a beauty!

Some colour and pattern is what London & Norfolk based Emma Deterding of Kelling Designs is all about, whether it be a city, country or manor home. A bit traditional and classic, with some elegance and practicality to round out the spaces. Lovely.

Located in the bastide town of Castillonnès, on the border of the Dordogne, this grand building was designed by Victor Louis-famed for the Opera House in Bordeaux. The current owners have sensitively and sympathetically restored the house under the supervision of batiments de France. In the lower ground floor, the medieval fortifications can still be seen; and in the floor below there is an open water source. The ground floor comprises an imposing entrance hall, 4 salons and a grand salon, opening to a terrace with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. and a large kitchen. The first floor comprises five en suite bedrooms, accessed by two staircases. The east wing could provide two further rooms/apartments. There is a separate self contained apartment in the lower ground floor with its own access.
I think I’m in love! That courtyard and U shaped layout is fantastic. Also nice to see a lovely interior. I would be quite happy to live with it just as it is (at least for some time). For sale (and photos) via Leggett Immobilier and Le Figaro Properties.

This bijoux 2 bedroom flat in the heart of Victoria is used as a pied-a-terre by its owners who live outside of London. Set in a beautiful turn of the century apartment block, the basement flat was bursting with period features – it was simply tired, unloved and in need of a complete refresh. The brief was simple – inject colour, charm and warmth and turn this functional flat into an inviting home from home – whilst being respectful of the history and grandeur of the building. First step was to look at the layout, remove unnecessary stud walls and open up the (albeit tiny) entrance hall and kitchen. We then added colour and texture through selecting rich and sumptuous fabrics – and adding brass accents and reclaimed fixtures to give the flat an authentic, lived in feel. Antique, vintage and modern furniture sit alongside each other, with a vibrant blue/green colour thread weaving coherently throughout each room.
Another incredibly charming and functional project by Brooke Copp-Barton.

Hands up who is tired of beige-on-beige monochrome rooms? Hands up who craves colour and fun? Justine Guillermou of Rainbow Shaker is a French interior designer who recently moved to the UK. Her work is colourful and playful incorporating raw and industrial materials like wood, metal and construction materials like OSB. She shared one of her recent projects Bow Brook, an apartment in a converted schoolhouse. What a transformation! Tired, nondescript spaces are now vibrant and fun.
