After leaving their partying days behind in east London, one young family built a house in a new neighbourhood where they’ve found a community with the same fun-loving spirit

Throughout the festive season, this lively family home is decked with a gorgeous mix of garlands, greenery, flowers and trees that take their cue from the surrounding Yorkshire woodland

Tucked between buildings on a typical Upper East Side street, this sliver of a townhouse conceals a glorious interior behind its sober red-brick façade. It belongs to a family living between Australia, Italy and New York. Longtime clients of Australian designer Greg Natale, they asked him to inject some European glamour into their new base. Greg took us on a tour, explaining how, with a mix of vintage pieces and 20th-century design classics, lashings of Italian marble and a maximalist approach to decorating, he created a home as diverse and enriching as the Big Apple itself.

How a sociable couple created an entertaining space that celebrates smart design

Few projects capture the delicate balance between bold design and liveable comfort quite like the radical transformation of this Munich penthouse

With its beautifully conceived palette and curated feel, this home is always ready for entertaining. The owners’ festive decor is equally welcoming, with a few cheery colour updates and touches of green doing the talking
