Pale, rustic earthy and as cozy as can be. I love this Winshester Avenue, West London home currently for sale by Domus Nova. At the end of a row of red-brick homes and gently curving turrets, this grand five-bedroom property is a modern take on period proportions. Bright light, spacious rooms and four floors of considered design. Past the driveway, enter on the ground floor, where a double reception room is zoned into a sitting room with an open fire, and another sitting room, lined with shelves and bookcases – currently used as a study space. Downstairs, a second lounge – its lower-level position and raised projector create the perfect home cinema setting. In the kitchen, solid wood floors give way to flagstone floors, while rustic wood and rattan are the perfect foil for marble worktops. Tucked away in the corner, a family snug. Steel-framed doors lead on to the walled terrace and garden beyond – note the al-fresco fireplace. At the end of the beautifully landscaped garden, a generous studio (currently used as a home gym) has potential to be reimagined as guest quarters – a rare feature for a city-centre postcode. Five lofty bedrooms are spread across the upper levels. Canted bay windows keep the master bedroom naturally bright. It’s served by a zellige-tiled en suite bathroom. Four further bedrooms are serene retreats; one en suite room is tucked into the eaves and another has access to a secluded decked roof terrace.

Encore, encore!

Oh the drama! Oh the theatre! Oh the inspiration! What else would you expect from Lyon-based designer Claude Cartier? A master of colour, texture and pattern his work may divide opinions but it is always on the cutting edge of design.

A castle-like former hunting lodge

Posted on Sun, 5 Dec 2021 by KiM

I am suffering from heart palpitations over this absolutely magical home designed by Blyth-Collinson Interiors. Especially the exterior. Seriously – be still my heart.
Set in famous and bucolic grounds, this residence has a fascinating history and has been used in various ways, most notably as a hunting lodge. With this as inspiration, we turned a somewhat bland interior into a warm and sophisticated home, where our client’s extensive collection of important art and antiques could be displayed to their best advantage. Set over several levels, we refurbished rooms, installed furnishings, curtains, and fittings, and worked with specialist experts to ensure artworks were hung correctly. We commissioned bespoke furniture and cabinetry to blend seamlessly into the scheme and bedroom walls were upholstered with exquisite fabrics.  From cushions to candles, furnishings to fabrics, we created a convivial atmosphere, where our client loves to entertain and enjoy the pristine country surrounds. 

Neutral in Madrid

Posted on Thu, 2 Dec 2021 by midcenturyjo

With its restrained, neutral colour palette, eclectic mix of furniture, cool art and layer upon layer of texture this apartment by Madrid-based Estudio María Santos is sophisticated but not stuffy, stylish and welcoming. Think light flowing in through tall windows and a preference for natural materials like wood, stone metal and linen.

The Idlewild

Posted on Wed, 1 Dec 2021 by KiM

A contemporary home in Hillsborough, California, with an old soul, the Idlewild honors its turn-of-the-century architecture with a new mien. Lilting and whimsical, it delights in the details. Enfolded in rustic grounds, the Idlewild casts a dreamy chiaroscuro, bringing depth to the past and light to the present. Rich browns, verdant greens, and sweet creams are piqued by amber, poppy, indigo, and pink. Decorative Arts and Crafts textiles ornament linens and wools and court recherché collectibles, candelabras, and art tended by picturesque glazing and pastoral redwood paneling, both original and revived. Romantic, enchanting, sincere, the Idlewild woos: a fairytale for a modern family. Enchanting this really is! Designed by Chroma. (Photos: Shade Degges)
