“A nod to the architectural history of this 1925 home came to mind when designing spaces in this home. Preserving original elements and details of the home was a lovely juxtaposition with it’s newly designed kitchen and layers of upholstery. We reconfigured the layout to suit the family’s lifestyle, transforming imposing spaces into the large open plan living and dining room that works comfortably for daily use and entertaining.”

Antique furniture mixed with beautiful yet functional textiles, stone and glass, stripe and gingham. Cosy and casual with a timeless take on family living. Wallaroy Rd by Pheobe Nicol.

We kept the footprint of this house in Brooklyn’s Manhattan Beach neighborhood but otherwise reimagined it from the ground up.  Our clients loved French design, but a step closer to home felt better to us, and in the end we settled on drawing our inspiration from the French Quarter (of New Orleans) instead. Beautiful recurring arches, thick walls and moldings, a calming color palette, and the best possible use of the relatively narrow space made a cozy welcoming home for our clients, a family of four.  The widest room, at the end of the house overlooking the pool, is the one everyone seems to gravitate to anyway; the kitchen.  In this case it includes a cushy generous sectional sofa so everyone can gather while dinner is being prepared.

I regularly dream about having a kitchen big enough for lounging on a sofa. I’d actually settle for my husband and I being able to cook meals together but you have to dream big right? The millwork in this house is incredible and I suggest taking a close look at it as you scroll through. By Jessica Helgerson Interior Design. Photos: Aaron Leitz

I bow down to Heidi Caillier once again. The queen of moody, vintage vibin’, colourful but in the dreamist way spaces that only she can nail this well each and every time. I am constantly on the fence about what my favourite style is but maybe I should just start saying “the Heidi way”. This San Francisco pied-à-terre is perfection. Photos: Haris Kenjar

We have always been committed to creating interiors which have longevity, and this is best illustrated in our most recent project, a Grade II five-bedroom listed house in Primrose Hill – where we got to work once again with previous clients. We were tasked with reusing furniture from their smaller property however, we were at pains to ensure that whilst reusing the furniture we didn’t want to make it feel like the same interior transplanted into a different, albeit a bigger building. What quickly became apparent and evolved was the scheme thrived on contrast – masculine touches were set against feminine curvaceous furnishings, and we were able to create friction throughout whilst highlighting the individuality and integrity of each of the pieces in it.

Another wonderful home designed by Maddux Creative where the colour combinations are as unique as the furniture and the eclectic tones are winning me over. Photos: Michael Sinclair
