The brief was “English rocker retires to the countryside and revamps a farmhouse”. A home built in the 1760s get a new lease on life from Havilande Whitcomb Design who brought in some bright colours, modern art and graphic patterns. Love how current and energetic this feels.

Back in 2016 Jo had featured a couple of projects (here and here) by Paris design firm Kierszbaum Intérieurs, and what she noted about this firm still stands 100% true. Eclectic in style, exuberant in taste, fun and fab meets OTT, it is like a magpie collection of trinkets and treasures. EXACTLY! It’s such a unique mélange of colours and styles. This is a random and fabulous assortment from their portfolio.

More liveable glamour by the talented Lisa Gilmore, but this time it is art deco mixed with arts and crafts. William Morris wallpaper pairs with Frank Lloyd Wright fabric in the study. Some leopard print chairs add some extra ZING in the living room. Random – just how I like my interiors.

When Batiik Studio transformed an old workshop in the 9th Arrondissement into a chic Parisian apartment the emphasis was on soaring ceilings and light circulating throughout the space. A neutral colour palette is matched with natural materials while a stunning gallery wall of art climbs the stairs in this warm and inviting three level home.

Lorenzo Castillo is an antiques dealer and interior designer from Madrid and I think he’s my new hero. Jo featured his caramel/black/white home back in 2015 here. I was recently on his website and found another iteration of his home, as seen in this first group of photos. When doing some googling to learn more about his home I found this article in Elle Decor featuring more of his home (yet another earlier iteration?) from 2012 (with photos by Simon Upton), which below are the second set of photos. In any case, I am completely smitten with all of the colours, patterns, layers, textures, styles. It is an eclectic lovers bible on how to nail maximalism.
