An eclectic modern Beirut apartment

Posted on Thu, 5 Apr 2018 by KiM

This Beirut apartment is about as eclectic as you can get, and as a result is utterly fabulous. Home of interior architect Ramy BoutrosBuilt in the late 1920’s, in the heart of Abdel Wahab al Inglizi street, Ramy Boutros’ apartment is an embodiment of the artist’s soul, a living tableau showcasing his esthetic vision. The traditional architecture provides a high ceiling for a light-filled space and a majestic setting for the designer’s imagination to come out and play. RB’s wildest Oriental dreams appear on the walls, which showcase the most exquisite contemporary paintings as a loud testament to his eternal Love affair with Art. Here, every single item tells a captivating story, and they all speak in melodious harmony: from the Hervé van der straeten consoles and mirrors, to Hubert le Gall’s sofas and tables…. From the Oushak carpet to Nabil Nahass’ impressive “Palmiers”… the result is a refined amalgam of the designer’s personal favourite creators.


A loft in SoHo

A wonderful combination of dark and light in this spacious loft in Soho styled by Graham Moss. Lots of fun artwork, great big lounge-y sofas, a sleek kitchen (love the steel display shelving), my favourite wallpaper (Ellie Cashman) and graphic tile in the bathroom make this loft pretty awesome.

Concrete, wood and nature

The modern and simple architecture of this home is appealing to my inner minimalist. Add these massive doors and windows opening to a courtyard and this is about as close to heaven as you can get. By Parisian architecture and design firm Le LAD.

An extensively renovated apartment in Berlin

Posted on Tue, 3 Apr 2018 by KiM

This apartment in Berlin’s Charlottenburg neighbourhood is absolutely breathtaking. Having been extensively renovated, the homeowners were then looking for it to have a calm and comfortable vibe. That’s where Gisbert Pöppler comes in. Understated luxury is the result with bold colours, materials and texture, a modern vibe within classic architecture. (Photos: Wolfgang Stahr)

A renovated apartment in Madrid

Posted on Sun, 1 Apr 2018 by KiM

I am exhausted having spent the last 2 days painting my living room and editing all of the crap I had in there (OMG how did it all fit?!) and rearranging what was staying. I will take photos soon, but you can catch a glimpse on my Instagram. I am not quite finished and have to get organized for an Easter family gathering so I leave you with this absolutely gorgeous apartment I discovered on Nuevo Estilo. It is located in a building built in 1910 in Madrid, and underwent an extensive renovation, but fortunately the original wood support beams and shutters remain. Designed by María Querencia López.
