A room that is a promise of summer to come. With zest and zing and joyful squeals of colour. Like scoops of fruit gelati on a hot day this wonderful bedroom, or should that be boudoir, is just the antidote to long, lingering winters. By interior designer Robert Passal.
How cool! I already love the modern open plan, the concrete and the white brick, the bright yellow and hot pink accents as well as the pool but what I really, really love are the Space Invader motifs in the brickwork. Crass? No way! Life is too short not to have a sense of humour. Florence House by Perth, West Australia based Klopper & Davis Architects.
English antiques and a stiff upper lip tempered and teased by mid-century classics, fab fabrication and colour, great licks of colour. Play spot the Scandinavian icons, Wegner, Saarinen, Iittala, Josef Frank. The new traditionalist that is Ben Pentreath.
This home is a lesson in picking the perfect wall colours. With a distinctive mid-century feel, San Francisco’s Senalee Kapelevich of SVK Interior Design hit the nail on the head in each room. It is the perfect starting point for the homeowners to then add some personal touches. Loving that pink!
