Amaroo Watson’s Bay

Posted on Thu, 19 Jan 2017 by midcenturyjo

The perfect bachelor pad with to die for Sydney Harbour views. Want to indulge your James Bond fantasies? This stylish 3 bedroom home is part of the Contemporary Hotels stable and is available for luxurious escapes. Meet you for drinks on the terrace. Vodka martini shaken and not stirred?

Dutch interior designer Robert Kolenik took what he described as a typical small Amsterdam apartment and turned it into a luxurious modern space in neutral tones that appears much larger than it is. As part of his concept, the first thing that interior designer Robert Kolenik did was to design a large wall unit to link together all the spaces in the apartment naturally. In narrower or smaller spaces, most people tend to use smaller pieces of furniture. ‘I do the opposite. By putting in larger pieces, I emphasise a sense of spaciousness in the home. The floating block in dark oak creates a line in the apartment that visually enlarges the space.’ Robert then added in a FOUR METRE LONG sofa (by Minotti) which offers tons of seating and while very long, still keeps the space very open. Those of you with small spaces, take note!

Never enough Black Lacquer

Posted on Wed, 18 Jan 2017 by midcenturyjo

A little black, a little lacquer and some fun punches of colour are what Caitlin Murray is all about. We have featured her work a couple of times in the past (here and here), but there is never enough Black Lacquer 😉

The renovation of this 140 m2 art nouveau apartment in the Eixample district in Barcelona has resulted in a beautiful light-filled, airy home which respects the property’s original elegance while providing contemporary luxuries. Love the restored original floors and ceilings and the design classics of the era juxtaposed with modern pieces. By Barcelona-based design studio vilablanch.
