Design DNA is the Homes & Gardens series that breaks down beautiful rooms into their essential elements. Each installment dissects one interior and shows readers exactly what makes it work, from the anchor furniture and layout choices to color, lighting, and styling details.
There’s a fine line between chaotic and charming. Most personality-packed interiors veer into the former. But done right, a colorful, dynamic room can feel just as layered, intentional, and sophisticated as one that plays it safe. That balance comes to life in a sun-drenched kitchen-breakfast room in Sussex, designed by Phoebe Hollond of Studio Hollond.
