look never change – there has to be provision for outdoor clothes, muddy boots and soggy dogs – there is plenty of opportunity to give it a pared-back contemporary makeover with comfort at its heart. In our inviting schemes on page 61, timeless designs and fabrics rub shoulders with more unusual pieces of modern furniture, lighting, artwork and accessories, all complemented by unexpected colours and industrial touches. If you love this playful take on a classic look, you can find further inspiration on page 116, where Atalanta and John Keirle’s wonderful conversion offers a colourful and sophisticated interpretation of the rustic barn. Elsewhere, our homes run the gamut from urban sophistication, page 97, to an elegant spin on safari-lodge style, page 51, so whatever your personal interiors passion I hope…

Sultan’s Garden…

“I persuaded Mark to climb onto the roof of our gallery and said: ‘This is our new home’.” Sometimes the solution to a problem is right under your nose. For Christine and Mark Read, it was above their head. Christine says: “We used to live in a beautiful property complete with tennis courts and a swimming pool, in the leafy suburb of Westcliff, but with our daughters in their twenties and not going to live with us forever, we realised it was becoming too large for us. We had been looking for a new home and nothing had really caught our eye, but then I had a crazy idea. One evening, I persuaded Mark to climb up onto the roof of the art gallery we own in…

“Environment is very important to me. I’d rather have nothing than things I don’t like.” Stepping into this Victorian terraced house in a pretty south London street, it is immediately obvious that owner Jane Peters has a thing for green. As you enter, a vivid shock of the colour on the stair runner sits in harmony with the view to the verdant garden beyond. “I love green. When we lived in New York, I painted the walls of our apartment in an acid shade. I could tell my American friends were thinking, ‘Uh-oh, eccentric English woman,’ but I thought they looked great.” Where does this enthusiasm for decorative derring-do spring from? “I’ve always been interested in art. Also, living abroad means you see lots of inspiring things,” says Jane. “Environment…

On a mission to decide where to put down roots, childhood connections brought Atalanta and Julian Keirle back to Norfolk in 2011. The couple are both seasoned travellers: Atalanta lived in Spain for three years, while Julian, now an international hotel consultant, has spent much of his life abroad. Over four years, they rented properties in different Norfolk villages. “Our final rental was a barn,” Atalanta says. “We loved the space so much that the seed was sown.” When they viewed this property, for sale in a favoured village, they knew straight away that it was a place where they could happily live and see their daughters grow up. Set around a courtyard, the barn had an impressive layout but the interior was dark and, as Atalanta describes it, unloved.…

Can you describe the space? This is a guest bedroom in a classic Georgian townhouse in south London. The property had been left in a state of disrepair and we spent a number of years faithfully restoring it. Although this room isn’t large, it has good proportions, lovely light and leafy views across a park. It is primarily used by the client’s parents, so our brief was to create a tranquil space that they could enjoy while visiting. What inspired the scheme? The client collects interesting objects, such as the Chinese Han dynasty lidded jar, which dates back to the first or second century BC, and stands elegantly on the black lacquered chest of drawers. This piece inspired us to source a Chinese toile design wallpaper in a pale stone…

Can you tell us about your background and training? Growing up in London, I attended a Rudolf Steiner School and that is where my interest in pottery began. Upon finishing my exams, I looked at ceramics degree courses throughout the UK but saw nothing that covered the core skills. I obtained a place on the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland’s Ceramics Skills and Design Training course before undertaking a two-year apprenticeship with the renowned potter Lisa Hammond at Maze Hill Pottery in Greenwich. What is it about ceramics that you love? It’s an infinitely diverse craft and the range of what can be created never ceases to astound me. From the making itself to the glazing and firing, no two people do it in exactly the same way. I…

Subtly toned chinoiserie curtains and an antique rug define this seating corner, which features a mix of textural fabrics including velvet, linen and hessian, creating an elegant living space with timeless allure. Here, country style gets a pared-back contemporary twist. Essential ingredients, such as blue and white crockery (above) and a crisp floral print (right), are paired with metal lighting for an industrial edge. Exuberant patterns and rich colours are enthusiastically embraced, bringing a wonderfully cosseting feel to this country house bedroom. Modern art and a simple bed frame prevent the overall effect from feeling overpowering. Muted walls ensure the turquoise bath makes a strong statement, with a fine black line offering a modern take on the traditional dado rail.…

