Love story

Keen to winkle out the character from beneath its glossy surface, this home’s owner set out to revive its period beauty with a mix of vintage and modern pieces, colourful accents and quirky finds

Taking on a Victorian home not touched in nearly four decades was a challenge one family relished – and the end result is a thoroughly charming mix of old and new

Atop a hill with views of the sea, this Victorian villa has been lovingly decorated with mellow colours and handcrafted features to reflect the local countryside

The minute you walk into Koreen and Charles’ serene home you feel at ease – but getting it to this state was a journey

Third time lucky, as they say, certainly rings true for Alison Coldridge and her husband Simone, recalling the ups and downs of house hunting. Both their number one and number two choices fell through

Playful prints, bright colour pops and a nod to 1970s glam have been teamed with vintage finds in this fun and fabulous Edwardian home
