As the season shifts, I find myself drawn to pieces that feel rich in detail and brimming with personality. Whimsical silhouettes, intricate embroidery, bold colour and handcrafted charm, this roundup is all about design that delights the eye and sparks a little joy.

Commune Design’s originality shines here: a mix of painterly florals, jewel-toned pillows, and unexpected colour pairings that make the room feel entirely fresh yet rooted. Ethan Herrington Photography.

Whimsy meets function; these mushroom stools by Assieds-toii are the kind of design that makes you smile and still feel chic. I’d happily scatter them around any room.

These Printed Goods x Anthropologie lampshades feel like little works of art. Bold patterns, rich colour, and a touch of magic that transforms the ordinary into something extraordinary.


When Mirko Gentile aka @akindofhome, told me he was working on his own project, I knew it was going to be good , but his newly launched range of one-of-a-kind framed pieces has surpassed every expectation. Layered with textiles, passementerie, and antique prints, his designs are pure poetry.

Grasscloth wallpaper with raffia embroidery and beading (!). This powder room by Kerri Pilchik Design proves that small spaces can carry the boldest details. Kirsten Francis Photography.


I could happily cover every wall with Studio Ham’s Folly Collection. Playful farmyard animals, bold lettering, and a nostalgic spirit that feels both witty and timeless.

The home of Diet Prada founder, Tony Liu, as featured in The World of Interiors. Particularly love this little corner with the ultimate Moire armchair covered in Dedar’s rippling ‘Amoir Libre’ (a great excuse to revisit my post on Moire!). Helped by Farrow & Ball’s Patrick O’Donnell, Liu has made Impressionist blues, Dior pinks, and Prada greens unfold with unexpected harmony. Chris Mottalini Photography.
