Santorini Island in Greece boasts some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world.  That alone, as well as the beautiful weather, relaxed lifestyle, delicious food and stunning scenery, puts it high on my ‘to visit’ list!

The Aenaon Villas are idyllically located on the top of a steep slope in Imerovigli village, where you can enjoy wonderful views to the sea, the volcano and the caldera.  In fact Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion!

The crisp white decor gives the interior a fresh, modern feel, whilst the solid wood flooring adds added style and sophistication.  I love the cave-like architecture.  The perfect retreat when you need a break from the hot sunshine.

Interesting staircase design- pleasing to the eye

Beautiful views through the arch window- and how comfy does that couch look??!!

I must admit I’m not the biggest fan of church conversions- it kind of freaks me out a little, the idea of living in a church!  But this conversion is the most amazing I’ve ever seen.  It looks fresh, modern and homely and there’s not an alter or a pew in sight.  The pictures just speak for themselves- absolutely stunning property…

This modern loft conversion in Stockholm will set you back a cool £850 000!  I was a little shocked at the price but it is very desirable and the space is deceptively large…

Open-plan is the way to go these days- maximise your living space!

I like the general layout but I’m itching to sort those books out!  I would have liked to have seen a bit of colour with regards to the table and chairs too.

Although white is fabulously fresh and clean, do you think this is a bit overboard and too clinical or is it just me?

Absolutely stunning bathroom- I could spend hours in there!  Very upmarket

Large windows give the illusion of space and really emphasise the high ceilings here.  Natural light helps to create a tranquil setting.  I love how the main light stems from the partitioning wall- something that little bit different

Apparently, people residing in Amsterdam don’t have curtains, as they like to show that they have nothing to hide.  Fair enough but I’m not sure I’d like my neighbours seeing me in my pink pajamas- or me seeing them for that matter!

Renny Ramakers, co-founder and director of Dutch design laboratory Droog, is one of those brave enough to go without curtains.

What a tranquil living room- the gorgeous high ceilings, large windows and light floorboards all add to the spaciousness.  It must be lovely to be able to fir two large couches in the room and still have lots of space left over.  The couch/bed on the left looks divinely comfortable doesn’t it?!

The living room leads on to Denny’s office space- all open plan.  Grouping furniture and adding a rug all helps to section the areas from one another- naturally this is much easier to do when you have this much space to play with.  Seeing this makes me question why anyone would want walls!

Denny’s office extends around the back of the large bookcase (phew- I was beginning to wonder how and where she keeps all her paperwork!!).  I would love an office space like this- enough room to spread-out and plenty of storage to have all of your things right there at your fingertips.

Yet I can’t get over the whole ‘no curtains’ thing… how would you feel about this?

This modern Scandinavian home is just 42 square metres in size!  It’s amazing what can be achieved within such a small space.  What do you think about the curtain separating the bedroom from the rest of the apartment?  Quirky huh?!

I like how parts of the stonework have been left bare- the bricks look really modern against the white wall and provide an attractive backdrop for the flatscreen.

A rug can help to lay the ‘boundaries’ of an open-plan home

Simple and modern yet very homely-looking with the use of mood lighting, cushions and a snuggly throw

Keep areas uncluttered as much as possible by using clever storage solutions.  Mess will only make the place feel smaller!  How gorgeous are the perspex chairs??
