@BBCNews Pls send a proper cameraman to important events. The filming during the king’s walkabout was shocking.

Deep armchairs, a wood-burning stove, and a cocktail cabinet feature in this elegant oak barn in the grounds of a country house. The rich colourway of dark grey, mustard, petrol blue, crimson and taupe enhance its cozy.

The narrow entrance hall of this London apartment has a moody palette to magnify the experience of entering the spacious, light-filled dining-living room to come. The smoky blue wallpaper is Pierre Frey.

I loved designing these custom bubble glass and gold leaf wall lights. Above all I wanted the glass to look like a glass of champagne. I think of lighting as the jewellery in a room – you have to have the right pieces and not too much.

The asymmetrical columns with a liquefied bronze-gold finish and textured timber shelfs create a one-of-a-kind piece for a London apartment. A collection of artisanal ceramics in neutral tones, made by British crafters, is an effective contrast.

I love outdoor entertaining and use bamboo chairs and simple flowers to make a cosy setting for a casual dinner with friends. Lots of candles are essential! Everyone looks their best in candlelight.

The tiny space allocated for this London powder room was a challenge. We managed to squeeze a custom-made marble sink under the window and added a charming floral wallpaper. The painting is by one of my client’s family members and adds a playful texture to the room.

A collage of artworks created by a diverse group of artists injects colour and freeform movement in this London sitting room. Vintage travertine coffee tables sit next to a custom sofa.

This is one of my favourite dining rooms. I feel all the different elements come together well. The custom brass-and-bronze pendant and the textured lacquer dining table are both my design. In the backdrop, a Gustavo Acosta painting injects the room with energy.

One of my favourite parts of designing a home is creating a library. Here we created a floating credenza and shelving inspired by 1960’s design, The Branco e Preto jacaranda-wood chairs and vintage marble side tables.

Pendant lights need to be functional but also beautiful. The semi-precious stones in the Sputnik-style pendant in this Miami home echoing the vibrant colours in the artwork by Cuban artist Diana Fonseca.

I love an outdoor shower, especially when nestled in greenery and made of natural materials. The creamy travertine contrasts with the oxidized metals walls. The vintage folding chair adds a rustic touch.

Our original sketch for the restaurant of @the22.london. Swipe to see the result. We used four shades of blue on the walls to highlight aspects the panelling. I designed the bespoke chandeliers in cadets of handblown blue glass and brass.

A fresh and vibrant kitchen with bespoke wooden bar stools in an espresso finish and natural jute rope, a sharp teal tile backsplash, and crisp white walls. As ever, the space is brought to life by the artwork.

The golden bar cabinet in this Miami home adds a special touch to the warm space. Metal finish are classically neutral but bold and can elevate a design. A bar cabinet should be well-stocked with a variety of glassware.

This colourful @Tighemiconcept coffee table is handmade in Morocco. The vivid glazed colours add a pop to an otherwise tranquil patio.

Love seeing @the22.london listed as the top hotel in London by @condenasttraveller. It’s my favourite place for lunch (and dinner) where the cool blue palette feels summery fresh.

[Natalia Miyar @nataliamiyar]

Thrilled to see our Vivid Townhouse in @archdigest. We had wonderful clients trust us to create a colourful home with lots of layered texture and character. Read the full article here: https://t.co/pNoWmtrRDE

Unexpected colours and fabrics transform a kitchen from utilitarian space to a cosy room for living. Here we used russet velvet stools, vibrant photography and sophisticated accessories. I love placing an oversized floral arrangement on the counter for dramatic impact.

From concept to reality, I love seeing a design come to life. Swipe to see the finished product – a bespoke double-height library wall made from timber, antique brass and specialist patina finish displaying a collection of vintage and contemporary crafted pieces and books.
