Brisbane-based Langlois Design‘s brief was to transform the existing residence, giving the architecture a modern lift, and seamlessly blending the clients’ styles. Emphasizing clean lines and layered textures, the home has become a vibrant oasis. The renovation focused on the kitchen, opening up space for better flow and incorporating a round, tiered island bench for functionality. The kitchen’s finishes reflected the clients’ personalities with organic shapes, olive green and teak joinery, terrazzo, mosaic tiles and modern tapware, creating an energizing yet homey atmosphere.

Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.

A bucolic country period property in need of some serious attention, which over a period of two years was sensitively and comprehensively renovated. Spaces were reconfigured to suit this modern and dynamic family, with layered interiors creating a sense of fun and sophistication throughout.
I love this home so much. It’s playful and colourful without being too bold and the colours (especially that yellow in the boot room – ‘Torino’ by Argile) and the patterns in the wallpapers are beautiful. Designed by Studio Peake. Photos: Alexander James.

Is it because it rains alot in the UK that designers seem to have a boatload of fun with colours when designing a home – to combat the gloominess of what’s going on outside? I don’t know what their deal is but they should keep it coming because I am in awe of their willingness to go all out in just about every room. Hats off to Studio Holland for bringing in all sorts of wonderful colours in this full renovation of a large family country house in Sussex.
