The design of the double height lounge has been assembled for residents to watch the sun set or rise, with the apartment’s elevated position lifting them above the cityscape, in perfect view of the London Eye. The views across London are reflected in a double height mirrored fireplace, which is placed between the lounge and the dining area. The dining area is characterised by a bespoke 5-metre book matched Patagonia stone table, with bronze tubular legs, which has been positioned along the axis from the kitchen through to the bedroom wing to accentuate the substantial volume of the space. The living/dining area leads onto the main kitchen, which features integrated Miele appliances, a wine cooler, polished marble worktops and a breakfast bar. Due to its position in the building, it provides a direct view of Big Ben through a full-height glazed sliding door - leading onto a private terrace. With this in mind, the arrangement of the kitchen inspired Goddard Littlefair to dress the space without a kitchen clock, seeing no better alternative to the world-famous clockface outside.

The eventual owners of The Penthouse at Belvedere Gardens, one of five top floor apartments present at Southbank Place, will benefit from direct access to a private amenities space located within the building. The facilities include a private residents’ lounge and outdoor terrace looking out onto Jubilee Gardens, the London Eye and the River Thames. It also features a dedicated health and fitness facility, with steam and sauna rooms, gymnasium, treatment rooms, wet room and relaxation room.

Discussing the penthouse launch, Brian De’ath, Director of Residential Sales at Canary Wharf Group, commented: “The Penthouse at Belvedere Gardens is such a special apartment that we hope will captivate potential purchasers from the moment they walk through the door. The views on offer are arguably the best in London, with almost every landmark visible, whilst the designs by Goddard Littlefair combine perfectly to create a truly extraordinary home.”

The Golden Hour features colours proven to aid productivity - warming hues of oranges and caramel tones, was inspired by sunrise. Soft hues of blues backed by a sapphire evening sky and evoking a sense of serenity, The Blue Hour is designed to bring a calm and relaxing energy, whereas The Twilight Hour - featuring magical tones of purples and deep pinks is designed to complement sunset. Lisbeth Collignon, Marketing Excellence, VELUX ; “Over the last couple of years we have witnessed a cultural phenomenon in the unprecedented shift from office to home-working. And our research shows this trend is very much here to stay. At VELUX, we’re committed to helping homeowners transform the spaces they spend the most time in and this collaboration with Poodle & Blonde allows us to do just that. We’re very proud of the Magic Hours range, the first of its kind created specifically with the home office in mind, which truly celebrates the impact of daylight from above.” Whinnie Williams and Kierra Campbell, Founders, Poodle & Blonde; First-of-its-kind range designed specifically for the home office to showcase the transformative impact of daylight .

“For us, VELUX are our go-to whenever we want to introduce more light to a space no matter how large or small the project. Whether it’s flooding a room with daylight or simply framing a view to bring the outside inside, the results are truly transformative. When VELUX

TG Studio was appointed to reconfigure and refurbish a tired threebedroom purpose-built apartment in the leafy suburbs of Hampstead in North London.

KIDDERPOORE GARDENS – HAMPSTEAD, LONDON This second-floor lateral apartment is well sized for London and spans both sides of the block, featuring two long balconies overseeing communal front and rear gardens. TG Studio started the project by stripping back the apartment back to the concrete base and reconfiguring the layout to cater for the client’s needs. The retired owners live between London and Tel-Aviv and wanted a more spacious pied d’terre where they could truly enjoy London metropolitan life and catch up with their London family in light airy and spacious accommodation.

Our clients wanted a more modern

On the other side of the great room is the all-new kitchen that gives access to a compact utility space. The kitchen was manufactured in Italy and plays with Japanese inspired finishes – light oak above the worktop, white stone for worktop and backsplash and an oiled metal finish below the worktop. The large black extractor separates the kitchen from the dining area and offers storage and lighting at the same time. At our clients request we reused their existing dining chairs as they find them very comfortable.

