Theatre of dreams

The best of English and French style has been brought to this house near Paris, creating a home full of joyful colour and pattern

Set in a former factory, this London duplex had no internal walls, stairs or style – until a highly skilled designer got her hands on it and worked magic

Paying homage to its classical roots but with a modern twist, this Parisian abode marries gutsy choices and quiet restraint beautifully

Taking on and reviving a special Victorian home she had long admired gave Jess Shah space to honour the antique and vintage pieces passed down through her family
