After the fire, the couple repainted the bathroom in Arsenic green, in homage to one at the Bloomsbury Group’s Charleston Farmhouse. Photograph: Mark C. O’Flaherty/The Guardian I’m sure you know the kind of unholy look I’m alluding to: it’s one favoured by developers of “luxury” properties (although this word seems to have lost a lot of its meaning). To me, those rooms look as if the life has been drained right out of them; they are cold and hard and devoid of personality. Usually a token effort will have been made to bring in some colour: the palest of pale-blue cushions, or a throw in some funereal shade of mauve. Unsurprisingly most of the tales are of male relationships, yearning and loss. To call the Greeks patriarchal is being kind--chauvinistic and misogynistic is more accurate. Even so, Sapphic relationships have a decent showing and there is the occasional Butch/Dyke or Gender Fluid Tale that defies category. They were perhaps most startling and remarkable of all. This is a welcome and beautifully presented effort. See the work of Belgian designer Gert Voorjans for inspiration. In 2016, Voorjans was invited to participate in the AD Intérieurs exhibition at La Monnaie de Paris. He created a bureau d’homme suggesting a journey from Tibet to Paris via Venice. The selection of furniture and objects symbolised each stage of the odyssey and included Venetian antiques as well as Art Deco and 18th-century French pieces. The mix is dazzling, yet no individual piece screams for attention.

The designer has also personalised the reading lamps above the bedside tables with sketchy doodles of martini glasses, the Eiffel tower and different French words. Bathrooms in the hotel are equally bright in colourThis bold palette continues upstairs in the forty guest bedrooms, which have been painted sky blue, violet or olive green. As a child, and already an insatiable art lover, he was often busy drawing, cutting and gluing. Today Luke Edward Hall is an artist, a designer and a journalist.

These are not the sort of colours I’m talking about. I want people to embrace proper, clear colours: daffodil yellow, poisonous green, dusty lavender and sunset peach, acid pinks and oranges. Look to the antiques dealer and former actor Peter Hinwood for inspiration: his rooms always feature enchanting combinations of furniture and objects set against ravishing wall colours.

Piles of books sit by the window, hinting at Duncan and Luke's inspirations. The books chronicle everything from Cecil Beaton to mid-century architecture, and Fornasetti to Nigel Slater. I always begin my projects by leafing through old books and magazines; then, I visit galleries and museums. I allow myself the time to dream and invent stories."

Give me wonky lamp shades and pictures hung in a layout that doesn’t quite work, with frames squished into odd spaces. For inspiration, see the fantastic homes put together by the gardeners Julian and Isabel Bannerman, such as their former home, Trematon Castle in Cornwall.

A Kind of Magic: The Kaleidoscopic World of Luke Edward Hall by Luke Edward Hall, with photography by Billal Taright is published by Vendome Press on 29 September. At the FT Weekend Digital Festival last week, I spoke with Nathan Brooker, editor of House and Home, and put forward my own five design principles. These are the guidelines I offered, and I hope they provide a simplified foundation of what I find to be good design. 1 Try to master the art of the mix Luke Edward Hall’s Cotswolds home (and his whippet Merlin): ‘I crave the magic of contrast’ He was educated at Central Saint Martins, [3] and worked for Ben Pentreath [4] before establishing his own studio in 2015.

Intended to feel much like a traditional Parisian eatery, the space has been finished with stripy seating banquettes and wooden bistro chairs from Thonet. Through his drawings, Luke strives to evoke a magical place, inspired in part by his personal experiences – he loves Italy, for example, the people, the food, the culture – and in part by his love for the past – an ancient past, mythological, an age of elegance where there were no computers or highways. But though it is a place of imagination, brightly colored and playful, it is never nostalgic, but rather a place where it's fun to let yourself get carried away. Among all the classical treasure sits a postmodern 1980s Memphis Milano table lamp by Ettore Sottsass. Photograph: Mark C. O’Flaherty/The Guardian Daily updates on the latest design and architecture vacancies advertised on Dezeen Jobs. Plus occasional news. Dezeen Jobs Weekly Artist and designer Luke Edward Hall, based in London, has taken the design world by storm with his playful, nostalgic, charming, and sophisticated interiors, fabrics, ceramics, furniture, stationery, prints, drawings, and paintings. With a strong belief that his artwork, décor, and interior design convey “happiness and optimism,” whimsical and romantic themes and a bright coluor palette are purposeful hallmarks of the wunderkind’s aesthetic.
