The Arts and Crafts main hall at Blackwell House with peacock frieze and carved rowan berries. The copper lights once hung over a billiard table and were found in a cupboard after years of neglect. #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

The Art Deco presidential salon in Prague’s National Monument #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

An entrance to impress in Hamburg Kunsthalle #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

The age of elegance in Prague’s Grand Hotel Europa. I plucked up the courage to go in as a student 30+ years ago and loved its faded grandeur. Now newly renovated but thankfully the glorious Art Nouveau jewels are preserved, just shining a little brighter. #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

The Stasi Museum in their former Berlin headquarters #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

Sprengel Museum, Hannover. Two hours to kill after a cancelled train connection so sprinted here and very glad we did. Whenever in a new town, ALWAYS head for the art gallery! #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

This is absolutely transfixing TV. Ian McKellen brings LS Lowry’s voice to life from tape recordings, giving fascinating insights into his art and life. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

None of these elements should work together but I love it 💛 At the Brummel House, designed by Adolf Loos. The painting is by their cousin Edita ‘Tita’ Hirschová, a fashion designer and illustrator who worked in Paris. She was killed in Auschwitz. #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

I revisited Hamburg last week and had to see the Verner Panton room again. Designed for Spiegel publishing house in 1969, people ate lunch here every day 🤩 #WeekIforInteriors #AlphabetChallenge 📷

Oh I love this Dutch idea of ‘schemeren’ or watching the dusk come in. How beautiful 🌒 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
