A colourful Edwardian home in London

Posted on Tue, 14 Mar 2023 by KiM

This colourful Edwardian four-bedroom house in Kensal Green was designed by renowned homeware designer Alice Palmer. The house is a playful combination of colours and textures that come together and culminate in warm, vibrant open living spaces. Expertly considered, the interiors unfold across some 2,209 sq ft, and a lovely private garden is situated at the rear. Located in a quiet enclave of London near Queens Park, the house has fantastic transport links and is within walking distance to some of North West London’s finest green spaces.
The colours in this home are…..delicious! I want to eat this home up! For sale via Inigo.

Profusion of pastels

Posted on Wed, 8 Mar 2023 by KiM


The design of this Brook Green terrace, beautifully proportioned and bathed in light, was the result of working collaboratively with a young couple who wanted to create a sophisticated, stylised and colourful home. The Devol kitchen units were repainted, and we sourced a bright pink marble worktop for the island. Our clients’ existing pink artwork was the starting point for the furniture pieces, fabrics and upholstery scheme in the sitting room. In the dressing room we retained the inner wardrobe structures and made new doors – a combination of mirroring and geometric raised panelling transformed the space. In the bathroom, the shower, bath and taps were kept in situ and we fitted the striped floor and wall tiling, designed a bespoke vanity with coloured marble, painted the bath. Purity of colour was an important part of the vision and we worked hard to find the right shades to achieve an interior that feels colourful yet calm and incredibly modern.
Such a pretty, soothing colour palette of pink, yellow, green and blue that has a softness yet fresh energy about it. By London-based Golden Design. (Photos: Tom Carter)

The power of colour

Posted on Tue, 28 Feb 2023 by KiM

This incredible interior design project by Gracinha Viterbo is a stunning display of the power of color. Gracinha has expertly used color to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. She has chosen colors that bring out the best of the space and reflect the natural beauty of the area. The colors used in this project are vibrant and alive, creating an atmosphere full of positive energy. In addition to her use of color, Gracinha has also used furniture and artwork to create a stylish living space. She has selected pieces that are eye-catching, yet functional, and that complement the colors chosen throughout the space. With her careful selection of furniture and artwork, Gracinha has created a living space that is full of character and charm. 
I love how Gracinha took the green in the main living room ceiling down onto the walls a foot or so. It’s dramatic but not overwhelming. And having white hallways gives the eye a break and is also dramatic in its simplicity.

When space is at a premium in places like Paris, I love seeing how designers and architects use their creativity to maximize space and create storage. This Paris apartment isn’t very small (124 m²) but the amount of storage in each room makes me very envious (having lived in old homes with either no closets or tiny ones for many years). Also love the all white backdrop for the fun pops of colour and the black corridor that adds some serious drama. Designed by l’Agence June. (Photos: BCDF studio)

Casamidy’s home in San Miguel de Allende

Posted on Tue, 14 Feb 2023 by KiM

I stumbled upon the San Miguel de Allende home of Jorge Almada and A-M Midy of casamidy as part of a series of properties they own and offer for weekly rentals. Lord have mercy sign me up for a week or 2 here! I still yearn to visit San Miguel one day and this property represents all the good things about that beautiful city – views, character, gorgeous architectural details, unique design, and inviting outdoor spaces.
