Fun with colour and pattern in Miami

Posted on Tue, 14 Jan 2025 by KiM

 This five-bedroom 1960s ranch-style house in Miami underwent a huge transformation, turning it into a wonderfully bright and whimsical home with the help of many Josef Frank fabrics and colours pulled from them. Such vibrant and fun energy exuded from every room. Designed by Bunsa Studio. Photos: Nicole Franzen.



Vaughan Design & Development recently took on the interior design for a spacious six-bedroom family home in Harpenden in Hertfordshire, England. As a new build, the goal was to add warmth, character and functionality to accommodate the clients’ busy lives with young children. Advocates of colour and playful design, Vaughan also needed practical features like a first-floor laundry, boot room, large playroom and luxurious adult spaces. The studio blended natural materials with layered details, traditional fittings and vibrant elements creating a bright, joyful home tailored to the family’s needs.

“Capturing the spirit of Nantucket Island, The Beachside Hotel serves as a unique hospitality destination for guest of all walks of life. With diverse programming and uncommon offerings guests are invited to choose their own adventure across the sprawling property. Building on the existing foundation and history of The Beachside the design draws on the island’s rich past to shape its bright future.”

Led by Jeremy Levitt and Danu Kennedy, the Parts and Labor Design’s dynamic team delivers thoughtful, transformative designs. Each project begins with collaborative discovery, blending narrative-driven concepts, integrated functionality, and custom details to craft spaces with unique identities and tailored guest experiences.

A stone farmhouse in the English countryside

Posted on Wed, 8 Jan 2025 by KiM

Blank Slate was appointed to oversee the modernization and complete refurbishment of a quintessential, stone farmhouse set in the English countryside. Bari and her team sympathetically stripped the property back, preserving the original structure, and everything they added matched the house’s history and unique character. Material selection was crucial for this project—sourcing new oak beams to match the original ones, and adding open joists throughout the new extension to make the new build feel less new. They installed character-grade oak floors in creamy tones of shale, limed and smoked, cobbles for the boot room and utility, and limestone checkerboard tiles in the entry hall to give it a reclaimed and found feel. Blank Slate moved the entrance to the center, creating perfect symmetry and a large open reception area with a bespoke staircase featuring large curved steps at the base. Bari added rich marble to each of the bathrooms, creating feature showers in both the family bathroom and the en-suite. As a result, the Wiltshire Farmhouse project is a calm haven with a neutral palette of earthy tones and layered textures, embodying the Blank Slate approach perfectly.
Quite literally my dream home. This is perfect in every way. I’d just add a smidge more colour and pattern and happily live here for the rest of my days. (I’m going to be dreaming about that limestone checkerboard entry for the rest of my days)
