Modern meets classic meets earthy

Posted on Fri, 26 Jan 2024 by KiM

This is what Kate Marker does best. Neutral, earthy tones with some dark touches, a classic and approachable take on modern that is really cozy and timeless. This massive house has a lot of white going on for my personal taste but Kate manages to make it feel really warm with some of the secondary spaces in darker tones and leaning on wood elements to add texture and keep it from being too bright and stark.

Light House

Posted on Fri, 8 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

“Light House, Vaucluse: An award-winning project for a family who love Italian-inspired design. Described as ‘timeless and lovingly layered’ by Belle and ‘beautifully nuanced’ by Vogue Living.”

And why the name “Light House”? Yes, the design allows light to pour into the rooms through large windows and a central void, but look out the window and you might see another reason. Sophisticated contemporary living by Sydney-based Smac Studio.

A farmhouse on the Yorkshire Moors

Posted on Tue, 21 Nov 2023 by KiM

The design of this Yorkshire farmhouse was inspired by the surrounding moors and architecture and design firm Dunning & Everard created a wonderfully inviting and comfortable home within these vaulted spaces (I love a tall ceiling!). Some of my favourite elements: to die for bookcases in several rooms, a fireplace, a gloriously dark green kitchen with punchy zellige tiles and breathtaking views. (Photos: Brent Darby)

Coastal fusion

Posted on Mon, 20 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

Electric Bowery transformed this ocean-view home by infusing Coastal Spanish influences into its existing Mediterranean character. Emphasizing natural elements and contemporary art, they reimagined the opulent Tuscan style with a lighter touch. Mixing traditional architecture—like soft arched openings and natural plaster—with modern sculptural furniture and vibrant colours, they created a balanced, sophisticated space. Dark wood accents, oxblood tiles, and intricate terracotta flooring framed by Rosso Toscana Marble added depth, while vintage and custom lighting complemented the home’s blend of tradition and modernity.
