London Georgian House Extension & Remodelling By Ben Pentreath
Ben and Charlie live on the top floor of an old Georgian house in Bloomsbury that now provides the headquarters to a renowned artistic society. The flat was added and extended out of old attic garrets in the 1920s, and now provides a stunning, light-filled interior with a view over the leafy square.
The flat, in contrast to The Old Parsonage, uses layers of more contemporary fabrics, furniture and lighting – but combined with a bold use of antique furniture and engravings to create a mood that is at once modern and traditional, restful yet richly-coloured......more from Ben Pentreath

Cottage Remodelling | 18th Century Cottage in West Sussex with new interior decor by Caroline Holdaway
This property, originally two keepers cottages in West Sussex, is a cherished second home for my clients who wanted to enlarge to create space for entertaining, provision for guests and ancillary accommodation. Two extensions were added and a glass link to capitalise on the views of the glorious Sussex Downs.
Reclaimed oak and elm timber was sourced and laid for flooring and reclaimed York stone slabs were selected for interface areas with the outside. The newly constructed rooms were all given character by the use of reclaimed timber wall muntin. Oak beams were found and mechanically hollowed out to conceal the necessary modern steel supports marrying new construction with the original part of the building. Lime plaster was used to soften edges and a harmony of new and old sit peacefully together.......more from Caroline Holdaway

Modern Turkish Interior Decor | Turkish Villa | Alessandro Isola
There is a theatrical quality to every space. Huge teak roots, soft draped walls and perforated metal screens, create private spaces whilst maintaining visual permeability throughout the open plan spaces. Just as the living spaces are light and open, the bedrooms have a cosier warmer feel, with each room having a distinct character.........Alessandro Isola

Brazil Home Interior Decor | Alagoa | Tavares Tuayer Arquitetura
The architectural and aesthetic was founded on the preservation and enhancement of the culture and architecture region. We used colors and elements that allowed the new building to harmonize dialogue with the rest of the city. Ventilation and lighting prisms, translucent tiles and cast fixed elements were adopted to improve thermal comfort in the interior of the house. It was enriching to work from the Northeastern / Alagoan regionalism, full of colors and poetry. Accredited in the importance of valuing the individual through its history, culture and living conditions. Brazil is a country of singular natural and cultural wealth, it is important that we are attentive to the appreciation of our culture........tavares duayer arquitetura

Country Home Interior Decor | Fienning Residence | Frederick + Frederick Architects
When Molly and Ted Fienning bought the Robert Smalls house there was only one inadequate bathroom and virtually no closets; typical in historic houses. The house’s history intrigued them. In 1839, Robert Smalls was born a slave on this property. In the civil was he became a U.S. Army captain. He went on to serve in the SC House of Representative, SC Senate and was a United States Congressman for 5 terms. After the civil war, Robert Smalls purchased this and adjacent properties. It is believed that this circa 1855 house was moved to the property as part of the Smalls estate. The original house was two rooms over two; it appears that a one story wing was added when the house was moved. The double front porches were removed many years ago and replaced with a small stoop. It is atypical of Beaufort houses because the porches are on the west instead of the south......more

Colourful Cozy Home Decor | Cinnamon Shore-Port Aransas | Texas | Tracery Interiors
When Southern Living Idea House invited us to design one of the magazine’s 2009 Idea Houses, we gladly accepted the challenge of creating the perfect family beach escape. Working with Dungan Nequette Architects, we developed an interior featuring white-washed wood walls, lots of well thought out built-ins and cozy bunk beds. An elevated kitchen takes advantage of beautiful Gulf-front views while an antique mirrored backsplash reflects the scenery so that everyone in the kitchen can enjoy it. The home’s furnishings are durable, practical and accented with a vibrant color palette which is repeated in original artwork and vintage accessories.....more

Rustic Timber Interior Decor | Compson Bach | New Zealand | Herbstarchitects
A covered outdoor deck, sun court, kitchen and seating areas transform a standard linear plan into individual spaces suited to summer holidays. Block piers and double timber posts hold delicate trusses that provide a structural rhythm that reinforces individual living spaces. Translucent walls enclose private terraces that focus views on beautiful ridgelines rather than joining the jostling water views. At every step this is architecture of unexpected beauty and rich simplicity.........more
