A contemporary Swedish apartment

Posted on Thu, 25 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

It may have a small footprint but this apartment in Stockholm’s Södermalm district is big on style … and there’s plenty of room to entertain your friends. The palest of blush pink palette is just the icing on this very contemporary design cake. Mono Apartments by Note Design Studio.

A simple family getaway in Cap Ferret

Posted on Thu, 25 Oct 2018 by midcenturyjo

Is it the weekend yet? If your week is going the way my week is heading then we both might need to escape to a coastal hideaway. As much as we feature high end luxury on the blog secretly I love something a little more simple, a little more laid back. This renovation of a holiday home in France’s Cap Ferret by Atelier Delphine Carrère is my idea of the perfect, simple yet chic getaway.

A renovated apartment in Berlin

How to win me over in 2 steps. 1 – install some crittall doors as a room separator. 2 – install some old-school patterned tile in a “rug” pattern. Studio Karhard + TWArchitecten won me over just like that with this Berlin apartment renovation.

La Cartuja – a whimsical mansion

Posted on Wed, 24 Oct 2018 by KiM

Welcome to the magical and whimsical world of Jorge Cañete of design studio Interior Design PhilosophyThe word Serendipity is crucial in the studio’s philosophy. This world means a « happy accident » or « pleasant surprise »; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful while not specifically searching for it. The ultra-personalized approach of the studio INTERIOR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY suggests creating projects that are inspired by the environment, by the location itself, as well as the client’s personality. In doing so, the resultant of the equation of these three sources of inspiration is unique and coherent every time, by materializing clients’ emotions. Each project starts as a white page where the story and values of the client will be written. Given this philosophy, I would LOVE to get to know the homeowners of this mansion. Also, the way that chandelier is “hung” almost has me in tears it is so beautiful. (I highly suggest you also view Jorge’s portfolio with the sound on)
