We’re excited to be shooting four of our projects over the summer, and here’s a little peek from the first in Barnes.

This wisteria-clad terrace creates the most inviting transition between house and garden, layered with greenery, relaxed seating and plenty of texture. And during this week’s heatwave, we can’t think of a better spot to keep cool than tucked beneath this beautifully shaded roof.

More from this project coming soon…

First day of WOW! house 2026, and here are some of our highlights.

1–4. The Drawing Room by for . We particularly loved the hand-blocked Titli linen wallcovering and the beautiful kilim rug from . The domed rooflight, which cleverly conceals the air-conditioning, is a masterclass in combining practicality with elegant design.

5–7. The Speakeasy Salon by for . With its seductive curves and layered finishes, this space feels both intimate and luxurious. The hidden bar area, featuring the Imani wallcovering, is the perfect spot for a cocktail.

8–10. The Primary Bedroom by for is beautifully inviting. The floral Constance print envelops the walls and club fender, while the bespoke wardrobes lined with Gussie voile add charm and craftsmanship. Look closely at image 9 and you'll spot speakers hidden within a copy of The English Home.

11. The Withdrawing Room by for is a delightful cornucopia of collectibles and curiosities. Wrapped in Primavera across the walls, ceiling and curtains, it feels wonderfully immersive yet comfortable.

12–13. The Dining Room by for is a masterclass in timeless elegance. The terracotta Gavotte Brocatelle damask wallcovering provides a rich backdrop for the stunning chandelier and carefully curated antiques.

14–15. The Garden Folly Room by is a rich celebration of jewel-toned reds and greens. We’ve long admired the Ellis linen from on the armchairs and love the tiles framing the banquette.

For the past four years, I’ve taken a trip with my parents to a different city — and this year it was beautiful Budapest 🇭🇺

My camera roll is now basically a collection of intricately painted ceilings, colourful roof tiles, and charming streets that looked straight out of a Wes Anderson film.

We completely fell for this vibrant city — rich in history, full of stunning architecture, incredible food, and some of the friendliest people.

1 & 2. Matthias Church at Buda Castle, famous for its roof covered in almost 150,000 colourful ceramic tiles made by the renowned Hungarian Porcelain factory

3 & 4. Golden hour cruising along the Danube

4. Ornate ceilings inside the Hungarian Parliament Building

5. One of the many beautifully painted buildings in Buda

6. The breathtaking Moorish-style ceiling inside Dohány Street Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe

7. Riverside cocktails as the sun went down

8 & 9. Exploring Hungarian folklore and crafts after dinner

10. A cardamom bullar from at one of the best pastries I’ve ever eaten

11. Who knew the Rubik's Cube was invented in Budapest?

12. Ending the trip with lunch surrounded by its lush greenery

We were delighted to be asked to contribute to the feature on Where to Spend vs Save — link in bio. Thank you

Here are a few examples of how we’ve balanced investment pieces with more considered savings across our projects:

1: Marylebone pied-à-terre
Storage and comfort were key, so we invested in well-designed joinery and a fully bespoke sofa, while saving on side tables.

2. Dulwich bedroom
Our client wanted a true sanctuary. We prioritised these sheer curtains for privacy, layered behind blackout curtains by .interiors in beautiful hand-printed linen. We saved by sourcing French antique bedside tables from .antiques .

3. Barbican living room
We invested in a bespoke sofa and a customised armchair in fabric, alongside statement joinery by . We balanced this with more affordable pieces from and .

4. Abbeville Village
We splurged on a stunning sofa and chaise, and paired these with savings on a mirror and an antique side table.

A thoughtful mix of high and low is often what makes a scheme feel truly layered and personal.
