Back to nature

Thanks to an innovative renovation, a tiny two-up two-down cottage has been completely transformed into a wonderfully lofty, open-plan space

Local stone, acres of glass and Japanese blackened timber have transformed a traditional 19th-century home on the Isle of Purbeck into a smart and stylish family home

A practical and timeless design can also be playful, colourful and full of surprises, as Jenna Botrie’s family home perfectly illustrates

By mixing old and new, designers Alykhan Velji and Alison Connor have created a home with heart

Inspired by the soft lines and peaceful beauty of Japanese wabi-sabi, this London townhouse was renovated with serenity in mind

Simple styling and a soft palette are all this graceful Georgian house needs to shine with quiet beauty. Owner Jade Jordan-James talks us through the restoration
