Nina Freudenberger of Freudenberger Design Studio has transformed a former Californian surf shack into a relaxed and inviting retreat. Drawing on retro influences and a love of natural materials, the home is filled with warm wood tones across floors, walls and furnishings. The result is a laid-back, stylish getaway that reflects Freudenberger’s evolving aesthetic blending 70s seaside charm with her signature approach to creating spaces that feel personal, timeless, and effortlessly livable.

Posted on Wed, 4 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

This Chelsea High Line apartment by Lucy Harris offers a calm, refined escape above the bustle of the city. Designed as a restful pied-à-terre, the space features a relaxed, open-plan layout enriched with warm tones, curved forms, and soft textures. Lucy and her team introduced custom furnishings and layered botanical wallcoverings to create depth and personality. Defined zones for living, working, and entertaining lend the home a sense of intimacy, sophistication, and effortless comfort.

I love the blend of traditional and contemporary styles in this beautiful Highlands fishing lodge designed by London-based Harriet Sale. Her layered aesthetic incorporates textures, patterns, and pieces with provenance, and really warm and liveable colours that add such a welcoming feel. A lodge with impeccable style.

Fiona Duke Interiors transformed this Edwardian family home in Essex through a complete reconfiguration and extension of both floors. The design blends modern and vintage elements to create an elegant yet relaxed aesthetic that feels effortless. With a focus on authenticity and livability, the space was fully modernised and thoughtfully planned throughout, reflecting the studio’s belief that great interior design can positively impact how people feel in their homes.
