I absolutely love all the character and personality in this home, care of designer Ben Pentreath. In 2013, we were engaged to work on the interior decoration of a substantial Edwardian house in Hampstead. The fine house was in need of significant refurbishment, and we worked closely with the local Hampstead architects Charlton Brown in developing internal layouts and plans for the new owners, a recently-married young couple. These developed to include an underground swimming pool, new kitchen extension and a significant remodelling of some of the internal spaces. Jointly with the clients, we drew inspiration from the Arts and Crafts, in particular the papers of William Morris, but in combination with other themes and strands that ranged from the late 19th century aesthetic movement, through mid-century modernism, to significant contemporary elements. Surrounded by generous gardens and trees, the house has the hint of a rural atmosphere; this too provided part of the inspiration, and we used soft, natural materials and floor coverings. The mood is designed to be calm and tranquil, but to provide visual richness and stimulation throughout.

Mid century meets modern meets fabulous art collection. The stuff of dreams by the master himself  Jamie Bush. I think I need a sit down and a restorative cup of tea after immersing myself in this amazing home.

“Dare to be different. There is strength and vibrancy in bold texture, tone and material choices. Experimental interiors shift the design world closer to the ideal of truly personalised homes, further away from the repetitive and traditional we’ve come to know.”

Bravo! Embrace bold bathrooms I say especially if they are full of colour and exquisite handmade tiles. Ivanhoe Harem by Melbourne-based Studio Ezra.

A house with beautiful architectural details filled with vintage finds….it really doesn’t get much better than that! Hampshire family home designed by Godrich.

Clean sleek lines, a monochrome palette and a carefully curated collection of modern and mid century classic furniture. Smooth yet tactile white walls and the golden glow of timber. It’s a recipe for fabubulous modern minimalism in Amsterdam by the European design powerhouse Framework.
