Justine Hugh-Jones encore

Posted on Fri, 5 Jul 2013 by midcenturyjo

I feel like diving into these images. Hold my breath, dive through my computer screen and surface refreshed in rooms that hum with vibrancy and personality. Sometimes just a glimpse of something inspiring and beautiful clears my mind and stirs my design soul. Like interior designer Justine Hugh-Jones‘ new website. Scroll and drink deep, scroll and drink deep. Tumble turn and do it all over again.

Minimalist in the extreme and as far away from a simple shower in a rain forest as you could imagine but that’s all I can think of as I stare in wonder at this bathroom by Dutch interior architects Jasper Jansen and Jeroen Dellensen of i29. The hum of insects and enough humidity from the shower and I’d be there.

Colour splash

A stylish combination of traditional features and colourful contemporary design, this South Yarra renovation by architectural firm Techne packs a punch with personality, colour and a killer art collection. It’s a pared back modern living space that revels in the grand proportions of the old house.  Of course the house looks even more spectacular thanks to the amazing photography by Graeme Boyle.

From minimalist, edgy and contemporary to big city sleek and back again to casual family elegance. It’s easy to see why New York based interior designer Elizabeth Bolognino is so sought after. Attention to detail, custom pieces, a playful approach to colour. It’s tailored yet young and fresh.
