8 home ideas from Gail’s bakery co-founder Tom Molnar

Homes & gardens editor's note: Create a contemporary and comfortable sitting room by arranging same-subject pictures on a feature wall.

Homes & gardens editor’s note: Be bold with fabrics that you can change according to the season.

Neat and angular Clio armchairs from the Maxalto collection at B&B Italia (bebitalia.com) are softened by cushions in a witty animal print fabric from House of Hackney (houseofhackney.com).

Homes & gardens editor’s note: See everyday objects in new ways.

The panels in this Tonelli Stati D’animo (tonellidesign.com) mirror can be set at varying angles to give an exciting reflection of the room.

Homes & gardens editor’s note: Contrast back and white for a clean, modern look in a kitchen/diner.

Tom's bright white dining area is furnished with contrasting black Thonet 404F armchairs set around a Naan table by Cassina (cassina.com).

Homes & gardens editor’s note: Make a focal point of matching kitchen essentials like stainless-steel tools, and tidy the rest away.

A well-equipped kitchen is an important part of Tom’s home life. The Boffi kitchen (boffiuk.com) in white and stainless steel and Gaggenau appliances offer the perfect balance of function and style.

Homes & gardens editor’s note: Make good use of a small space with a clever storage solution.

Here, a bookshelf hung on the half-landing holds books horizontally.

Homes & gardens editor’s note: Find space for your hobbies. Set aside a corner or turn your collection into a wall display - think vintage tennis rackets hung in the hall!

The budding musicians of the house love to practice at the small grand piano at the back of the sitting room.
