Good renovation advice is almost always retrospective. You have to make the mistakes first. Room by Room is Glassette's series in which we ask designers and homeowners to walk us through their spaces: what wasn't working, what they spent too much on (and whether it was worth it), and what they'd tell you before you pick up a sledgehammer.
For the latest instalment of Room by Room, we spoke to Patricia Rodi, founder of interior design studio Rodi Cécile, about the renovation of her 1860 Victorian villa. Previous owners had over-modernised it, with lowered ceilings hiding the original cornicing, blocked-up fireplaces, and open-plan spaces that left rooms darker rather than brighter. Since then the house has slowly been returned to itself: fourteen rooms reworked to hold family life and two working studios under one roof.
Three years in, with four rooms still to go, the project has had its share of surprises. There were builders' bills inflated by a remote location, fireplaces that cost far more than expected, and a boiler that gave up five days after moving in. Along the way, she learned to live with an old house before making big decisions and to protect original character wherever possible, because, in her words, "you can destroy a century of work in a few seconds".
From reinstated fireplaces and warm pools of lamplight to a kitchen repainted from muted green to brown-red, Patricia takes us through the decisions, splurges and lessons behind a home designed to feel as though it evolved over generations.

Eleanor is Glassette's Buying and Brand Acquisition Manager - the person who sources new homeware and lifestyle brands for the platform, shapes the ranges, and spots what's worth paying attention to before most people have clocked it. Every month, she shares the products she can't stop thinking about, the trends quietly moving into interiors, and honest recommendations she'd genuinely spend her own money on.
This month: the back-to-school dread that ends, as ever, in a new notebook and a house full of primary colours, the frames built around a polaroid strip rather than in spite of it, the tea towels she's decided are too good for the kitchen and has hung on the wall instead, the yoghurt topping the whole office keeps asking about, and the six mirrors doing six entirely different things with the same object.

Furniture is the slowest thing you buy. A sofa outlasts a flat, a table gets carried between three addresses and inherited by someone who never asked for it, a locker bought for a kid's room ends up in a studio holding paperwork. So it's worth being deliberate. The 12 brands in this edit make pieces designed to be lived with rather than replaced: concrete cast by hand in a family studio, burl wood shaped by artisans in Southern Italy, plywood cut in a Brighton workshop. Some are loud, some are quiet, all of them are made by people who can tell you where the material came from. Here's who to know.

The second in our Where We'd Stay series, where we get the people behind exceptional places to stay to talk us through what they built and why.
This time we're on the Devon-Dorset border, at Glebe House: a late Georgian vicarage turned working farm, sleeping up to 18 across nine bedrooms and a handful of cabins, run by Hugo and Olive Guest as an English answer to the Italian agriturismo. Hugo's family home for decades, it was Emma and Chuck Guest's foodie B&B before Hugo and Olive took it on themselves - leaving their jobs in London with a three-month-old baby, an EU grant, and a plan to grow it from three bedrooms to nine. Six years on, there's a restaurant, a kitchen garden, an on-site bakery and salumi ageing room, a sauna and cold plunge, and a sitting room painted a deep terracotta they call fruit fool.
Olive worked with Studio Alexandra on the main house, then took over the interiors herself as the place expanded - painting furniture gradually over the years, and, more recently, teaching herself mosaic-making on a two-metre kitchen backsplash that had to be built upstairs, dismantled, carried down piece by piece, and rebuilt on the kitchen table (where the family ate around it for a fortnight) before it finally went into one of the cabins.
Each instalment covers one property, question by question - the design decisions, the nearby spots worth knowing about, and the one thing guests always comment on. This time: that you've walked into an old friend's house, and somehow you're still being hosted exceptionally well.

Where We'd Stay

Wooden furniture is having a moment of decoration. Tables tattooed with swallows, hands, roses, inked straight into the grain. Wardrobes gone polka dot. Chests of drawers with cows that look like they've wandered off a dairy farm and got comfortable. Even bedframes aren't safe - birds mid-flight across a headboard.
Wood has always taken a mark well. It's just been left plain for too long.

The listening bar has been having its moment - low lights, drinks, someone earnest behind the turntable. Now the ritual is moving home, and the hi-fi evening has become something you host rather than book. Think a turntable given pride of place, records shelved to be seen, seating arranged around the speakers rather than the television. It's hosting at its most generous: one album, played properly, start to finish. We've curated the room - the music, mercifully, remains yours. Below, everything but the B-sides.

