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.

Room by Room with Corey

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.

Nice Things This Week

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.

2026 Interior Trends

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.

Granny Core is having a moment - and it ties directly into Pinterest’s 2026 trend, Laced Up. A softer, sweeter, slightly nostalgic turn to interiors. Think ruffled lampshades, scalloped edges, embroidery, floral wallpaper and patchwork blankets that look like they’ve been collected over time.
Pinterest is calling it: comfort is cool again, and the look is all about layering - pattern on pattern, texture on texture. It’s cosy, and quietly confident.
