European vibes in a Washington home

Posted on Fri, 17 Nov 2023 by KiM

Sharing another unexpected interior by Studio Gusto – this time for a home in Washington, D.C.. What a lovely surprise this would be walking through the front door. Also I am having a serious dose of library envy. A must-have in the next house! Photos: Stacy Zarin Goldberg.

Bespoke pale pink and blue walls, a kitchen decorated with turrets and finials, murals and tree wallpapers mix with antique and vintage furniture to create the prettiest, eclectic Victorian home in east London designed by Rachel Chudley. I love that it’s precious but not too precious and the colours are sooo soothing. Photos: Paul Massey

Timeless elegance in Brooklyn Heights

Posted on Wed, 25 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

In redesigning this Brooklyn Heights apartment, interior designer Augusta Hoffman has drawn inspiration from the neighbourhood’s elegant brownstones. The space is contemporary yet in harmony with the historic surroundings. A combination of antique and modern furniture, a blending of styles, makes for a unique atmosphere. Small details, like brass accents and a scenic mural, add character. The resulting apartment is a harmonious mix of warmth, sophistication, and subtle drama, inviting without being overpowering.

A colourful and eclectic Cotswolds cottage

Posted on Tue, 24 Oct 2023 by KiM

This drop dead gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds is the weekend home of designer/decorator couple Duncan Campbell and Luke Edward Hall. Full of colour, exuberance, whimsy, and an unparalleled eclecticism, this home is so freaking fabulous I can hardly stand it. If you ever thought about getting a second home thinking it would be a great excuse to try out colours that you don’t have the nerve to use in your primary home, here is proof that you need to make that happen! (Though as you will see in an upcoming post, this talented duo went as crazy with colour in their primary residence). Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna & Billal Taright.

The Farm at Avebury, Wiltshire

Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2023 by KiM

An old stable block in the heart of a family run farm is transformed into a B&B. Situated on a working farm in Wiltshire in a unrivaled location nestled into the rolling hills sits The Farm at Avebury. Five hideaway stables of varying sizes offer guests a break from the outside world. From an interiors point of view we had a lot of fun with colour and pattern, wanting to offer visitors something they didn’t necessarily have at home.
The colourful yet calming vibes of these transformed spaces are exactly what I would want on a vacation to Wiltshire, as opposed to staying in a bland and unwelcoming hotel. Designed by Polly Ashman.
