It can be daunting taking on the renovation of a house by a renowned architect but Perth-based interior design studio LAHAUS, known for their refined, functional spaces created a sophisticated aesthetic with casual undertones. The emphasis is on a modern materials palette and a monochromatic colour scheme.
I’m real estate stalking an elegant two bedroom split level apartment with private courtyard garden located over the upper and lower-ground floors of a converted terrace house in London’s Stoke Newington. I wish I wasn’t because I can’t afford it but a girl can dream right? I love the contemporary aesthetic and the generous Victorian rooms. Light filled and lovely. I’d just need to rearrange the second bedroom. Farleigh Road, London N16 via The Modern House.
Between the gold leaf ceiling and the unique kitchen cabinetry, I am in love with this NoLita penthouse. Another project designed by Havilande Whitcomb Design. Subtle elegance and sophistication with a refined edge.
This, friends, is the most perfect cottage ever. Mountain Cottage in Cashiers, NC. Designed by Basic Projects. Our whole office called this cottage ‘The Dream’. Our clients are some of our favorites we’ve ever worked with – not only did they have impeccable taste, they have an amazing view on life and had collected so many little gems to include in the decor – they made this project as fun and easy as it gets. They told us they wanted an “english cottage in the NC mountains”… so with that, we did not fear lots of pattern, plenty of frames and books to cozy up with by the double sided wood burning fireplace and materials that were “family friendly” so the kids could walk through with muddy boots – all staples in the English countryside.

Juniper Tedhams originally trained as a painter and it tells. Considered composition, her use of light as yet another design element. Her next move into antiques honed her curatorial eye, informed her furniture selections. The final move into interior design was a given. Restrained, elegant, sophisticated.
