EDITOR’S NOTE

The start of a new year heralds opportunities for change, by revisiting the resolutions we have made the year before. If giving your home a design revamp is high on your list, get to it with the abodes and collections that we have lined up for you in this issue. These inspiring spaces combine streamlined design with pops of colour (page 84 onwards), proof that minimalist interiors need not equate to austere spaces devoid of character. Likewise our cover story on page 72 (also pictured above) is a soulful house, its owners careful to keep its historic elements intact while integrating antiques and personal mementos elegantly into its refreshed interior.

If you’re looking to simply update the look of a specific area, like a bedroom for example, check out the essentials on page 132. For those who aren’t ready to let go of the Scandi-chic look, brighten your home with these beautiful Nordic lamps (page 34). If you’re contemplating a design refresh or just want to be updated, read our trend forecast (page 60). Elsewhere in this issue, we pick out the top designdriven destinations to travel to. Hot on the travel radar this year is Tokyo, as the Japanese capital revs up for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games. Explore the city’s storied neighbourhoods while staying at these design-driven hotels (page 54). And last, but not least, our Tatler Design Awards. Every year, we honour the best in the business—projects by creative talents who work across disciplines to combine thoughtful visual elements with rich nuances. View their exceptional work from page 136. Enjoy the issue.