The master bedroom suite consists of a large room cleverly divided into a dressing and sleeping area by a table that also forms the headboard to the bed. The table, a TG bespoke design, offers working space for a home office, or a make-up area and is designed to hold filing and other storage. Behind the desk is a run of wardrobes stretching the full width of the room. Enough space to hang and house all the owners clothes. The wardrobes and kitchen were supplied by Kochwerk Design. Bedside and table lighting are all by TG Studio and are part of the Hurricane range. From the dressing area two mirrored sliding pocket doors allow access to the now spacious bathroom that features a walk-in toilet room, a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit and sinks and a freestanding bath. The design is kept very light. Cream porcelain tiles from Marca Corona for durability were used on the floor with white marble tiles and mosaics from Fired Earth cover most of the walls.

palette all you need to do is look at nature. Pairing naturally warming hues and rich colour palettes inspired by the natural world can really give a home a down to earth aura, whilst still being interesting and inviting.” “Natural wood furniture, brass fixtures and warm decorative rugs are great examples of how to bring the full colour palette to life. Working in perfect harmony, bring in elements of caramel, earthy browns, autumnal orange hues and soft neutral beiges to create interest in the space.” “When decorating with earthen hues, lighting is essential to bring in an added element of warmth. Simply adorn your interior with plenty of lamps with soft yellow bulbs and cosy fur throws for an elegant touch of cosiness that exudes luxury.” “Complete the look by combining a mixture of materials, from lacquered finishes and velvet sofas to suede chairs and quilted accessories, to tie the scheme together and add depth to the interior.” From offering one-off bespoke, made-toorder furniture pieces to full interior design management, Juliettes Interiors ensures the very finest interior solutions are created to suit the desires of its clients. As an established member of the British Institute of Interior Design, the highly qualified team is on hand every step of the way to service project briefs of all types.

Vicaima unveils the trends that will shape the interior design sector in 2022, reinforcing the importance of the personalisation factor in each project.

VICAIMA AT THE FOREFRONT OF DÉCOR TRENDS FOR 2022 The beginning of another year symbolises the closing of cycles and the beginning of others, making room for growth, change and progress. 2022 invites us to open doors and appreciate the light and Nature that surrounds us, bringing fragments of these elements into the interior, without neglecting the importance of imagination and resilience that characterised last year’s trends. Vicaima shares the innovations that will dominate the interior design sector throughout 2022, demonstrating that it is possible to follow trends and integrate them into different projects in a customised way.

FBC LONDON LAUNCHES TIMELESS NEW OUTDOOR COLLECTION WHERE CONTEMPORARY CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS DURABLE MATERIALITY This unique new collection, by award-winning interior designer Fiona Barratt Campbell, has been created with durability and practicality in mind and each individual piece reflects FBC London’s commitment to craft in the modern age. Inspired by the movement of textures, colours and patterns found in nature, the quality, time and creativity that has been invested in each and every piece is evident. A versatile collection, many of the existing families of furniture are now available for both indoor and outdoor use, such as the very popular Sol collection, Edesia dining chairs,

New pieces include upholstered sofas, dining tables and chairs, armchairs, ottomans, side tables and loungers, all of which can be customised if required. “Our intention with FBC London as a brand is to create antiques of the future, and that can now extend to fully furnishing outdoor living areas too. Lockdown in the UK played a huge part in the decision to expand our existing indoor ranges to be suitable for outdoor entertaining. Our gardens, terraces and balconies became multi-functional, doubling up in some cases as home offices, gyms, yoga studios and dining spaces, and so the barriers between indoor and outdoor have become seamless. Tried and tested in my own garden with friends and family last summer, our new outdoor range allows you to entertain al-fresco all year round.” Says Fiona Barratt Campbell.

and to be involved in the design itself. I 2. How has sustainability changed lighting design? Socioeconomic factors continue to influence consumer choices and hence the buying process. Instead of buying constantly low priced and low-quality goods, customers are searching for products for their home that will last longer, which do not hurt the environment and that they are proud to own. As a lighting designer and manufacturer, sustainability is at the core of what we do. We only use natural, raw metals for all of our lights (pewter, brass and copper), reducing the reliance on plastic and other chemicals. Keeping to this simple but effective formula not only ensures easy mixing and matching across our entire range, but also allows us to have comprehensive control over quality and sustainability.

3. Are you seeing a particular trend for any type of lighting products when working on a design? Statement lighting is having a moment, with oversized pendant lights providing the focal point for wow factor interiors. We are finding that customers are knowledgeable about interiors and what they want to achieve from the space in which they live. Customers want products that reflect

The interior exudes a spacious and functional appeal that comprises luxurious sofas, giant entertainment areas and cool collectables, showcasing a mix of different décor styles. Accentuating the rooms throughout the home, Amos Lighting was commissioned to create a bespoke lighting scheme, illuminating each area and breathing life back into the property.

