Although this is a small, open-plan studio, it doesn't feel cluttered or tight. An eclectic mixture of design influences from Scandi to vintage, it succeeds in being beautifully consistent. We loved its earthy colour palette and use of different textures and materials. The final result is a diverse studio with great space division and plenty of light. This home is located in Casa Chafariz, a recently renovated historical landmark that celebrates Pombaline architecture.

Home truths:
* There is no oven in the kitchen, so avid cooks might need to look elsewhere
* There is no washing machine, so not ideal for longer stays
* There is no door between the living room and the bedroom area, only a small partition
* Although the building has an elevator, the steps that lead to it are steep
* Four guests can sleep in this home, but the last two will be sleeping on a sofa bed
