An artful Upper East Side townhouse

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025 by midcenturyjo

On the Upper East Side, Australian interior designer Greg Natale’s New York townhouse reflects the city’s vibrant spirit and its owner’s global influences. Once a mixed-use building, it now blends Italian craftsmanship and Parisian flair. Natale reinstated the original two-door entrance and infused the interiors with bold marble, vintage finds, and bespoke details like the floral chandelier by Crizu. Inspired by a pink and green palette, the layered design celebrates art, culture, and creativity, with the ground floor serving as a dedicated art school.

Château chic in North Carolina

Posted on Sun, 13 Apr 2025 by KiM

Taking a break from my usual post of a magnificent architectural but typically horribly decorated châteaux to show you an example of what a château decorated with skills (and lots of to die for French antiques) could look like. Without Ikea outdoor furniture in the living room or bedsheet covered armchairs.
Located in a wooded glen on the edge of a picturesque lake in North Carolina, this chateau-style home was ready for interior design. The owners had collected a warehouse full of architectural antiques from France. Always ready for a challenge, Barry Dixon agreed to the project, realizing his task would be much like assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle. He had to integrate all the pieces together to form a coherent interior, one with the Gallic character and charm of a medieval French chateau combined with the livability of a twenty-first-century home for a modern American Family.

From the moment you step through the front door, the glimpses of the garden filter softly through Lillelund (“little forest”) – a name that honours the client’s Danish heritage and speaks to a sense of tranquillity and nature. The 1914 Californian Bungalow has been reimagined by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects with a modern addition, creating a dynamic interplay between light-filled new spaces and heritage details like scalloped ceilings and brick arches. An arched portal signifies the transition from old to new, where vaulted ceilings, a floating concrete island and mesmerising curves elevate the living zone. Rich with family history and artistic collaboration, the home reflects a timeless design grounded in beauty, memory and craft.

An art lover’s Brooklyn townhouse

Posted on Thu, 10 Apr 2025 by KiM

I am completely smitten with this Brooklyn townhouse designed by David Lucido. It gives artsy museum vibes but in the best possible way. I love all of the warmth and cozy furnishings yet it’s totally chic, with beautiful colours to add drama and extra coziness in some of the spaces. I can only imagine the parties and gatherings the owner must host. Only cool people allowed 😉 Photos: Ori Harpaz.

Armada Cottage in the Cotswolds

Posted on Thu, 10 Apr 2025 by KiM

When we started updating this 15th-century Cotswolds cottage, it was tired and several areas needed urgent attention. We updated the electrics, replaced the kitchen & bathrooms, restored & improved the flooring & redecorated throughout. We used the colours of the local countryside as our inspiration- damson, moss, dandelion & chestnut which mix comfortably with unfussy antiques & modern art.
Imperfect Interiors did an incredible job turning this into the most charming and countryside getaway that you can rent (more info here) for your own relaxing escape.
