Moody elegance

Posted on Fri, 9 Aug 2024 by KiM

I wanted to share another fabulous apartment by Tristan Domecq that caught my eye. This one has a bit of a mystical, dream-like quality of understated elegance as Tristan does, with some random unexpected pieces here and there (like the “fat lava” MCM lamp in the second photo). That fireplace, the moldings throughout, arched doors and that kitchen island all help make this spectacular.

Painted white throughout by the previous owner, this apartment had been stripped of all of its original features. The brief was to redesign the entire apartment, including a new kitchen, to create a practical family space that felt comfortable, rich and with character. Guided by the building’s architecture, Max embellished the drawing room with sixteenth-century style panelling, dark painted floorboards and a corner chimney piece. The client was also keen to inject warmth and colour, which was achieved by layering richly coloured paint and wallpaper with sumptuous fabrics and a mix of antique and Max Rollitt Bespoke furniture.
This apartment designed by Max Rollitt has just the right amount of elegance and comfort and country charm. The colours in the kitchen are so delicious I would be quite happy spending hours in there cooking. Photos: Simon Brown.

A fusion of France and Spain

Madrid-based interior designer Tristan Domecq is known for his elegant, European style and I love how he mixes styles and eras together seemingly effortlessly to create a very dynamic and intriguing space. This apartment in Salamanca, Spain has some Spanish influences with some strong French influences at the same time which I love. Why paint yourself into a box when you really don’t need to? Also every doorway should be wrapped in marble, don’t you think? Now that’s taking things to a whole other level of elegance.

Imagine a Parisian apartment blending old-world charm with chic 60s design and modern comforts, transformed by Ola Jachymiak Studio in Paris’s 9th arrondissement. Preserving features like parquet floors and tall wooden doors, Ola’s team enhanced the space with contemporary elements. Restored floors and doors maintain historical essence, while art adds depth. Retro touches like a black-and-white mosaic and bespoke furniture complete the design.
