More love for Haus Love Interiors

Posted on Thu, 25 Mar 2021 by midcenturyjo

How could I not share one more house by Heidi Woodman and the team at Indianapolis-based Haus Love Interiors? Rich gold and mustard accents anchor the white of the living room while earthy tones warm the kitchen and the relaxed bedrooms. Beautiful and very liveable.

Feeling blue

Posted on Thu, 25 Mar 2021 by midcenturyjo

I’m not really feeling blue. I’m feeling the blues. Bright white rooms are the perfect foil for the rich accent blues. And what goes with blue? Why brown of course and that brown mid century console with the rich earthy tones of the large abstract artwork is the perfect balance. Another great house by New York-based interior designer Crystal Sinclair.

European and neutral vibes

Posted on Wed, 24 Mar 2021 by KiM

This project by Zoë Feldman Design is world’s apart from the last project I shared. And while the vibe here is a completely 180 it is also tugging at my heartstrings. Inspired by our client’s Portuguese background, we drew upon the history and unique design elements of this picturesque European country to transform the pictured Palisades townhome from dated to “old-world.” The plaster walls and soft curves that define the home’s esthetic are carried throughout the core spaces. Floating marble shelves combined with upper and lower cabinetry in the kitchen fuses function with decoration for the ultimate kitchen design. We enjoyed mixing metal finishes throughout the kitchen & bathrooms to produce a design that is well-curated through tension and balance. Built-ins and hidden closet doors are strategically placed in almost every room to capitalize on any opportunity to maximize storage.

Maximalism with colour and pattern

Posted on Wed, 24 Mar 2021 by KiM

WOW there is alot going on in this home and I REALLY love it. Zoë Feldman Design took a very unique approach with the choices of colours and patterns throughout the home and the result is alot of fun and fabulously eclectic. Also, if you ever doubted the power of high gloss paint….
Color, pattern, & texture fill this eclectic Spring Valley home. Our client’s, fans of all things British, fashion, and believers in the “more is more” adage, quickly challenged us to find our inner maximalists. However, the real task was to create cohesion in such a layered and whimsical space. Our goal was to show enough restraint, without sacrificing any interest, to curate a natural relationship between the spaces. We utilized patterns and colors that one may not typically view as neutral to create a sense of layered complexity. In the entry, the leopard print stair runner serves as an organic neutral that enhances the effect of the floral patterned wallcovering. Throughout the home, small scale pattern serves as a complimentary juxtaposition to larger scale prints in a way that a solid would never be able to achieve. The kitchen serves as relief, a sort of palette cleanser, by using tonality over prints. The entire space is a study in balance leaving one to question everything they ever thought was true about neutral.

Spanish Forest Villa

Posted on Tue, 23 Mar 2021 by midcenturyjo

A Spanish villa located in a pine forest in Valakampiai a district in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius.  Not quite what you are expecting?  Interior designers Gabija Pažarskytė and Karolina Juodeškaitė of Dizaino Virtuvė have been inspired by the Mediterranean for this four storey house nestled amongst the trees. A materials palette of  concrete, rattan, stone and ceramics recalls Spain while for me the standout features are the cast iron tiles and statement blue spiral staircase rising from the foyer to the first floor. Handcrafted timber beams, a thatch roof, stylish sauna area and the very first squat toilet we have featured on the blog complete the highlights.
