Oh my I’ve died and gone to kitchen heaven. This is it. English country kitchen perfection and… it’s a showroom. We all know I’m smitten by anything that deVOL Kitchens design so it’s no surprise that I have been following the fitout of their new Clerkenwell, London showroom on their Instagram account. Pink fireplace wall, handmade green wall tiles, bespoke cabinets in dreamy blue and copper pans hanging on a creamy tongue and groove wall. The little chandelier, majolica plates and vintage portrait are icing on the cake. I couldn’t wait for the showroom to turn up on their website. I just had to share their IG posts.

… is ppppperfect don’t you think? With a slap of fabulous colour and a gallery wall to make you all envious, this flush of fun is by Summer Thornton Design.

“I worked with many of the client’s existing pieces on this project and took my color cues from the art painted by the lady of the house herself. They were willing to take risks with bold pattern and combining new with the old. I think the result is a highly individual, collected feeling abode that exudes warmth and character.”– Jayme Armour Interiors

It’s that mix of old and new with the home owner’s existing pieces centre stage that draws me to this lovely home. The pinks and blues, the subtle pattern on pattern. It’s light, fresh revitalisation. (P.S. I just know I’d get on with the owners if their wine cork collection is anything to go by.)

I think it is really important to have your home reflect your personality and interests. The homeowner of this apartment is a world traveller and it is so meaningful and beautiful that her interior designer Peter Wilds incorporated her treasures brought back from travels in her space. Mixed in with a bit of mid-century modern and time-worn vintage pieces, it speaks volumes of the homeowner’s love of colour (that pink wall is amazing!) and travel, particularly to India.

I absolutely love everything about this 60 m² bar in Kiev, Ukraine called Pink Room designed by Circle Line Interiors. From the colour scheme and the glamorous vibe to how it operates. Bar is situated in a historic part of building of old cinema “Kiev” in the centre of the city. Owners of the place wanted to create something that differs from the rest of speakeasy bars which already exist in the city. It was supposed to become the secret place for all cool underground music lovers, for those who appreciate art of cocktail culture, of silent cinema performances and for those who appreciate french style of the beginning of 20th century. Pink room is placed at an old stairway of the cinema, which was closed for the last 10 years. The entrance is behind the replica of Jules Chéret’s poster “Exposition universelle de 1889 : Le pays des fées”. Instead of Paris our designers painted Kiev’s historic Sofia square. To enter speakeasy one has to know secret code on a door, which can be obtained only from the owner of Pink Room. The overall size of the place is 60 square meters.  

Above the exit neon sign “Shhh…” reminds guests of Pink Room’s secrets that they should keep to themselves after leaving it.

On a lower floor we placed bar which is the main focal point of the space. On an opposite side from it is the row of cinema chairs where guests can enjoy view at the playful work of mistress of Pink Room – beautiful bartender Yasya.

Room with bar is teeny tiny and we had to search for solutions to visually enlarge it. To achieve this we covered ceiling and wall behind the bar with antique mirrors. In front of cinema chairs we placed copper cocktail tables with mirrored tops. Together with ceiling they play as a favourite spot for selfie pictures by creating double reflection.

On the second floor is situated DJ booth, large sofa, small tables and lounge chairs – everything is vintage. This is the space where they play silent movies and enjoy music sets from guest deejays.
