Emilie Fournet Interiors used some really moody and dramatic colours in this renovated home in Hackney, London. It’s quite an amazing thing, how paint can really elevate a space and help create a mood.

Decorating for the tropics

Posted on Mon, 9 Nov 2020 by KiM

Back in 2018 I was sent a copy of designer Amanda Lindroth‘s book Island Hopping and was mesmerized by her tropical, breezy, timeless style. I stumbled up on her website again the other day and continue to be smitten. With winter coming and the thought of missing out on yet another trip to Mexico, I can use all the tropical inspiration I can get.

Balconies, porches and conservatories…

Posted on Thu, 5 Nov 2020 by KiM

Honestly, my dream house consists of a bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom and like 18 balconies, porches, conservatories, pergolas, decks etc. etc. This house isn’t really my style but lawd half mursey there are sooooo many spaces to enjoy the outdoors! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it. And I LIKE IT! This weekend residence embodies the warmth and charm of historical shingle-style architecture. The three-story home typifies the popular American vernacular with its numerous covered porches and balconies, curved conservatory and teal-green trim. Its design optimizes views of the lakeside setting. The interior design blends rustic and refined, with personal touches throughout, such as the custom de Gournay wallpaper hand-painted with area iconography, and an intricately hand-carved mantel in the master bedroom. In the conservatory, the latticed wood in an ornamental wall panel is painted soft green with a decorative border. Antique, carved panels purchased by the couple were integrated into the doors and paneling of the study. Interior and landscape design: Harrison Design; photos: Gordon Beall.

More colourful maximalism from Brock Forsblom

I can’t get enough of Brock Forsblom‘s daringly vibrant and maximalist style so I am sharing a couple of other projects from his portfolio. This first one is an Upper West Side garden apartment and the second is a West Side pied-à-terre. Fabulous colours. (Photos: Annie Schlechter)
