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

An Edwardian semi in need of some TLC proved to be the perfect fit for Lucinda Kellaway and her family

Lucy Clarke-Bishop added a lower-ground extension to her 1960s home, connecting the calm, colourful interiors to the large woodland garden

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

Elements of surprise are found everywhere in this village house, which has spirited schemes that feel both classic and completely modern

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