“Timeless, collected and chic, this tasteful family home was designed with love for a couple with a worldly sensibility. Drawing from both English countryside homes & quirky London flats, we brought in a playful palate of furnishings that would act as an effortless backdrop to the young art historians’ beautiful collection of antiques and notable works of art.”

It’s all about colour and pattern, wallpaper and a mix of antiques and modern. It’s what I would call quintessentially British decor but it’s definitely American. The best of both worlds. Carmelina by Meghan Eisenberg.

Living vicariously

We all do it especially on blogs like this. We live vicariously, daydreaming about moving into fabulous homes. I sooooooo want to move into this Soho apartment by Jessica Schuster. Of course it’s her own. Sophisticated, eclectic and for me perfect.

Upward spiral

Posted on Mon, 16 Jan 2023 by midcenturyjo

It’s the understanding of space and structure that sets this 70 m2 apartment in Marais, Paris apart from your usual cookie-cutter small space design. A spiral staircase may save space and allow sight lines but why have something pedestrian? Make it a monumental one. It’s an upward spiral, a strong design statement.

Traditional Spanish tiles, mid-century pieces and a riot of colour. Shouldn’t work? Hell yes, it does. Packed with personality and fun San Sebastián-based interior designer Mikel Irastorza respects the traditional Spanish roots of the building then starts layering … and layering … and layering. Fabulous fun!

Loft love

Just when I think my love for lofts has waned BAM! I’m smitten all over again. The space, the ceiling heights, light flooding in and the touch of industrial. In this case, the industrial remnants are juxtaposed with a neoclassical riff. Sophisticated with a touch of urban grit Soho Factory Loft by Jessica Schuster.
