Wabi Sabi in Notting Hill

Posted on Mon, 3 Jun 2024 by midcenturyjo

Designer Saskia Blyth has transformed this two-bedroom penthouse in Notting Hill into an uplifting space with rustic charm. Located on Blenheim Crescent, the penthouse features cathedral-like proportions, vaulted ceilings, and low beams. Yellow-toned lime plaster and inky black walls create striking contrasts. A horseshoe-shaped reception room flows into interconnected rooms, while double-height windows illuminate the Boffi kitchen island. The dining area’s mottled walls reflect daylight, and an open fire adds warmth to the living room. Both tranquil bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and access to a private terrace with stunning views. For short let via Domus Nova.

This Haussmannian interior in Paris’s 8th arrondissement is a true gem, with every detail meticulously thought out, polished, and crafted.

Nestled between L.A.’s Whitley Heights and Outpost Estates, this 1920s Spanish Cottage had just two owners before Katie and her husband Tim acquired it in 2020. Despite neglect and previous remodels, Katie of Katie Hodges Design saw the home’s potential. They embarked on a personal design journey, blending traditional and modern elements. The 2000-square-foot space was reimagined for functionality, prioritizing enduring materials like raw plaster walls, brass hardware, Italian textiles, and vintage furnishings.
