Give your walls and floors attention – wild prints and a mix of colour are the order of the day

Bert & May’s founder Lee Thornley has elevated an ‘average’ home in York into a Scandi-inspired, timber-clad haven. 

This edition is full of ideas for building your own home. Is it just a pipe dream? We don’t think so – not if it’s done the right way

This cosy setup has been created using Bert & May's handmade encaustic tiles as a focal point. The Pearl + Brighton hexagonal tiles are beautifully versatile thanks to their neutral colour and split pattern: they allow for almost infinite possibilities for layout.

Quirky antiques and mementoes from global travels combine with a daring colour scheme to make this period property a truly personal space 

This family home in The Hague was loving redesigned by its Scottish design aficionado owner
