Looking at this airy, elegant bathroom, its hard to believe that it measures just 210cm by 180cm at its widest points.

A Slice Of Danish

THE MAYOR SOFA BY Arne Jacobsen and Flemming Lassen was ripe for revival: we’ve seen all things Scandi win acclaim in recent years, be it on our TV screens or in our interiors. But how to make a classic work for now, and how to ensure that this 1930s design is suited to modern living?

Classic Good Looks

Special homes deserve special bathrooms, and this exceptional house finally has a bathroom worthy of it. Part of the landmark estate designed by the visionary Victorian builder Alfred Heaver, whose red-brick terraces have been a sought-after address for more than a century, the house overlooks a leafy stretch of parkland. And it was this view that particularly impressed Lee Collins of Braco Designs when the owners asked him to come up with ideas for a new bathroom.

Designed For Life

Big proportions need big solutions when it comes to creating a living-room scheme that will work equally well as a grand party space and an intimate retreat.

Bedding

Meet the Maker Helena Jackson Beekeeper

I’m classed as a youngster in the beekeeping fraternity, which, when you’re in your 40s, is quite nice. But this is more a reflection of the average age of a beekeeper, and highlights that we need to get a broader range of ages involved to keep the art and traditions going, while being progressive.
