Lonika Chande revamped a mid-19th century terraced house in Chelsea for clients who shared her love for bold textile pairings. Despite its central location, the house maintains a tranquil atmosphere. Original features like the fireplace, cornicing, architraves and panelling were reinstated. The kitchen and living room were opened to create a sociable space featuring a curved, upholstered banquette. A third-floor rear extension houses a cozy guest room with a bed nook, custom headboard and fabric-lined wardrobe, creating a cozy effect.

Belgian mid-century in Rhode Island

Posted on Mon, 17 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

The Belgian midcentury project by Moore House Design in Rhode Island involved a complete scale design, renovation, and furnishing of a 3,100 sq ft gambrel colonial home. Originally built in the 80s with builder-grade finishes and partial renovations, the home lacked cohesion. The designers introduced a modern European take, aiming to unify the fragmented elements, emphasizing natural materials and local craftsmanship, including tadelakt, fine cabinetry, furniture joinery, hand-forged ironwork and custom upholstery.

A historic 1660 (yes you read that right) saltbox house in Cape Cod is an elegant interpretation of Early American style and modern facilities. The renovation by Boston-based SLC Interiors exposed the rustic bones of the building yet infused the home with style and grace. Warm, inviting and well lived in.
