Colour and personality

Posted on Thu, 17 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

Layers of moody colours, blues and greens, ochres and rich antique wood. Statement furniture, striking wallpaper and windows draped in stripes and velvets. Cozy and welcoming this renovated Victorian cottage was taken from drab white walls to colourful and packed with personality and style.

A timeless cottage

Posted on Tue, 15 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“A stunning second home for a lovely semi-retired couple, their gorgeous dog and family and friends. With an easy open plan layout, improved areas of storage and a new cosy welcoming interior, this is now a cottage that will be very difficult to leave at the end of the weekend.”

With its timeless mix of natural materials, antiques and a subdued powdery paint scheme this cottage in Wiltshire explores texture, light and space. So calm, so inviting. Bedwyn House by Emma Milne Interiors.

Dusk House

Posted on Fri, 11 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“Dusk House is a tranquil, elegant and quiet celebration of passing time, emotion and shadow. Once an unassuming but tired single-storey residence, this house has been thoughtfully and carefully crafted into an evocative and serene family home. Dusk House embraces light and dark, play and rest, indulgence and restraint.”

As only the French can do

It’s a cultural thing. They just have it. That certain je ne sais quoi. Stylish, chic, with a sense of place and purpose. Like this apartment in Ternes by Paris-based interior designer Marion Collard.

Colour in Madrid

Posted on Mon, 7 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“Our clients wanted to bring part of their origins to Madrid. Plus, they are avid travellers—she is Mexican and he Galician—so they yearned to bring a family influence to their new home. This project is the outcome of a quest to find colour in Madrid, a characteristic marked by the owners’ journeys and origins. We focused on vivid colours: bright yellows, greens, blues and reds, paired with materials like tiles, ceramics and fine wood. They are all cool materials in bright colours brought from distant, exotic locales. White tile combines with blue, red or yellow in different areas and is finished by edging to frame the different zones.”

The hero of this design is tile, colourful, handmade, glorious tile simply but cleverly laid. It’s a celebration of a simple material elevated by clever design. Conde Duque by S+DLH (Sierra Delahiguera).
