Wabi Sabi cottage

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

“Our Wabi-Sabi Cottage reflects the essence of the natural world, prioritizing soft, warm textures inspired by the surroundings. The Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy is expressed through the careful use of color, restrained patterns, and surfaces that emphasize simplicity and imperfection, making this home a serene retreat.”

Yond Interiors design homes rooted in a deep sense of place, balancing form and function through proportion, light, and harmony. With reverence for history, craftsmanship, and bespoke or vintage pieces, each space reflects thoughtful detail and the client’s vision.

Kirsten Blazek of A1000XBetter transformed this Spanish-style Ojai home into a soulful retreat grounded in sustainability and warmth. Sun-washed walls, earthy tones, and a thoughtful blend of vintage and contemporary elements create a whimsical yet grounded atmosphere. A former garage was reimagined as a tranquil one-bedroom apartment, completing a design that is both practical and reflective of the clients.

ALL Design Studio, led by Amanda Lyon, refurbished and extended the ground floor of this Edwardian family home in Honor Oak, London. The brief centred on creating a sociable kitchen designed for entertaining, with a nod to commercial kitchens to suit the clients’ love of cooking. A rich tonal palette of crimson, burgundy, and berry adds warmth, contrasting beautifully with a striking stainless steel island.

An 18th century house on the Devon estuary

Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025 by KiM

We worked closely with long-standing clients to transform this elegant 18th-century house on the Devon estuary into a relaxed and characterful retreat. Blending classic country house design with a youthful, practical spirit, we introduced layered textures and handcrafted details throughout—balancing tradition with a fresh, thoughtful approach. The result is a warm, welcoming home that honours the building’s heritage while capturing the energy of the young family who live there.
Designed by HÁM Interiors, they really nailed the ‘updated traditional’ approach with this spectacular home. Hats off to these talented designers as this is exactly what was called for.
