Watermill estate

This is why I admire interior designers so much. Their attention to detail is something I can barely wrap my brain around. To come up with so many colour combinations and patterns and architectural details in every single room….blows my mind. This home by Steven Gambrel again has me in complete awe of all of these details in every square inch.

La Granada

Azar Fattahi and Lia McNairy of LALA Reimagined “approach and define design as an ‘art of living’ by pushing boundaries and challenging rules with their mix of contemporary and vintage.” This Hollywood is packed with pattern, colour and curves. The result is fun, fresh, forward and definitely not beige.

A family home full of grace

Full of Grace Interiors that is. This house in the Melbourne suburb of Ivanhoe has been transformed by Therese Carrodus into a colourful family home.

“The owners of this 1940’s two-storey property engaged Full Of Grace to transform their existing home into a space that would be functionally liveable as well as visually stimulating. Their brief was to seamlessly transcend the design eras from the 1940’s to present day combining retro glamour with modern day functionality.”

A small attic apartment in Paris

Posted on Wed, 13 Jul 2022 by KiM

25 m2 (270 sq ft) in the sky of Paris. A 180° view of the roofs of Paris, the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré Coeur. Having recovered the attic space changed everything for this small flat with a generous view. We gained height and gave character to the whole by playing with transparency and colours. The entrance allows you to store your belongings discreetly in a cupboard that blends into the wall and hides the toilet. To access the mezzanine, which offers additional sleeping space, I designed a piece of furniture with multiple functions, as I like them, which blossoms in the living room: library, desk and staircase. Practical and beautiful. The small glass roof on the mezzanine and the bookcase with its columns stretch the height of the room. And the little bench/bed that allows the staircase to sit well, acts as a sofa and has fun looking a bit pretentious with a Frey Indian
Marianne Evennou nails another project injecting lots of colour and storage into a tiny space making it stylish and very functional.

A liveable family home

Posted on Wed, 13 Jul 2022 by KiM

The previous owners of this elegant house had prioritised style over practicality. Our task was to make this a home that works for every member of the family. On the ground floor, both reception rooms have been painted in soft, neutral shades accented by bold, colour-blocked joinery. During the day, the rooms provide a comfortable, calm space to work or relax. Come the evening, the floor-to-ceiling curtains are drawn and the rooms become a cocooning space for reading or entertaining. A joyous playroom has been created in the basement. On the upper floors, the master bedroom and dressing room is now a soft, enveloping grown-up space, whilst the children’s rooms have been wrapped in lively patterns and furnished with a combination of contemporary and antique furniture.
