A stylish Californian family home

Posted on Tue, 13 Feb 2018 by midcenturyjo

L.A. based interiors firm Alexander Design create spaces that are personal, luxurious and livable. Their work is a mix of contemporary, custom and vintage pieces, richly layered and carefully curated. It’s all about relaxed family living that is stylish yet functional, chic yet authentic, effortlessly elegant. The designer’s own home is the perfect example. Neutral, natural and fabulous.

“The idea of home is a primal and a personal construct. Our mission is to create homes that support us practically, engage us sensorially and nourish us emotionally. Each home is a rational, passionate project—a labour of love.”

A couple of days ago Kim feature the time capsule Dennis Severs’ house. Today I’m once again in Spitalfields, once again in a weaver’s house but this time it’s a contemporary yet sympathetic renovation of a Huguenot Townhouse by Chan + Eayrs.

Can you imagine how what design magic is being conjured up in this fabulous space in Berlin? It’s the workshop, showroom, office and home of Quiet Studios and I’m in love. I wish my creative space was as inspiring.

“There is nothing simple about simplicity. Simplicity is complexity.”

The composition, the texture, the monochromatic palette, the considered choice of pattern, the restraint and careful curation. How deceptively simple and achingly beautiful. Buckhead by Atlanta-based Nancy Braithwaite Interiors.
