With its post war modernist bones it would be easy to reproduce a retro 50’s decor or worse demo and create a bare modern interior. Instead Warsaw-based interior design firm Colombe celebrated the building painting everything white then appling pops of colour framed like works of art and filling it with a mix of midcentury and contemporary pieces. Fun, fabulous and fresh, a liveable, loveable family home.

Sleek minimalism in the northern suburbs of Madrid. Referencing its Spanish roots but lightening and lifting, constraining and curating leaving a thoroughly contemporary home. Minimalism with soul. RI Countryside House Madrid by Burondo.

“Hancock Park is known for gracious homes that offer a striking mix between classic English Tudors and fanciful Old Hollywood architecture. Our goal was to preserve the essence of the home while also making necessary updates that would support the harmony, functionality, and appeal of the space. This meant leaving in some of the more ‘dated’ elements and creating an interior atmosphere that would compliment the original themes. We invited a new edge into our work by bringing romance and mystery into a family home, something unexpected. The result proved that sensuality and soul can add a necessary warmth to familial spaces.”

Beautifully curated and almost cave-like, an oasis from the glare outside the windows. Muted, mossy, mature and marvellous. Hancock Park Tudor by Jake Arnold.

“After undertaking a complete refurbishment of this elegant mews home in West London, we created a calming yet eclectic backdrop with our signature layers of colour and pattern throughout.”

A fabulous renovation of a Notting Hill house by HÁM but it’s the kitchen that is calling me. I’ll be preparing a meal for family or friends you’ll be ensconced on that fabulous banquette with a cup of tea and the crumbs of a recently baked cake on your plate.

Light-filled and fabulous this Madrid apartment by Espejo & Goyanes celebrates the historic bones of the building but adds a refined contemporary sophistication. Natural wood tones combine with brighter than bright whites while golden metals and black accents punctuate the scheme.
