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

A creative couple have transformed a tired cottage into something special: a home that dances with light, character, colour and seasonal decor

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

Working with an interior designer helped this couple realise their home’s potential and even carve out a guest suite during its renovation – just in time for their baby’s arrival

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

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
