As autumn drizzle begins to set in here in the UK, I thought I'd try to cheer everyone up by sharing a few photos of the wonderfully bright, fresh interiors at this Belgian boutique hotel, which has just popped onto my radar. Hidden behind a listed façade in 19th-century Brussels shopping arcade Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, its 23 rooms, communal library and ground-floor restaurant have . . .
Home tour | A light-filled London flat
This lovely, sunny London home belongs to architecture journalist and design blogger Cate St Hill, who describes herself as an ‘interiors enthusiast, green-fingered plant lover and wandering traveller’.