Wedding lists have a habit of playing it safe. Twelve of everything, in white, to be used twice a year. This edit takes a different view: presents the couple will actually reach for. Glassware with some personality, a casserole dish that will outlive the marriage certificate's frame, a butter dish in a colour that starts conversations. Some are practical, some are purely sentimental, and some are great to bring out when you have guests over (we’re talking about the Magnum). Whichever you choose, it says you put real thought into it, and that's what makes a wedding gift meaningful.

Some houses take years to get right. Where We'd Stay is a new series from Glassette where we ask the people behind exceptional places to stay - hotels, villas, houses, the occasional very good Airbnb - to walk us through what they made and why.
We're starting in Suffolk, at Melton Hall: a Grade II listed Georgian house on the edge of Woodbridge, sleeping up to 17, with a pool that (according to everyone involved) stops people in their tracks. It was three years in the making - a collaboration between Cassandra Stavrou, founder of Proper Snacks, and her longtime friend and interior designer Rebecca Sicardi, who spent those years sourcing art and furniture from independent dealers, avoiding big brands entirely, and commissioning two oak tables from a single fallen tree on the grounds.
Each instalment covers one property, question by question - the design decisions, the nearby spots worth knowing about, and the one thing guests always comment on. Places we'd genuinely stay. Starting here.

Good renovation advice is almost always retrospective. You have to make the mistakes first. Room by Room is a new series from Glassette where we ask designers and homeowners to walk us through a single space: what wasn't working, what they spent too much on (and whether it was worth it), and what they'd tell you before you pick up a sledgehammer.
For the latest instalment of Room by Room, we spoke to Corey Hemingway, co-founder of design-led estate agency Hemingway+K, about the kitchen extension of her 1960s London townhouse. What started as a small, dingy space became a warm, light-filled room designed to do everything at once: cook, work, host, and connect seamlessly to the garden beyond.
Twelve months in the making, the project came with its share of surprises - deeper foundations, escalating construction costs, and the occasional challenge of being, in Corey's words, a "tyrannical perfectionist". Along the way, she learned the value of trusting contractors, following instinct when choosing materials, and investing in the elements that shape a room's atmosphere.
From Douglas fir walls and butter-yellow joinery to the Accoya sliding doors that frame the garden, Corey takes us through the decisions, splurges and lessons behind her favourite room in the house.

Spring always feels like a reading reset, longer days, fresh stacks, and the sense that you might finally tackle the books you’ve been saving. We spent five minutes with Lizzy Hadfield to talk about what’s on her spring reading list right now, from sprawling novels she finally has time to sink into to the shorter reads that deliver that satisfying finish. She shares the books that have shaped her as a reader, the titles sparking debate at her New York book club Buffy’s, and why the best recommendations often come from a mix of instinct, community and the occasional irresistible cover.

Few materials shape a space quite like wood. Warm, grounding, and endlessly versatile, it brings texture and depth without ever shouting for attention. From pale, tactile grains that brighten a room to rich, dark finishes that add quiet drama, wood has an instinctive way of making interiors feel considered and lived-in.

Most of us want the same thing from our bedrooms: to switch off. But somewhere between laundry piles, over-bright lighting, and well-intentioned styling, calm can quietly slip away. Learning how to create a calm bedroom isn’t about chasing a minimalist ideal or copying a hotel room wholesale. It’s about understanding what helps your nervous system slow down, softer light, fewer decisions, materials that feel good to touch, and then shaping the room around that. Calm isn’t a look. It’s a feeling you notice when you exhale.

Creating a Calm Bedroom

For 2026, interiors move towards spaces that feel warmer, more personal and intentionally lived-in. From expressive woods and softly reflective chrome to sociable banquette seating and cosy, cocooning nooks, the focus is on creating homes with depth and character. Design becomes less about perfection and more about personality, layering meaningful details, playful elements and thoughtful contrasts. These are interiors designed to evolve over time, telling stories through material, form and feeling, and balancing everyday comfort with a sense of quiet, confident style.

For this Best of Lighting edit, we’re focusing on pieces that do more than just illuminate, they set the mood. Think soft, warm glows balanced with cleaner, clearer light: lighting that feels comforting. 
The best designs strike that sweet spot between atmosphere and function. Together, they create spaces that feel considered, calm, and quietly uplifting. From sculptural pendants to understated table lamps, each piece has been chosen for its ability to elevate a room without overpowering it.

Frank Gehry design is defined by asymmetry, material honesty and a refusal to prioritise visual perfection over lived experience. This editorial explores why Gehry’s approach still matters today, how his principles translate into interiors, and how to borrow the mindset without literal imitation. A modern guide to designing spaces that feel human, expressive and quietly radical.
