This is proof you can never have too many colours and patterns (as long as they are similar in tones) and it together it makes a home so cozy and inviting and is complete eye candy. I adore this Kensington family home designed by Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler.

Ok I’m packing my bags and moving to Picts Hill, Langport in Somerset. Though luckily I can save myself the trip because it looks like this incredible home is in the process of being sold. I am IN LOVE with this. Gothic style and stained glass windows, Victorian minton tile floors, many fireplaces, acres of land to landscape… I’d have to do something with that kitchen though. It’s as bland as a hospital room. Listed with Roderick Thomas.

The apartment has a clock chip in a partial enfilade and is located in the attic of a tenement house dating back to 1905. A marble fireplace constitutes the central part of the interior. A hand-painted ceiling refers to the Dutch painting. The walls are covered with wooden panels. Single herringbone pattern of the wooden floor is painted in white. The apartment is furnished with originally designed furniture and furniture systems which are tailor-made according to a design. (Some of this might not be translating correctly from Polish)
This project by Polish architect and colour designer Karolina Rochman-Drohomirecka is titled “Red Stove” but I think it really needs to be “Red Stove and Yellow Walls”. The graphic trim in the kitchen with the fun red stove, the lemon yellow central area with the gorgeous painted floral design on the black ceiling are really making a statement. Though I will admit I am 100% not on board with the white painted herringbone wood floor (whyyyyyyyyy?????).

On the wintery grey days that we first visited the house, we felt that it needed a big injection of colour and warmth. Previously all the walls were a bright white, which starkly contrasted with a green slate floor and oak woodwork. We loved the Arts & Crafts style, along with the storybook setting right on the banks of the estuary so our design developed this sense of nostalgia through the use of William Morris and Voysey wallpapers, heirloom textiles, and plenty of beautiful antiques.
So glad the homeowners are now rid of the white that this home clearly wasn’t in the mood for. Love all the beautiful colours and that yellow floral wallpaper is the prettiest! Designed by COAL Architecture & Interior Design.

A smile spreads across my face every time I see these photos. The joy! The fun! The fabulous pastels! It’s a sherbert cone of a house for owners who are not afraid of colour and personality. Cheerful, bright and brilliant. Brook Green by East London architectural interior design studio Golden Design.
