Built in 1707, this Queen Anne country house in Oxfordshire is home to designer Samantha Todhunter who designed it with many unexpected and magnificent touches that add to its charm. Staircase walls lined with turquoise paperbacked silk, with the stairs covered in Diane von Furstenberg’s ‘Climbing Leopard’ carpet, Phillip Jeffries red grasscloth paper in the drawing room, kitchen cabinetry in one of my favourite colurs – Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster, a glossy dark blue study and the list goes on.

Living large in small

Posted on Wed, 8 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Studio Elroy by LINTEL Studio For Architecture, carved from a heritage building’s basement, showcases the potential of inspired living in a compact space. Spanning a mere 28m2, this self-contained unit ingeniously houses a queen-sized bed, home office, kitchen, living area, wine cellar and bathroom. A protruding joinery unit defines indoor and outdoor spaces while allowing natural light to enter from above. The studio’s cochineal-red paint allows the layout to remain discreet. Instead of street views, changing shades of salmon to garnet, illuminated by sunlight and shadows, mark time inside.

A Venice-comes-to-Camden apartment

Posted on Thu, 26 Oct 2023 by KiM

Back in 2019 I featured the Camden apartment of Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell that was a very colourful combination of mostly green and pink and I fell in love with it. A few years later and maybe a few iterations later, their apartment now has a whole new “Venice” vibe (though still with shades of green and pink). Lots of graphic wallpaper. dark textiles, faux marble, a bold red kitchen topped with a pediment and urns, a lush fabric-laden bedroom make this version of their apartment so much moodier and by far my favourite.

Designer’s own in Rome

Posted on Tue, 19 Sep 2023 by midcenturyjo

In the heart of Colle Oppio, within a historic 1900s building, Rome-based architecture and interior design studio Punto Zero worked its magic on a traditional 115 sqm apartment the home of its founder Giorgio Marchese. The original layout was a classic linear design with rooms all facing outward. However, the space was completely transformed with new volumes and unexpected additions all in the quest for light and the amazing views.
