The renovation of this 140 m2 art nouveau apartment in the Eixample district in Barcelona has resulted in a beautiful light-filled, airy home which respects the property’s original elegance while providing contemporary luxuries. Love the restored original floors and ceilings and the design classics of the era juxtaposed with modern pieces. By Barcelona-based design studio vilablanch.

It seems that most Mondays I want to run away. I never seem to be able to face the new working week. Today I want to be wandering through the marble halls of interior designer Caroline Legrand‘s Ibiza pad. A monochromatic palette, sophisticated 70s pieces and texture on texture. Brown and beige never looked so cool.

He’s the master of mixing eras, of taking a limited palette and adding richness and interest through texture and shape. French-born, Spanish-based Serge Castella’s take on mid modern is fresh, artistic and just a little quirky. Who could mix an elegant French commode with Roman amphora and still remain true to the mid mod aesthetic? His background in fashion and antiques is obvious in his interior design work. Stylish, chic and totally individual.

I am not sure how Los Angeles based interior designer Bryan Wark managed to mix mid-century and boho and glam elements together to create such an awesome vibe but he did and I LOVE it. This home is stunning and OMG look at all those massive windows! It’s so bright and easy on the eye yet has some fabulous statement pieces for some BLAM.  

It was a 1960s house that was too small for its family. They loved their home but they needed more room. Nothing huge and definitely not something that ignored its mid century bones. Enter Melbourne-based Nest Architects. The house grew to meet the family’s needs, kept its mid mod mojo and everyone lived happily ever after.
