A colourful Victorian

Posted on Mon, 8 Sep 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set within a Victorian terrace in North London this family home was reimagined by Laura Stephens with colour, warmth and character at its core. With paint colours already chosen by the client, Stephens introduced bold fabrics, vintage finds and bespoke furniture. Playful pattern mixing, a hallmark of her studio, added energy, from a patterned runner against mosaic tiles to layered rugs and artwork. The result is a colourful, cosy home rich with individuality and charm.

Layers of Calm

Posted on Mon, 8 Sep 2025 by midcenturyjo

Overlooking Sydney’s Manly Harbour, Delwood House has been reimagined as a calm and enduring retreat. Larissa Leigh Interiors shaped the interiors with a gentle hand, layering light, colour and materiality with restraint. Original elements, including arched thresholds, timber detailing and stained glass, provided architectural rhythm, while curated furnishings introduced presence and ease. The design avoids excess, offering instead a quiet, timeless interior defined by softness, resonance and lasting comfort.

A formerly Brooklyn-based family, now settled in San Francisco, embarked on a comprehensive renovation and addition of their 1913 Edwardian-style cottage in Glen Park. The family aimed to infuse East Coast character into the design, boldly selecting colorful cabinetry and a bouquet of mixed patterns. Landed prioritized retaining the nostalgic and historic integrity of the century-old home by designing custom carpentry, drawing from Federal and colonial-style profiles, featured prominently with a suite of extensive millwork. Glass elements in doors, transoms, and side lites were strategically introduced to optimize daylight in the hillside abode. Nooks and niches were injected throughout the space to inspire impromptu workspaces and cozy areas to sit by a window and indulge in avid reading habits.
This home is now brimming with exuberance and the colours used are so impactful. Such a spirited vibe for a family to create memories in. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

This project by Liddicoat & Goldhill involved the renovation of a Grade II listed 18th-century mill in Wiltshire, previously converted into a 3,133 sqft home. Built into a hillside, the four-storey structure was extended with a double-height orangery and terrace to connect the elevated living areas with the garden below. An inverted floor plan placed open-plan living spaces on the bright upper levels, while bedrooms occupy the more secluded lower floors. A carbon steel and oak helical staircase was inserted through the full height of the building, uniting the spaces while respecting the original industrial fabric. The design carefully balances conservation with the introduction of modern Scandinavian interiors. Photos: Michael Sinclair & Will Scott.
