I’VE GONE back and forth between English countryside style and minimalist neutrals lately, and after a quick fling with the former again, I’m firmly back to the latter, having discovered this ultra-chic home, known as Herenhuis in ‘t Gooi (Mansion in the Gooi) on Instagram. If you’re not familiar with neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, the Gooi is an area around Hilversum, in the centre of the country. It is a slightly hilly area characterised by green landscapes, historical charm, villas, and is also known as home to the rich and famous.

THE PAST FEW décor articles have been heavily French and English countryside-inspired because it's aesthetically where we're at in our design tastes at the moment. But before that, in July of this year, we wrote about Amber Interiors, a California-based design studio working with lots of natural textures, marble and warm rough-hewn wood. Well today, we'd like to revisit that aesthetic and introduce you to Blanc Marine Intérieurs, a Canadian design firm based in Montreal ...
THIS WEEK'S Two Lovely Things features the front door curtain, something we've been coming across quite a bit recently, especially in English countryside décor. There are many reasons why one might hang an entrance curtain over their front door: as a beautiful way to frame the doorway, but also as a chic solution for reducing heat loss at home, as a heavy fabric curtain can help prevent cold air from passing through a draughty entranceway.
BITS AND PIECES of this quintessential English countryside cottage have been featured here before (without us realising that they were all from the same place) because Charlotte's Folly, as this Shropshire cottage is known, ticks all the boxes of the things we love lately: Stripes and Garden Rooms; Blue and Pinkish Brown; and of course, using Curtains Instead of Cupboards ...
LOUISE WAS normally the one who always wrote about stripes here at TIG (see here, here & here) as she loved them so, especially in a nautical, décor and everyday capacity. We always loved them in a holiday capacity of sorts⏤beach umbrellas in Italy, yellow and white towels at a hotel in California, wallpaper in a home in the English countryside. Now we're seeing them in an entirely new light, as tablecloths and shower tiles, oversized linen shirts, cushions and chaise lounges...
P MADE THE MOST delicious Eggs Benedict on the morning of the first day of the new year. It was sunny and beautiful out, which was perfect, as we had decided the night before that we would go a long bicycle ride in the English countryside on New Year's Day. We ended up in a quaint pub we'd been to a few times before, but always only outside in the garden. This time, we had the best seats in the place, right in front of the roaring wood fire ...
WE HAVE BEEN reminiscing about our former life in Spain and all the summer mornings spent eating sandía on the back terrace in the sun, the terracotta tiles warm under our bare feet. We've been craving gazpacho, which is proving difficult to find here in the English countryside ...
IT'S A RARE WINTER wonderland here in the English countryside, so Aaron and Lauren Paul's snowy 5-bedroom cabin getaway in Idaho seemed appropriate. The Idaho-raised actor's recently-built home was featured in the March issue of Architectural Digest. Located on a 5-acre lot, the Pauls' rustic-chic getaway is filled with reclaimed barnwood and Montana moss rock ...
RECENTLY ON INSTAGRAM, we posted an English countryside cottage (above) that captured the imaginations of thousands. Many of you asked if it was the cottage from the 2006 Nancy Meyers film, The Holiday. It is not (although there are similarities), as Rosehill Cottage from The Holiday sadly doesn't exist, its exterior built from scratch in an empty field on a hillside overlooking the town of Shere.
The Notting Hill home of creative consultant and designer Matilda Goad, at first glance, falls neatly into the English countryside aesthetic we’ve all fallen for lately. Upon closer examination, however, the space definitely has its own modern spin ...
Designer, writer and creative consultant, Nicolas Fairford, is one of our favourite recent Instagram finds. Not only will you find idyllic English countryside scenes―manicured gardens, climbing roses and spring lambs―but you'll also catch glimpses ...
We live in a quintessential English countryside village, the kind that looks like it’s a movie set, a beautiful place with stone cottages that have names like Rosebank and Appletree Grange. It's the kind of place where there are cosy pubs and a greengrocer for fruits and vegetables ...
I AM NOT EXACTLY sure what it is that I am so drawn to in House & Garden columnist Rita Konig's farmhouse, other than the fact that it is in County Durham and that we are also currently living in the English countryside ...
MY SISTER HAS always loved daisies, but I always thought them a bit common, and preferred the romance of roses. But in our first springtime in the English countryside, tiny daisies have sprung up in the grass all along the riverside and they are so cheerful, they are really starting to grow on me ...
HERE IN THE UK, TODAY IS considered the first day back to work after the holidays. We were away to visit family in Scotland late last week, and spent the weekend lingering over festive things for the last time, so it's back to work for us today as well. On Sunday the weather was beautiful and we spent most of our time outdoors in the beautiful English countryside ...
