Meaning in the moments • New York-based stylist Colin King sees styling as a metaphor for life, offering endless opportunities to view things differently and reveal unexpected magic.

That's the story • We love to hear the thinking behind our finds — what tales will yours soon tell?

BEST ANGLES • The point of this project was to honour and extend a heritage villa's life while advancing its reach.

GOOD • With a bit of luck and an expert collaboration, an almostfamous home has undergone a change of character.

SECRET SERVICE • Behind closed doors at this house, hidden helpers make everyday life immeasurably easier.

OUTLOOK FOR THURSDAY • Your guess is as good as ours, but whatever the weather any day of the week, this home embraces it by design.

Next-gen ambience • It could be curtains for the old guard with these evolutionary, mood-altering offerings on the scene.

FAIR PLAY • Every year, Milan Design Week makes Italy the epicentre of creativity. Here, some Antipodean attendees share what they had a blast doing there.
