Photogenic houses

If you’ve ever wondered where interior design magazines stage their photo shoots, you should check out some of the location agencies’ web sites. I’ve been browsing Light Locations recently. There are dozens of wonderful homes (mostly English, although some are overseas) to ogle. Granted, they’re a little depersonalized, as you’d expect. But this is the cream of the crop when it comes to light, space and architectural details. I even recognize a few from memorable features that have graced the pages of my favorite design mags.

There are country houses:

Quirky houses (this is a knitting barn!):

Elegant town houses:

Eclectic houses (remember this from this photo shoot?):

Drop-dead fabulous houses:

Eccentric houses (I remember this one from a Rug Company shoot):

Cool Britannia houses:

Victorian houses:

Farmhouses:

Uber-stylish houses:

‘I-want-to-go-to-Marrakech-now!’ houses:

Go on, I challenge you to find one that isn’t your style…
