Bold and vibrant in Madrid

Posted on Wed, 25 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

This home underwent a complete transformation, turning a dated office into a unique, tailored space for the clients. It’s bold, vibrant, and distinctive. Designed for a young couple, it embodies their personality and joy, featuring custom-designed carpentry, vibrant colours, textures, wallpapers, and sophisticated, unconventional materials.

The transformation incorporates period detailing and fluting, uniting the past with contemporary living. Through a vibrant colour palette and collaboration with local artisans and international designers, the house exudes a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, creating a delightful living space.

A new-build mountain ranch home in Oregon

The majestic footprint of the home needed an equally compelling design. This masculine rustic retreat was made with natural materials, organic accents, and an elevated approach for maximum comfort. We were able to translate the rugged surroundings into livable yet tailored spaces for this client and their family. From woodsy brown stains to neutral yet impactful tile, stone, and marble, each room feels like a retreat. The kitchen and dining nook have this moody and intimate feel to them. From the dark countertops to all of the complimentary natural stone, it is such a timeless combination. Rugged and elegant at once, the transition into the breakfast nook and dining space is seamless! We drew a lot of inspiration from Europe in this project.
This may be “rustic” but I’d add in there “elevated” and “refined”. It’s top-notch cabin living but no way are you letting people wander around with muddy boots on. Another one designed by Light and Dwell (maybe obvious because of their signature use of furry chairs…and now I need a furry chair). Photos: Michael Clifford

Sharing another fine example of maintaining original details that are 100% worth saving whilst adding some modern touches along with colour and pattern in this gorgeous home designed by Sophie Rowell of Côte de Folk. Reupholstering that sofa in this whimsical Svenskt Tenn fabric and the terracotta stone floor in brick pattern were both brilliant decision. Photos: Chris Snook.

A celebration of modern and traditional in this light and bright Madrid apartment by architectural and interior design studio Gärna. Antiques are juxtaposed with clean-lined contemporary pieces creating a timeless elegance. Although only 94 m2 the space packs a punch albeit in a velvet glove.
