“We named this project the Brazilian Treehouse as we wanted it to visually feel like a sexy Stan Getz song. There was a certain romance to this project with our use of organic materials, lush colors and mood tones.”

When your career has included producing and directing music videos then it’s no surprise the rooms you create are a little rock ‘n roll.  Saturated colours and textures as well as a love for statement vintage pieces are typical of Tiffany Howell of Los Angles-based design studio Night Palm. Think edgy yet sophisticated, moody and sensuous.

This isn’t officially a castle but given it definitively has the appearance of one and the fact that it’s called “Castlefields” I think it’s worthy of my Sunday castle feature 🙂
Castlefields is an exceptionally handsome Grade II-listed former hunting lodge set in grounds of a third of an acre. Built in the early 19th century in the Tudor Revival style, it is positioned on the edge of the market town Calne in Wiltshire, within the Calne Conservation Area. Internal accommodation measures some 6,000 sq ft, encompassing six double bedrooms, a suite of attic rooms and an incredibly versatile series of living spaces. The original architectural detailing is highly unique with wonderful original joinery, fenestration, plasterwork, and chimneypieces. It also features exquisite stonework, seen perhaps most notably in the beautiful stone cantilever staircase. Additionally, a separate cottage for ancillary accommodation is currently divided into two independent one-bedroom apartments. This is currently under offer (was for sale for £1,695,000) via Inigo.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. OMG I’d love to work in this gastrobar in Valencia. The tile patterns mimic neighbourhood facades. La Sastrería by design studio Masquespacio.

A cinematic color palette of olive green distemper is the interior version of a camera obscura; moody hues urge one to focus attention on a world beyond – city lights and formidable views –before turning your attention to the crafted interior. Designed specifically for entertaining, this space is intimate during the day and dashing at night. In this 4,000 square foot space, a gathering of people and fine art by masters such as Louis Bourgeois, Mark Grotjahn and Jean Dubuffet mix well in purposefully rustic, modern comfort.  A layered collection of textured textiles, industrial, antique and modern pieces contrast the sleek lines of this penthouse, creating an environment that is at once studious and negligently glamorous.
I love this industrial, rustic and edgy look. Designed by Jane Hallworth.

I spotted this home for sale in Tyresö, Sweden on Historiska Hem and though the interior isn’t very interesting, the exterior sure was! Photo after photo of the most beautifully designed yard, done in a pretty casual but really space effective and lush way. I REALLY love this and it’s great inspiration for anyone with a reasonable amount of space.
