INSPIRING SPACES

Our choice of irresistible homes and beautiful gardens

This month, we head south to a refined Cape Town family home filled with African art (page 106), then explore a southwest London riverside apartment

transformed by a downsizing couple (page 114). Further upstream, a renovated townhouse

exudes elegance and calm (page 123), while in a Dutch property,

the boundary between outside and in is blurred by natural materials and generous windows (page 132). Outdoors, see how a Berkshire garden redesign has become a haven for contemplation (page 140) and learn how to introduce a woodland feel to your own plot (page 146).
