Sure, we want to get cosy at this time of year, but we want to do it in style (get out of that onesie), so we’re mixing wintry, textured whites with flashes of silver for a snuggly-yet-luxe look. the a/w 2016 catwalk was adrift with paleness and hints of glamour – carolina Herrera’s models floated along in fur combined with shimmering organza, while michael kors’ were sparkling with sequins layered under thick, fluffy coats. A blizzard’s hit the home too, with moooi’s Boutique sophy sofa literally covered in snowflakes and tord Boontje’s lux orbit lantern for Atelier swarovski bedecked in ice-like shards of glistening crystal. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!…

once dubbed, ‘the doyennes of the London terrace house’, Bunny Turner and Emma Pocock’s love of colour, pattern and cosy luxury has seen them grow from a two-woman band, working from Emma’s kitchen table in 2007, to a powerhouse in interior design – with offices in London and Geneva. They have redesigned homes in the UK and Europe, plus created an award-winning penthouse show apartment for developers Banda in a converted Victorian bakery in southwest London.

Background tax and style are two words rarely uttered in the same breath at Livingetc. However, they’re inextricably linked in the story of the bay window. until the mid-19th century, hefty surcharges on glass combined with the cost of brick prevented developers from wasting their precious budget on anything more extravagant than the flat frontages so adored by the georgians. But a repeal of the law meant architects could knock themselves out with a new idea that added a modicum of extra floor space and oodles more light to a project. and so a trend was born… Whether square or, more commonly, ‘canted’, the bay became a staple of our streets. from the humblest Victorian terrace to the grandest mansion, it was rare for any home built up to the…

Designer Josiah wedgwood, 1774. Details Porcelain christmas tree decorations, £25 each, wedgwood. Background A true english classic, wedgwood Jasperware has been a star player in British dining rooms since visionary master potter Josiah wedgwood introduced it to society in 1774. crafted in his independent staffordshire pottery from the finest unglazed vitreous stoneware and graced with exquisite classical and contemporary reliefs, each creation feels like a luxury piece of history. Although there are many shades in the wedgwood colour wheel, from cream Queen’s ware to Black Basalt, it is the delicate light blue and white Jasper design that is most synonymous with the brand. in fact, ‘wedgwood Blue’ is every bit as famous and recognisable as America’s ‘tiffany Blue’. today, wedgwood remains true to Josiah’s exacting standards, with many of its…

No wonder, then, that this period gem in a quiet south London conservation area, with mature garden and original features, set pulses racing. ‘As soon as I walked in, I thought, “This is the house!”’ says Nick. ‘I loved how it was set out and immediately saw how we…
