“We have a very small winter garden which I think is my favourite spot, it’s a real feel-good room with a sofa, cuddly blanket and a beautiful window front which looks out onto the city  - eating a piece of cake here in winter is the greatest.”

This mid-century modern home is a combination of family and memories, it is always changing and evolving with them as a family. With good quality pieces lining their home, they hope their curated space will stand the test of time.

Though trends can be fun to keep a close eye on, whilst picking up ideas along the way, Essi tries not to style her homes based on what’s currently trendy. Her strategy is to play with colours, and once you find your own colour palette that’s when everything starts to make sense. 

Leaving everything to the imagination, Coralie and her husband’s recent purchase was nothing short of a shell when they got their hands on the place. Merely a ruin house - a basic stone structure - they started from zero in a total renovation project in need of a huge amount of perseverance and dedication.

Blocking colours across the two storeys is what makes this Edwardian abode so striking. Whilst dulling tones - to ease the eyes a little - the pallets that line the walls are calming and offer a pleasant mix of deep rich and pastels. With an eclectic mix of patterns, textures and decorative objects, you can see that inspiration is collected everywhere Paolo goes, which makes for an interesting visual tour.

Calling her home a ‘petri dish’, Anais is constantly experimenting, testing and refining until she reaches the results she’s after. Avoiding the ‘design crime’ of not having a consistent style throughout her abode, Anais is slowly but surely adding pieces by the day to bring back the original features of her 1950s property, as a way to pay homage to the decade her home was built.
