A bench to rest your shopping and somewhere to hang your hat and umbrella – little comforts that seem to be overlooked more often than not these days. Not so in this home for an artist in Belgium.

Personal style abounds in Madrid.
Seth Godin talks about finding your own brand essence, your own style, culture whatever you want to call it. And how if you have to search really hard you’re unlikely to find one. ‘Clothes don’t make the man’, he says, ‘the man makes the man’. Clothes simply amplify whatever it is you really stand for.
I’ve hung on to that idea all week. How it works when you swap ‘clothes’ for ‘interior design’. This Rome loft (the home of artist Valentina De Martini) feels like a case in point.
French artist Xavier Veilhan‘s tempting new show in the garden and chateau of Versaille looks more than worth the airfare… Until December 13.
From minimalist modern Japan to the rather more eclectic domain of maverick Parisian interior designer Florence Baudoux, mauve sofas are being seen in all the best interiors.
‘Coming back home makes me happy’. Words of design art maverick, aesthete extraordinaire and owner of this carefully composed London apartment David Gill.
Looking at this Milan home of the free-spirited Sicilian painter Nino Mustica, I started to understand just how to win the war on clutter… It may not be, as the organising pros suggest, a case of a place for everything (accompanied by exceptional levels of self-discipline) after all. But rather a matter of balancing disarray at low level with equally noisy, really interesting art everywhere else.
This window display by artist Arnold Goron for French clothing label Isabel Marant is a sublime example of how one brilliant, elegant, well crafted concept can win.
These beautiful rooms are the London city home-studio of international artist Thomas Kuppler… After decades in the design wilderness, the return of face brickwork in modern interior design just took a big step forward.
American artist Phoebe Washburn‘s Wood Wall and Wood Wall as Safari Vest are two of the latest works of art to be transformed into digital wallpaper by the New York based wallpaper lab. The context shots are great. I love the way the room settings in the photos go against the usual gallery aesthetic, instead using the wallpaper around other distinctly textural finishes like brick and concrete and even real timber… The kind of work – both in its original and wallpaper format – that sets your mind racing.
