A periord property with potential drew Derya Berber in and all the hard work paid off – it’s now a beautiful home that honours its Edwardian roots

Sunshine and ice-cream shades brought this room back to life

The alluring jewel tones that designer Laura Stephens adorned this modern 1980s home with have given it depth and a wonderful sense of character

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
