A designer’s Victorian terraced home in Bath

Posted on Wed, 10 Jan 2024 by KiM

Sean Symington‘s personal residence is a sophisticated and intricately designed house, serving as a direct embodiment of his unique design sensibilities and personal aesthetic. With dedicated effort, Sean and his team painstakingly revitalised this Victorian Terraced house in the heart of Bath, fashioning it into a distinctive and personality-infused property that stands as a genuine testament to the design firm’s proficiency in restoration and interior architecture. Once we obtained the property, Sean and his team embarked on the challenging task of transforming this former student rental house into a distinct and inviting family home, which would also serve as a showcase for our firm’s capabilities. We adorned each room with exquisite fabrics and wallpapers, crafting eclectic and refined interior designs.
This is about as quaint and quintessentially English as it gets. And includes one of the prettiest kitchens I’ve seen.

A cozy countryside retreat

Posted on Mon, 8 Jan 2024 by KiM

A cosy, Grade II Listed, country bolthole – full of charm, warmth and character. A carefully curated blend of old and new was used to create the feeling of a home which has organically evolved over time in a magical, bucolic setting.

Whoever said spaces need to flow and coordinate from one room to the next, and whoever said you can have too much pattern should stop talking and check out this gorgeous Kensington home designed by Studio QD (Jena Quinn and Lucy Derbyshire) and Nicky Haslam. Should you even wrap the wallpaper around the columns? Yes, you should. Should you also add mirrors to frame a doorway? Yes, you should.

A dreamy apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2023 by KiM

This Paris apartment designed by architect Pauline Lorenzi Boisrond of Studio Ett Hem is top to bottom full of WOW factor elements. I mean the kitchen alone – that terracotta (?) tile floor, the beautiful cabinetry, the banquette, a statement tiled fireplace wall (a fireplace in the kitchen, what a dream!)…and then you turn around and there is the coziest black low-ceiling lounge nook. AND THEN you walk into the bathroom and I’m about to pass out over that tiled bathtub alcove. LOVE THIS!!!! Sourcing: Milkshake Interior; photos: BCDF studio.

For the love of an old house

Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023 by midcenturyjo

Laura and McLean Jenkins fell in love with this 1905 Victorian bungalow in Grant Park, Atlanta, drawn by its historical features despite its run-down condition. The couple, an interior designer and architect were drawn by the house’s grand ceilings and original features, meticulously restoring it. Upholding a belief in preserving the history of the spaces while embracing the present, they redesigned spaces, blending diverse styles to create a harmonious yet eclectic home. Each room, a marriage of personal stories and carefully curated details reflects the enduring charm of their cherished old home. GP House by Laura W. Jenkins Interiors.
