Truth be told, I’m not the biggest fan of churches that have been converted into domestic homes. Also, blue isn’t my favourite colour. However, this blue, converted church interior that I saw on Instagram stopped me mid-scroll. It’s like a snaking stairway to heaven!

I love the way there’s a triangular ‘mini-mezzanine’ on each landing. There are so many vantage points from which to stop and enjoy looking up, down and through those amazing windows!

You tend to find wallpaper on walls, sometimes small pieces embellishing bits of furniture… however, this bedroom has wallpaper on the ceiling… and on the ceiling fan!

It looks simply amazing. I’m not the biggest fan (get it?) of ceiling fans, they can sometimes look a bit ugly. Camouflaging the blades with this patterned peel & stick wallpaper just makes them appear to melt away!

The room looks cool and breezy with its blue colour palette; the introduction of all the different shades stops it looking ‘matchy-matchy’ or over the top.

I knew straight away where the tasselled throw was from – the Antipodean company, Kip & Co – we featured a bedroom in one of the owners’ homes in this very series of blog posts a while ago. They produce the most eye-catching bedding.

The fish painting behind the bed was actually done by the owner of this home – isn’t she talented. It’s a quirky piece, and looks right at home on the wall here.

Get their look: Colour-block kitchen

This is a great colour-block kitchen in a family home in London. The peacock blue and sunflower yellow work brilliantly together as well as with the wooden flooring and furniture. The colours are perfect for a north-facing room such as this one; they create warmth and lift the mood. To allow as much light into the space as possible, skylights have been installed along two flanks and huge, bi-fold glass doors out to the garden.

The kitchen is bespoke, created using plywood cut to make best use of space. The clean, minimalist colour-block lines are achieved by making surfaces flush; there are no knobs or handles on doors or drawer fronts.

A post shared by Chris Snook (@snookphotograph)

This is definitely a grown ups room; a lounging library tos retire to for some down time. Wall to wall, floor to ceiling shelves of books. Don’t the brightly coloured covers look great against the dark, grey walls? Then there’s a very inviting, comfy looking sofa – and large coffee table to place some flowers, candles, more books of course… and perhaps a drink. It’s all very elegant – we love it!
