A living room should make it easy to have people over. Large period windows bring in light and connect the room to its natural surroundings, while generous seating gives friends somewhere to gather comfortably without the space feeling formal or crammed. It works just as well for a full house as it does for a quiet afternoon for two, which is exactly what a country living room should do.

The most relaxing homes rarely come from one period or one style. At the Old Vicarage, the mix of antique pieces, contemporary furniture, art and collected objects create rooms that feel personal rather than designed. The result is a genuine retreat from the city: comfortably layered and calm, with enough character to make every stay feel familiar.

Featured in , the Old Vicarage reflects vision for a weekend retreat in the Notswolds, an increasingly sought-after area with its own pace, character and growing appeal. The house celebrates its setting while offering a more personal approach to country living: comfortable, collected and designed for time spent properly switching off. It is both a home and a retreat, shaped around the pleasures of hosting, resting and escaping the rhythm of the city.

Subtle detailing gives this bar much of its depth. Burl joinery and brass ironmongery draw out the reddish tones of the timber, while the movement of the stone adds another layer of texture and pattern. Each finish has its own character, but together they blur into one cohesive composition that feels rich, warm and carefully resolved.

Comfortable bar-level seating brings the familiar pleasure of pulling up a stool into the home. It creates another place to host, talk and have a drink, while the generous upholstery makes it easy for the evening to carry on. The bar feels polished enough for an occasion, but relaxed enough to become part of everyday life.

Like any good shelving, a bar should elevate the things it holds. Here, the cabinetry protects the bottles from direct sunlight while carefully integrated lighting allows the glass, colour and contents to shine. The collection becomes part of the interior, adding sparkle, depth and a little glamour.

The home bar with its built-in shelving looks as at home here as it would in one of Mayfair’s chicest hotels. The red tones of the timber and stone bring warmth to the room, while liquid-metal finishes add a sharper, more elevated edge. Together, they give the bar a strong sense of character without losing the inviting atmosphere that makes people want to settle in, “order” another drink and stay a little longer.

We wanted to bring the atmosphere of a chic central London cocktail bar into the home. Downstairs of the main living and dining spaces, the bar naturally moves the evening on, giving guests somewhere to gather for a drink once dinner ends and the pace becomes a little more relaxed. Rich materials, warm lighting and a more intimate setting give it a character of its own while keeping it connected to the rest of the house.

The lower-ground floor of this south London family home is a place to have a bit more fun with the space. A billiards table and piano create room for hobbies, entertaining and slower evenings at home, while full-height glazing and doors onto the patio keep the space bright and connected to the outdoors during the day. As the light changes, so does the mood, becoming warmer and more intimate in the evening without ever feeling like a traditional basement.

This wider living area in Notting Hill was designed to feel like an escape within the city. Bespoke joinery brings order and architectural presence, while the Verde Alpi marble fireplace introduces a striking focal point that still sits comfortably within the room’s warm, grounded palette. Together with the natural earth tones running throughout the apartment, the space offers a more comforting vision of urban living: somewhere to decompress, reset and feel at ease at the end of the day.