“The ideal Thameside apartment should have unobstructed views, an excellent concierge service and a decent-sized terrace,” says Prof. Stefan Allesch-Taylor who, when searching for a new home, found all of this in London’s Battersea. The situation is made better still by the fact that the building, designed by architect Richard Rogers, is not densely packed with apartments, meaning the rooms offer plenty of space to breathe and allow for a free hand with decorating, which was done for Stefan by interior designer Jane Churchill. The pair share their memories of creating this luxurious and stylish home. What made you decide to try apartment-style living? SA I have often joked that many of the London homes I viewed that fell within my price range, in the areas I prefer, were like…

A IS FOR ASTERS Commonly known as Michaelmas daisies, these pretty flowers bloom from summer through autumn, bringing much-needed colour at this time of year. Choose varieties from the short and stout Aster amellus to tall elegant plants such as A. turbinellus. You will also find asters under the name Symphyotrichum. B IS FOR BULBS Spring-flowering bulbs, such as daffodils and tulips, are essential for early seasonal colour, as most perennials will only just be pushing through the soil at this time. Plant bulbs in autumn for a spectacular display. C IS FOR COLOUR Choose colours carefully when designing your floral scheme. A colour wheel, which you will find online, will help. Combining adjoining colours on the wheel, such as pink, purple and blue, creates a calming effect, while…

Can you describe the project? This bathroom forms part of the main bedroom suite in our own home, a listed Georgian hall in Northumberland. The suite takes up the full south-facing elevation on the first floor, so it is very spacious, with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The bathroom was designed to be indulgent and luxurious, a peaceful place to relax. How did you devise the layout? People often think that ample space makes it easy to plan a room, but it can be much more difficult. No one wants to feel that they are rattling around in a cavernous, cold room, especially in a bathroom, which needs to be cosy and inviting, as well as practical with everything in easy reach. Here, I used changes in level to…

“Children aged between six and 13 need nine to 11 hours’ sleep on average a night. Buy a good mattress – and consider blackout blinds, especially for summer, so they have the best possible sleep.”DAVE GIBSON , sleep expert, Warren Evans, 020 7693 8988, warrenevans.com. “It’s always best to use a non-toxic antibacterial paint for decorating a child’s bedroom.”MARK GARDNER , founder, Little Knights, 01604 781009, little-knights.co.uk. “Children’s fabrics can be used on accessories such as lampshades for a playful feel. Colourful cushions and beanbags are great for cosy reading corners.”LUCINDA CROFT , Dragons of Walton Street, 020 3544 2000, dragonsofwaltonstreet.com.…

FREESTANDING DESIGNS This type of bed is easy to move and gives the flexibility to rearrange a room. Traditional wrought-iron beds are a good investment that will last for years, needing only the replacement of the mattress every eight years or so. However, they are limited when it comes to sleepovers and storage. For a more multipurpose option, look for a single bed with a trundle underneath or integrated storage drawers for clothes or toys. Some manufacturers offer kits that convert their standard junior beds to full-sized ones. “This helps with otherwise expensive transition periods,” says Amanda Short, founder of Nubie, 01825 724160, nubie.co.uk. BUILT-IN OPTIONS There are three scenarios in which built-in beds make sense: in small rooms where floor space is tight, when you need to have multiple…

WHICH FLOORING WILL WORK IN MY ART ROOM? I’ve begun to transform a bedroom into an art room. Can you give me advice on the most suitable flooring? SC, Campbeltown, Argyll. I suggest you choose a flooring that has subtle patterning to conceal the inevitable splatters and marks, but not enough to distract you from your work. None fits this brief better than Forbo’s Marmoleum, a practical linoleum flooring that is soft, warm and quiet underfoot, highly durable, very easy to clean and even anti-bacterial. Marmoleum Solid, in 32 colours, has a more discreet marbled effect than Marmoleum Marbled, which is available in 90 colourways; perhaps the most appropriate for your purposes is Painter’s Palette 3423, featuring rich tones of copper, grey and gold. Forbo, 0800 093 5258, forbo.com, is…

Adding hotels to the long list of family ventures, L’Hôtel Marrakech is the first luxury bolthole by former fashion designer Jasper Conran. Tucked away behind a studded fortress door, the converted palace radiates relaxed elegance with simple white-washed walls and high zouac ceilings in the five individually designed suites. Each features antique furniture, four-poster beds and artworks from Jasper’s own collection. Guests arrive in the central courtyard garden among banana and lemon trees, while the roof terrace has magnificent views of the Atlas Mountains.

