A young family approached our studio and asked us to help them gut-renovate a Landmarked townhouse they had recently purchased in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Both clients love color and tile and these elements became a key part of the overall renovation project. We selected a porcelain tile that is playful, fun and has a timeless aesthetic to use throughout the parlor floor. we installed a checkerboard blue and white tile pattern all the way down the length of the parlor primary hallway, rather than the typical wood floor one normally sees. Color plays a key role throughout the home and, in particular, on the parlor level. Door frames are painted in various bright shades, the primary hallway has a blue paint wainscot that wraps around into the mudroom zone, and the center living space (and future library) is painted a shade of deep green. One of the early requests the clients made during our design process together was for a pink kitchen. Although there is lots of color used throughout the home, the brighter hues are carefully balanced with large areas of more neutral tones.
If bold primary colours are your jam, then this home is right up your alley! Designed by Studio Officina, this is a really fun take on colour. As much as I love colourful walls and ceilings, I am also obsessed with neutral walls and boldly painted trim and windows. Photos: Louisa & Fyodor.

Elizabeth Hay Design reimagined a Grade II listed Georgian country house to feel both traditional and joyful. Instead of major structural work, the focus was on creating atmosphere through soft furnishings and a cheerful kitchen in buttery yellow, redand green. Asian art and antique textiles from Liberty were woven into the design, bringing depth and individuality. Flexible seating areas make the rooms feel cosy when used quietly, yet just as welcoming when filled with family or friends, ensuring warmth and versatility throughout.
