Set discreetly on Queensdale Road, in a conservation area near Holland Park, is this generous four-bedroom Victorian home. At the back of the maisonette, a leafy garden, perfect for languorous afternoons soaking up the sun, extends 50 ft behind the house. In front, the living room overlooks a pretty terrace of pastel-coloured houses. The house has been decorated by its current owner, an actress, in a playful and eclectic style inspired by her time spent working at Graham & Green furniture store in Portobello. It is currently filled with a unique combination of antique pieces and colourful furnishings, which provide the perfect backdrop for her art and ceramics.
This home could not be more quaint, inviting and cozy. Give me a big mug of tea, a book and an afghan and plop me on a chair with a cat and leave me be 🙂 Currently for sale via Inigo.

Moody hues in a penthouse by Jane Hallworth

Posted on Fri, 26 Aug 2022 by KiM

A cinematic color palette of olive green distemper is the interior version of a camera obscura; moody hues urge one to focus attention on a world beyond – city lights and formidable views –before turning your attention to the crafted interior. Designed specifically for entertaining, this space is intimate during the day and dashing at night. In this 4,000 square foot space, a gathering of people and fine art by masters such as Louis Bourgeois, Mark Grotjahn and Jean Dubuffet mix well in purposefully rustic, modern comfort.  A layered collection of textured textiles, industrial, antique and modern pieces contrast the sleek lines of this penthouse, creating an environment that is at once studious and negligently glamorous.
I love this industrial, rustic and edgy look. Designed by Jane Hallworth.

Moore House Design encore

Posted on Mon, 28 Mar 2022 by midcenturyjo

Coasters Chance Cottage in Cutler, Maine saw Moore House Design add a modern coastal flair to a 1820s cottage. Both the new extension and the old house have a wabi sabi feel celebrating the natural, the imperfection of old houses and the handmade. Vintage and bespoke furnishings along with beautiful rugs fill the house while simple vignettes please the eye.

See more of this lovely renovation including vendor lists on Moore House Design’s blog.

Playful in Paris

Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021 by midcenturyjo

Time for a virtual getaway in Paris. A mini hotel on the Rue du Bac in the 6th arrondissement by Batiik Studio. Shapes, colours and textures play with each other in a light-hearted way creating visual interest and an interior far from boring traditional hotel rooms.

Because I am now smitten with the easy-going, timeless, neutral style of Moore House Design I thought I would share an assortment of other spaces by this talented firm. Photos: Erin Little, Erin McGinn, Zach Dezon.