RENOVATE INNOVATE: RECLAIMED AND UPCYCLED HOMES by Antonia Edwards (£35, Prestel) focuses on extraordinary homes with a sustainable angle, from rescued derelict buildings to structures made entirely from recycled materials. Highlights include an art studio in Thailand made from driftwood and a Slovenian barn transformed into a light-filled holiday home. THE NEW OLD HOUSE by Marc Kristal (£40, Abrams) showcases 18 historic homes that have been cleverly reinvented with contemporary additions. Showcasing everything from a converted mill cottage in Norfolk to a modernised warehouse in Alabama, it is also packed with inspirational ways of adding space to an old property. THE JAPANESE HOUSE REINVENTED by Philip jodidio (£24.95, Thames & Hudson) is a useful read for anyone pondering how to transform a small space. With their dense urban environment, Japanese…

At the foot of the Mourne Mountains in County Down sits an unassuming workshop originally conceived by Norwegian textile designer Gerd Hay-Edie. Nurtured by her daughter Karen and subsequently her grandson Mario Sierra, Mourne Textiles remains a family-run business, famed for its collaborations with designers including Terence Conran and Robin Day. Original techniques are still in use to produce fabrics inspired by the dramatic landscape as well as Gerd’s archives. “For as long as I can remember, looms have been part of my life. When I was seven, we went to Rostrevor at the foot of the mountains to live with my grandmother and I spent hours playing in her workshop. My mother taught me how to weave using scraps of tweed and coloured yarns and later, when I was…

Redesigning a garden can be as arduous as renovating a house, so few people have the courage to take on both at the same time. However, architects, landscape designers and builders will generally agree that working together can help to reduce the duration of the project, upheaval and even costs. For Julie Fylingdale, the decision to create more space in her London home proved to be the perfect opportunity to landscape the garden, too, with a layout that would suit the needs of her growing family. “We wanted to add an extension but realised that our garden would be ruined in the process,” she says, “so it made sense to tackle both ventures at once.” However, as managing the project was incompatible with a busy life, Julia called in professional…

“Everything was meticulously positioned with ease of use and multiple functions in mind.” Can you describe the project? This is the third kitchen we have created for these clients, so the pressure not to disappoint was high. The retired couple bought this late-Victorian property in the Cotswolds as a family-friendly country retreat, big enough for their grown-up children and grandchildren to converge. The existing kitchen was good quality but too modern and bland. However, the space had great potential – it is 15 metres long, including the dining area, and has a very generous walk-in pantry. Which features did the clients request? The Aga was essential. The couple came up with the idea for the display niches in the chimney breast to house some favourite china, and it worked out…

Can you describe the project? This is the living room of an early 19th-century, Grade II-listed house in south London. We originally decorated it in 2006 and, at the time, the clients wanted quite a formal feel. Now that they have a young family, they were keen to create a more relaxed, practical room that could also double as a space for entertaining. Did the room pose any challenges? It is quite narrow, so we had to be selective in the choice of furniture. As the clients wanted the room to comfortably seat eight, we opted for a bespoke corner sofa. I’m a big fan of this shape, as it can accommodate a lot of people and is perfect for lounging with children. We chose a version with raised, tapered…

 What was the brief for this garden? “To produce this natural effect, I chose a small number of species and a reduced colour palette, focusing on shades of pink and white.” We had designed and built trade-stand gardens for a number of years for glasshouse specialist Hartley Botanic so it was natural for our teams to work together again last year to create a Main Avenue garden at Chelsea. The show garden had to present the company’s bespoke range of glasshouses and celebrate its British engineering skills but, apart from that, former managing director Johnny Mobasher’s brief was very open. What inspired your design solution? My challenge was to devise a garden that would reflect Hartley Botanic’s creativity, craftsmanship and British heritage. I decided to design a traditional walled garden,…

• In children’s bedrooms that double as playrooms and homework spaces, use pull-out desk tops that store away in a high bed or as part of a cupboard/ storage system. As well as being versatile, this maximises floor space. • A homework area, with one or more workstations, can be created in another part of the house. Provide purpose-built shelving for books and materials, and desk space with a pin board above for each child’s to-do lists and party invitations. • A bed with a pull-out trundle underneath for overnight guests is useful in bedrooms that are tight on space. You could have a higher built-in bed frame made to create enough space for two trundles to fit underneath, with further storage either side. Hanging a curtain around the bed…
