This maisonette flat running over the top two floors and loft of this Victorian terrace was a blank canvass and complete labour of love. The property was run down and in a sorry state of disrepair. The brief was to turn it into a warm and inviting family home for a working mum and her young son. What’s more, colour, pattern, eclectic touches and vintage finds were to be positively encouraged! With the requirement to store thousands of books we kept the vaulted ceiling and created bespoke wall to ceiling joinery to form the backdrop and heart of this open plan space.
I love how considered and unique this home is and the colours really make it homey. Designed by Chiswick (West London) based Brooke Copp-Barton.

When dealing with a small space, DO NOT think you need to avoid average/large sized furniture and colour and pattern. In the case of Cath Beckett of design firm Yellow London, her 2 bedroom flat in Notting Hill, London is bold and quirky and has things like a large sofa in the middle of her living room, and a wacky wallpaper (Pierre Fray’s Plein Eté) in her teeny dining room. Her space is super cozy and full of personality and I could not love it more.

“Led by its Founder and Principal Designer, Lisa Berman, Studio Gutow creates spaces with a unique take on modern design grounded in history. Lisa’s goal is to bring authenticity to each project. Not only in the selection of furniture, lighting and art but in the use of a natural palette of materials and textures.”

Think light, bright spaces, a home renewed. Collected, personal and beautiful. Santiago Drive by Studio Gutow.

New homes tend to be so sterile and void of interesting architectural details. But not when Anne McDonald is on the project. A stairwell with cutouts that make it really pop, a double sided masonry fireplace and some shiplap/paneled walls really help provide an old world, vintage vibe.

This classic 1929 Spanish-style colonial in the hills of Los Feliz is the home of Proem co-founder, Marie Trohman. In her own words are notoriously their own worst clients. Whatever struggles she had with herself during the 2 year renovation and build the result is a stylish family home.