Across the main living room area, the stunning black mesh hanging pendant designs from the Moooi range have been used in a grouping over the central coffee table, leaving an inviting appeal that lights up the whole room. The guest room offsets a neutral boho vibe, using soft white furnishings, wicker accessories, wood details and a stunning hanging fringed lamp from the Amos Lighting range for added character. The master bedroom embraces more luxury details with velvet accessories, deep-buttoned furnishings and rod pendant lights placed over the bedside tables for extra ambiance.

Designs from the Tom Dixon, Original BTC and DCW ranges have also been used across the garden, indoor pool and games room adding the perfect mood for entertaining friends and family all year round. With help from the Amos Lighting range, this property now has creative flair and artistic illuminations that form a seamless and uninterrupted flow of light – leaving a breathtaking appearance from any angle.

BLACK PHANTOM TIMELESS ELEGANCE WITH METALLIC DEPTH

Occhio’s new black phantom finish stirs emotion through its dark elegance. The brushed finish with metallic depth gives new expression to luminaires and spotlights while setting commanding accents in interior spaces. The new finish is now available for all Occhio luminaire series.

The exquisite new finish black phantom will appeal to all those who love purist design and the expressive power of the colour black, yet do not want to sacrifice elegance. With its metallic depth and refined brushed sheen, the new finish injects a compelling accent into the living spaces where it appears while also harmonizing with these spaces. The finish is produced using high-temperature anodizing, a complex aluminium-refining process. The process ensures the finish has exceptional scratch and wear resistance, is easy to maintain, and does not tarnish or oxidise. Black phantom is now available for all Occhio lighting series.

OCCHIO – THE COMPANY Occhio stands for exceptional design, unique light quality and the highestpossible ‚joy of use‘ - and thus for a new culture of light. Established by Axel Meise in 1999, Occhio was based on a simple yet revolutionary idea: creating a luminaire system that is consistent in design and light quality, offers an optimal solution to meet every room need – and turns people into the lighting designers of their own space. Offering universal designs and quality light, Occhio connects spaces and enables entire buildings to be designed with the highestpossible quality of light – in both private and commercial areas.

Today, Occhio is one of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the industry. It has evolved from a German design icon into an international luxury brand. With its headquarters in the heart of Munich, Occhio now employs more than 240 people. Its European sales are channelled through premium speciality lighting retailers and the company’s flagship stores in Munich, Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Milan – as well as in Shanghai since January 2022.

THE BIGGEST LUXURY INTERIOR TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER Celebrity Interior Designer Sanel Konyar and Founder of Interior Kollection, a luxury online interiors emporium, shares five of the biggest luxury interiors trends for this season.

MINDFUL INTERIORS My passion is creating interiors that are not just beautiful but also comfortable and practical. We don’t change our interiors daily so we need it to be timeless and super comfortable, making our homes a true sanctuary. My design principles always lean towards creating a home that offers a peaceful, tranquil environment that flows with ease throughout, and 2022 is the year of the mindful home! Our clients want to elevate their homes to create experiences they would have pre-pandemic sought away from home. We are now creating luxury home spa environments, yoga and meditation rooms, home cinemas, opulent dining experiences and executive office spaces that harmonise function with beautiful, thoughtful design.

GLAM WALLS Dressing plain walls is a prominent interior trend right now. Bold and eye-catching wallpaper is very in vogue right now but not always possible to undertake in a rented home or period property. However, an alternative to wallpapering to add equal interest to a plain wall is to use large framed artwork. Choose prints and textile art showcased by a plain wall backdrop. Textural art is a huge trend this year,

bathroom furniture minimalist and storing away everyday items to keep it clutter-free and allowing for more space to showcase your luxury bath products adds to this look. Soaking tubs, hot tubs and baths with whirlpools are all trending when elevating the home spa experience. Walk in showers and ‘raindance’ showers with heated flooring are the ultimate 2022 luxury for the home. Tick the whole trend or take elements that work for your home and budget.

The sitting room wallpaper ‘Indienne Tint’ is a pretty panel design, painted by Parisian textile designer, Serge Maury and based on the 18th century chintzes from the Coromandel Coast in Southern India. Other opulent rooms, all with soaring ceilings and grand views of the estate, take guests back to a bygone era of country house interiors with beautiful décor, stunning attention to detail and striking bathrooms featuring dramatic veined Calcatta Viola marble and freestanding nickel baths for a touch of old school British glamour.

