Kitchens - their successful design is an imperative part of a working interior. It really can be the small, simple details - tailored to the way that you cook and use the space - that make it a joy to use. Whether it's having jars of ingredients on open shelving, or something clean white and minimal. From ergonomic islands to modular cabinets and hidden storage.


Orange Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen is painted a warm orange, with wooden units. Copper pans are displayed along a traditional shelf and rows of plates adorn the walls. A wooden farmhouse kitchen provides both a work surface and a casual dining spot.



Green Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen harks back to the building's origins as a farmhouse. It boasts original terracotta floor tiles and simple whitewashed walls. The traditional wooden beamed ceiling is painted a vibrant green.



Mews tricks
In the kitchen area, traditional and contemporary pieces work together, where a mix match of chairs around the dining table create an informal dining look. Carrara-marble-topped units are painted in 'Hague Blue' by Farrow & Ball.



Modern Country Kitchen with Black Aga
The traditional country kitchen has an Aga and complementing units on either side, with the owners' collection of copper pans hanging along the length of the wall. The table was custom-made and is paired with chairs and a bench. The effect, although welcoming and cosy, is minimal and fresh.



Farmhouse Kitchen with Wooden Dining Table
The kitchen of this farmhouse is painted in a soft green. The traditional units are creamy white with brass knobs and pulls and a gloriously weathered oak table has centre stage.

 Cooler weather doesn't mean the end of outdoor decorating. Changing things up seasonally is fresh and festive and keeps your home from feeling tired. Even small details that are thoughtful can be very inviting.

 Stately Symmetry
Tall container gardens, when guests are coming and going during the busy season, you want to dress your best. The simplicity of two planters flanking the door, making it a focal point.


 Monogrammed Urns
To give a little more interest to standard urn planters. The gold complements the hardware on the door, while standing out against the black surface.



  Seasonal Seating
A bright red bench to the front yard, which offers a cheery spot to admire the autumnal foliage. We also loved that big front door wreath, which is noticeable even from far away.


 Hay Bale Vignette
If you don't have enough room on your porch for a big display, simply relocate it to the front yard. It creates a natural focal point and provides support for heavier elements.

Your backyard doesn't expire by summer's end. Use these decorating ideas to transition your porch, patio or backyard for autumn.

Outdoor Daybed
Snuggling up on an outdoor swing looks like an all-weather activity when it's positioned in a snug alcove. Improvised this divan using rope, metal rings and wood.



Hanging Lanterns
That's no small stove. A house heats the entire loggia with a massive limestone fireplace. Curling up on one of the sectional sofas sounds extra relaxing under the glow of overhead lanterns.


Hooded Chair
The cushioned sofa and chaise lounge look comfy, but the star of this open-air living room is the antique Porter's chair. The canopied nook provides the perfect outdoor reading spot, and the best seat at the dining table.


Cozy Fireplace
Extend the season of alfresco dining with a freestanding chimney. Plus, summer's end means no pesky bugs.


Curtained Cabana
Pull back the thick drapes during the day or turn on the paper lanterns at night. Either way, this California pagoda looks perfectly dreamy.
