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.

Set within a Victorian terrace in North London this family home was reimagined by Laura Stephens with colour, warmth and character at its core. With paint colours already chosen by the client, Stephens introduced bold fabrics, vintage finds and bespoke furniture. Playful pattern mixing, a hallmark of her studio, added energy, from a patterned runner against mosaic tiles to layered rugs and artwork. The result is a colourful, cosy home rich with individuality and charm.

A bit more from Buchanan Studio because I am completely obsessed with the yellow and pink tiled bathroom, and their iconic striped “pillow” chairs and sofas.

This project by Liddicoat & Goldhill involved the renovation of a Grade II listed 18th-century mill in Wiltshire, previously converted into a 3,133 sqft home. Built into a hillside, the four-storey structure was extended with a double-height orangery and terrace to connect the elevated living areas with the garden below. An inverted floor plan placed open-plan living spaces on the bright upper levels, while bedrooms occupy the more secluded lower floors. A carbon steel and oak helical staircase was inserted through the full height of the building, uniting the spaces while respecting the original industrial fabric. The design carefully balances conservation with the introduction of modern Scandinavian interiors. Photos: Michael Sinclair & Will Scott.