A REGAL RESIDENCE BY THE RIVER WITH HAVWOODS The design brief was to maintain character whilst delicately introducing modern touches through minimalist décor and the exposed wooden window frames. To complete the space and provide the perfect finishing touch, Havwoods was specified to provide herringbone flooring that would contribute to the overall flow of the property.

With outstanding views overlooking the River Dee and stunning Welsh coastline, Abbotsford is the epitome of residential luxury. This impressive detached period property recently underwent a substantial renovation and extension to reconfigure its internal layout undertaken by Mark Watson Architects.

The Cocoa Herringbone from the V Collection was chosen for its traditional yet contemporary appeal, perfectly complementing the features of the house. Its popular and on-trend design, rich wooden hues and intricate pattern beautifully reflect the natural light from the hallway of the property. Combined with the stunning views of the countryside from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the natural flooring truly helps bring the outdoors inside. Complemented by soft, grey walls and matt black accents on the doors and furniture, the planks help to tie the entire scheme together resulting in a warm and welcoming home.

Renowned as an industry leader, innovation and aesthetics are pivotal when it comes to designing an interior scheme. Havwoods has continued to stay ahead of the trends by providing consumers with cutting-edge wood floor solutions that deliver on both functionality and style.

SILICATE MASONRY PAINT FOR ALL SURFACES A newly formulated Bonding Primer from Earthborn can now be used alongside Silicate Masonry Paint for exterior masonry surfaces that do not need to breathe. Bonding Primer provides a mechanical bond between a ‘sealed’ wall and the paint, allowing Silicate Masonry Paint to ‘stick’ to the pre painted surface. And in places where there is a mix of painted and unpainted masonry, you can now spot prime the patches where the previous paint cannot be removed with Bonding Primer and prime the rest of the unpainted area with Silicate Primer.

The updated Earthborn product range means that Silicate Primer used on uncoated masonry with Silicate Masonry Paint will create a highly breathable and permanent chemical bond. This new primer means the 48 beautiful shades can be used on an even wider range of buildings, including those with a mix of previously painted and bare masonry.

BRIDGING THE UK/DUBAI INTERIOR DÉCOR GAP

The gap between interior design in the UK and interior design in Dubai is mainly down to materials. In the UK and throughout Europe, we benefit from a raft of artisan producers, exceptional craftsmen and woman and of course, high quality materials which can be naturally sourced.

The Dubai property market is blossoming again with many European expats choosing to make it their home away from home. With this sudden influx of Europeans comes the need for a more rounded approach to design, combining the elegance and mystery of Dubai with European interior design trends, handmade and crafted bespoke furniture items, and luxury fixtures and finishes that are from international artisan producers. The provenance of the design is matched by the exceptional levels of finish warranted by the European market. The blend of countries and their wants and needs are all different, from rich earthy colour palettes of Spain to the natural woods, tones and materials of Scandinavia. The one thing that ties all of Europe, and the UK together, is the quality of the materials used to create these unique finishes.

The technical detail needed to deliver these stand out finishes is a constant challenge especially as artisan makers retire. Much of what you find in the local interiors offering in Dubai is imported, however, programmes like QUEST in the UK ensure that young artisans are recognised and their talent nurtured. We are fortunate in Europe to have access to a vast array of craftspeople keen to deliver projects that highlight the tremendous talent found across Europe and bring this offering to the Dubai market. This skills shortage is becoming more and more apparent with some artisan and bespoke manufactures not wanting to commit to the move needed to become ingrained in the Dubai interiors world. Although everything is imported in Dubai, the companies and skilled staff need to be on the ground, working, living and doing business in the region to really be able to deliver what is required. With very few companies willing to do this, there’s a real gap for those suppliers that could do exceptionally well. While shops and cafes are starting to move towards a more western European style with lots of wood, neutral and industrial finishes, the hotels are still playing catch up. Forward thinking groups like the Dorchester are starting to make headway bringing in new designs which reflect the new trends as well as bespoke furniture that caters to the European market. Dubai is a city full of inspiration and London is fast catching up with the luxury apartment style living on offer across the UAE, through the installation of high end ultra-luxury apartment blocks which

With Dubai being a market leader in opulence and luxury

seamlessly blend UK quality with Dubai style.

living, we’re starting to see a transition into a greater depth of craftsmanship that will only continue to grow in the forthcoming years. As Dubai gains access to a better choice of materials, finishes and most importantly, the talent to install and curate them into the design, the future of interiors in Dubai looks bright. The market, and the consumer, is ready for the next stage of Dubai design. It is certainly an exciting time for interiors in Dubai, and in 2022 we will begin to see the high-end European ‘look’ curated in an elegant manner which will complement the ultramodern architecture found in this fabulous country.

