Nestled in tranquil woodland this Henley cottage has been sensitively reimagined and restored by Vaughan to honour its heritage while embracing modern comfort. Inspired by the surrounding British countryside, the interiors celebrate original features, painstakingly preserved and reimagined with a light, playful touch. Natural materials and a soft palette enhance the cottage’s warmth and charm, creating a timeless yet evolving home. Though thoroughly updated, it remains deeply rooted in its setting, a peaceful retreat for both the rhythm of daily life and the quiet of the weekend

























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. Acqua di Parma, Saint-Tropez by Dorothée Meilichzon of CHZON.












We reimagined the layouts of the first, second, and third floors of this early Victorian terraced home, on a charming tree-lined street in Maida Vale. Our brief was to honour the building’s historic character, restoring original mouldings and architectural details while thoughtfully incorporating natural and reclaimed materials throughout. We re-designed the kitchen with a classical sensibility— to feel timeless, brighter, and more open than the small space belies!
Antiques, bit of colour and some graphic patterns (that paper on the bathroom walls is rice paper printed by hand in the batik method) blend the old with the new and make this a really fun home. And I am obsessed with this kitchen! Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.
















This vibrant family home in the French countryside, just outside Paris, was completely transformed by Sean Symington over an 18-month renovation. Working closely with a young family who relocated from London, the project reimagined the interiors while respecting the home’s original architecture. Grand proportions and symmetry provided the perfect canvas for layering bold colour, texture, and pattern. An eclectic art collection informed much of the design direction, inspiring a personal, expressive aesthetic. Bespoke joinery, antique finds, and custom upholstery bring warmth and individuality to this richly detailed and welcoming home.













































This 1901 Hoboken, New Jersey brownstone needed a revamp and designer Hollie Velten was up for the challenge. The homeowners desired a thoughtful fusion of function and feeling. More and more designers are taking the old vs new approach to older homes and this version is a perfect harmonious blend of both. Cozy with lots of personality. Photos: Thomas Leonczik.
