Colourful drama in a NYC townhome

Posted on Thu, 27 Apr 2023 by KiM

Classic, antique furnishings with really bold and unique colour combinations is how Garrow Kedigian created drama in this Turtle Bay, NYC townhome. Primary colours never looked so fabulous. Photos: Trevor Parker.

The ground floor of this Victorian terrace had been extended over time, creating a series of seemingly purposeless, poorly-lit rooms. Our task was to reorganise the layout to create a warm yet hard-working family home in which each room serves a purpose. Home to a young family, it was important that the ground floor had space for both the children and the adults. Immediately opposite the front door was a functionless room that led through to the kitchen. By relocating the entrance to this room – adding steps and a glazed pocket door – we were able to create a cocooning TV snug for the children. Bespoke joinery lines the walls, whilst a weighty curtain encloses the room in the evenings. The drawing room has now become TV-free and is furnished with reupholstered mid-century pieces already in the clients’ possession. It leads on to a library, which makes use of what was a functionless thoroughfare – a feature of most Victorian terraces. A flight of burgundy steps connects the library to the kitchen, which now has a joyous palette of lilac and yellow. A crisp tide line of colour adds character to the walls, whilst a range of considered lighting options conjure different moods.
Another pat on the back for designer Sarah Brown whose use of colour is always so unique and cheerful. And she’s once again making me think a yellow kitchen is the ultimate.

A candy coloured apartment in Hampstead

Such pretty, happy candy-inspired colours in this 3 bedroom apartment in Hampstead. A child’s dream. And frankly some adults too. Could you live with these colours, particularly all that pink? Maybe not my first choice but I’d find a way to rock it 😉 Available as a location home via Shoot Factory.

A colourful family home in London

Posted on Mon, 20 Mar 2023 by KiM

Inspired by the joyful and eclectic atmosphere of the home in the ‘Paddington’ films we created a vibrant, pattern filled home for design lovers, with an emphasis on practical solutions for family life and interesting design details throughout.
This could not be more perfect for a family with young kids. The colours are so fresh and incredibly fun and have such a wonderful energy. Immediately brings a smile to my face. Also how can you not love a yellow kitchen? Designed by James Arkoulis and Saskia Howard of Howark Design (***update: and as per the comments, also designed by Robert Atherton Design)

Expertly considered, the interiors unfold across some 2,209 sq ft, and a lovely private garden is situated at the rear.