The ultimate luxury is taking time to unwind in a bed so comfortable that you never want to leave. The quality of our sleep defines our day – and a good night will always lead to happier, more productive and successful waking hours. But how to achieve it?

DESIGN INSPIRED

BY SWEDISH NATURE UNWIND WITH CARPE DIEM BEDS When designing a bedroom, there are lots of factors to consider – lighting, temperature, colours. But most important is, of course, the bed itself. Swedish bed company Carpe Diem Beds was founded in 1995 by chiropractor Börje Thuleskär, a firm believer in the importance of sleep for body and mind. He sought out the best mattress on the market, but wasn’t impressed by it and one day fell asleep on a bed of heather by the sea in Sweden – where he realised that nature contoured to his body far better than any bed ever had.

This led him to embark on a quest to build the perfect bed, one that would mimic the feeling of weightlessness he had had on the heather. The quest took thousands of hours and a partnership with the Spinal Unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden. The result is Carpe Diem Beds’ patented Contour Pocket System, which has a unique cushioning ability. You can feel the mattress embrace your hips and shoulders while gently supporting your lumbar and waist. Your spine is relieved of tension, and your muscles can finally relax. Just like lying on a bed of heather on the cliffs by the Swedish West Coast. Now style, like comfort, means different things to everyone - and Carpe Diem Beds’ range of beds and accessories is designed to inspire creativity and nurture uniqueness. The belief is that beds should not only soothe the body, but also the soul. That is why Carpe Diem Beds provides a perfect balance of luxurious comfort and exquisite style. With a range of legs, headboards, fabrics and functions, customers are free to customise the bed to reflect their own taste, personality and needs. And, as trends come in and out of vogue, you can simply update accessories without replacing the entire bed. All beds are built with the finest raw materials available on the market - slow-growth Nordic pine, Talalay latex, organic cotton, and stunning fabrics from Designers Guild and The Romo Group.

Carpe Diem Beds’ aim is that the bed becomes an integral part of customers’ lives, providing years of restful sleep and aesthetic pleasure. The company want to transform the bedroom to a place that reminds you of your own happy place. Beautiful, serene, tranquil - the perfect place to unwind.

Go to carpediembeds.co.uk to discover more and visit the Carpe Diem Beds Flagship Store at Marylebone, 15 Wigmore Street London W1U 1PE to see the full range of beds.

AN ECLECTIC DELUXE VILLA BY NADA SHEHAB

A TRUE MUSEUM OF DESIGN The Cairene interior designer Nada Shehab, in partnership with LUXXU and Boca do Lobo, launch the brand new Eclectic Deluxe Villa. A multibrand mansion with a plethora of design pieces that are pure art. Home of a very sophisticated personality, with refined taste and a high cultural level – a true museum of design.

It’s easy to get lost within so many works of art while walking through the polished marble floor, enlightened by the multiple lighting fixtures that provide a unique sense of movement. Overall, this project is composed of a living room and dining room, in an open space concept with the kitchen, which is an ode to perfectionism and refined taste. Among other brands, LUXXU and Boca do Lobo stand out with the usual luxurious touch and well-known designs. Starting with the upholstery pieces, LUXXU’s red velvet Ocadia armchairs and the Odette sofa by Boca do Lobo breathe comfort and an opulent design while beautifully contrasting with the blue velvet sofa in the living room. Making a perfect match, at the kitchen counter were placed three Charla bar chairs. The glamorous Nº11 chairs by Boca do Lobo close this red velvet selection.

Other LUXXU pieces are the Empire side table, which always adds that golden vibe to any space with its fluted brass exterior. The Tycho torch wall lamp is the epitome of elegance and distinctiveness. From Boca do Lobo, the Lapiaz console, inspired by authentic karst formations, grabs the attention of those who pass by. Above the console is the Robin mirror, which embodies the strength and character of noble ages, giving them a modern approach. By honoring the history of one of the best archers in English literature, this wall mirror has a strong and textured visual due to the use of handmade nails, each one unique in its finishing, size, and character. In short, LUXXU continues to prove his strength in the luxurious market and the ability to adapt to the client’s needs with custom versions of his design pieces.
