Shades of light and dark – Jiun Ho

Posted on Thu, 21 Jul 2011 by midcenturyjo

Light versus dark. Asian references counterbalanced by a modern western aesthetic. Masculine but definitely not macho. Tailored, elegant and with a touch of whimsy. Earthy and tactile. Smooth and structured. The yin and yang of interior designer Jiun Ho.

Marco Meneguzzi

Deeply dark and masculine. Elegantly neutral. Inside and out, light and shade. Always luxurious but equally liveable. It’s linen and marble, wicker and wood, found objects and vignettes, wool, cashmere or silk, as well as hammered iron, textured wallpaper and glass. Tactile and tailored, down filled stylishness , global influences and Australian living. It’s interior designer Marco Meneguzzi. I’m in love with the dark tailored room above. Throw in a tribal rug and I’d be in heaven.

MINIM

Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2011 by midcenturyjo

Be still my beating heart! Minimalist but maximizing potential, simple yet complex, feminine, warm, over scaled yet intimate. Functional and covetable, pure and essential yet just a little (actually a lot) luxe. Modernist beauty by Barcelona based Elina Vila and Agnès Blanch of MINIM. New meets old in the most beautiful way. This is definitely a must see website.

Casual yet stylish. Relaxed yet elegant. Modern and glamorous. White on white mixed with textural naturals. It’s resort style for everyday living and chic city home as retreat by Christine Ralphs and Michelle LLoyd of LLoyd Ralphs Design. Gorgeous work.

  

    

  

  

  

  

  

A Spanish home in the country

Posted on Tue, 31 Aug 2010 by KiM

I spotted this Spanish country home a while back on Nuevo Estilo and fell in love. I love the old world rustic charm of the structure and the slightly modern vibe of the interior. I am particularly drawn to the colour scheme and I find the global/ethnic style of decor soooo appealing. That is slowly becoming my new favourite give-me-heart-palpitations style – neutral colours and touches of global furnishings and fabrics. (Except my zebra rug would be FAUX!!!)
