The clients had a growing art collection. The interior designer had the cool ideas. The result is a liveable, character-filled home celebrating the lives and lifestyles of the owners. Art House by Melbourne-based Chelsea Hing.

P.S. Does anyone else want to lick those pink marshmallow walls?

Kitesgrove is a London based interior design studio based in the heart of Chelsea. The design team prioritise nuance and originality in all their work, whilst also guaranteeing that comfort, quality and authenticity lie at the heart of the studio’s output. Our collective goal is to give clients a tailored and unique design experience. I love that they can adapt to any style and use colour and pattern to create exciting spaces.

Pink, purple, green, yellow and every shade in between make this home fun, family-friendly, colourful to the max and full of energy. Designed by Atelier ND Interior, it is located outside Amsterdam and owned by actors Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten. How could you not have a smile on your face when you walk through the front door?

We have been featuring the work of renowned photographer Graham Atkins-Hughes for many years and I was delighted to hear from him the other day. He wanted to share the home he recently purchased and renovated (it was in quite a state when he bought it, and there are before photos at the end of this post). It is a triplex apartment in Hackney, East London that is available for photo shoots and features some retro vintage furnishings that has always been his signature style. Graham’s new home is fabulous with a kitchen that is now modern and filled with light from 2 large windows, a luxurious master bedroom with en-suite, a gorgeous modern bathroom tiled with large format tiles resembling polished concrete with corner bath (looove!!!!) and a lofty bedroom that also has great windows.

He’s done such an incredible job with this home, getting rid of the bland and ugly and creating a cool, vintage-vibing place. I had to share some of the before photos given the condition it was in which shows how much of a project this was. Great job Graham!!!

Honoring a treasured past while incorporating the colorful decades of the Haight-Ashbury. This San Francisco home designed by Nicole Hollis is a colourful modern masterpiece with some Moroccan flair. It’s spectacular! I just noticed it has been recently featured on Architectural Digest with more juciy photos and details/sources.
