I love an English interior. A little bit traditional, not afraid of pattern clash, surprisingly lots of colour and always that touch of quirkiness. What’s that you say? English interiors are all magnolia paint, naff wallpaper and overstuffed pleather sofas? Not this fabulous interior by Rosanna Bossom. That’s my inspiration!
From Florida we’re off to Long Island, to Montauk and another beach house this time by Studio Robert McKinley. A more neutral palette and a distinct mid-century vibe but the same beachy chic. Casual doesn’t mean an absence of style.
It’s a bright and colourful take on the beach shack without the cliches. Comfortable, uncluttered, and beautiful. Think small footprint with everything for the two of you to live large. After all, it’s the Love Shack by New York and Sarasota based Ellen Hanson Designs.
This Park Avenue apartment by Julie Hillman is another beautiful example of thoughtful curation. Hillman “feels that every item in a room should be in conversation with one another while maintaining its own significance.” Distinctive, timeless, and unique.
“I am drawn to natural pieces and finishes and artisan craftsmanship, I believe deeply in the integration of old and new, creating a timelessness. Taking into consideration the context and architectural history of a project is essential for my design process. I am forever sourcing antiques and have an eye for extraordinary pieces that might otherwise go unseen or unloved. Moreover, I see myself as a curator of spaces, as much as I do an interior designer.”
Beautiful and calm, collected and chic. Ladbroke Gardens by Hollie Bowden.
