I continue to dream of stately manors and castles in the countryside (far away from the frigid winters and uninspiring architecture of Canada I find so soul-crushing). This one built in the 18th century in Suffolk is home to interior designer Kate Earle of Todhunter Earle, and is full of character and history evident with the addition of a plethora of antiques and textiles. What a beauty.

Such a wonderful colour palette and overall youthful and invigorating vibes in this London townhouse designed by Riona Dundas. I am taking note of the marble bathtub surround in the pink bathroom – so pretty! (Architecture: A&A Architects; Photography: Simon Brown)

Notting Hill based design firm Barlow & Barlow embraced colour in this project for a fashion stylist who appears to take family life pretty seriously. 😉 This home has such a great energy for children to grow up in and is so lively and whimsical. I’d take this over stuffy and over-done any day.

Oh the drama! Oh the theatre! Oh the inspiration! What else would you expect from Lyon-based designer Claude Cartier? A master of colour, texture and pattern his work may divide opinions but it is always on the cutting edge of design.

This is as about as British as it gets. Christopher Hodsoll has a unique ability to create cosy and comfortable spaces out of grand period rooms. As well as being adept at making a modern interior look as if it had been built up over years by a collector. Using his cabinet-of-curiosities style to juxtapose boldly luxurious antiques alongside more contemporary items to create opulent, yet relaxed living environments, he recognises that interior decorating sometimes means creating an atmosphere rather than a particular look.
