PERFECTLY FRAMED: A pared-back mix of vintage and antique pieces lets the oak frame do the talking in Tamsin and Paul Clarke's barn home 

WHEN LESS IS MORE: Losing a little space to create a mezzanine and double-height window gave the dark ground floor of this terraced house a new lease of life 

VINTAGE BLEND: Jane McCarthy and her husband, Ian Harman combined their love of mid-century design with inspiration taken from time spent living in Australia

'THIS MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM IS NOW SUPER-STYLISH TOO' Katy Stevens sourced multi-functional furniture to zone and streamline her guest room, which doubles up as an office and living space

'IT'S THE FIRST HOUSE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME' Leanne and Ash Baud grew in confidence with colour as they decorated their 1930s semi, achieving the perfect balance of dark and moody interiors and family practicality 

'THE SPACES HAVE IMPACT, BUT IN A CALM, WARM WAY' Choosing natural materials, authentic patinas and monochrome accents, Gemma Ruse and Xavier Sheriff have created a design-led home with a lived-in feel
