A charming pied-à-terre in London

Posted on Mon, 17 Oct 2022 by KiM

This bijoux 2 bedroom flat in the heart of Victoria is used as a pied-a-terre by its owners who live outside of London. Set in a beautiful turn of the century apartment block, the basement flat was bursting with period features – it was simply tired, unloved and in need of a complete refresh. The brief was simple – inject colour, charm and warmth and turn this functional flat into an inviting home from home – whilst being respectful of the history and grandeur of the building. First step was to look at the layout, remove unnecessary stud walls and open up the (albeit tiny) entrance hall and kitchen. We then added colour and texture through selecting rich and sumptuous fabrics – and adding brass accents and reclaimed fixtures to give the flat an authentic, lived in feel. Antique, vintage and modern furniture sit alongside each other, with a vibrant blue/green colour thread weaving coherently throughout each room.
Another incredibly charming and functional project by Brooke Copp-Barton.

A colourful maisonette flat in London

Posted on Thu, 13 Oct 2022 by KiM

This maisonette flat running over the top two floors and loft of this Victorian terrace was a blank canvass and complete labour of love. The property was run down and in a sorry state of disrepair. The brief was to turn it into a warm and inviting family home for a working mum and her young son. What’s more, colour, pattern, eclectic touches and vintage finds were to be positively encouraged! With the requirement to store thousands of books we kept the vaulted ceiling and created bespoke wall to ceiling joinery to form the backdrop and heart of this open plan space.
I love how considered and unique this home is and the colours really make it homey. Designed by Chiswick (West London) based Brooke Copp-Barton.

Kind of OJ

Posted on Fri, 7 Oct 2022 by KiM

Studio LoHo is a Belgian design office located in Bruges, Belgium. Founded in the autumn of 2017 by Karel Loontiens and Jo Hoeven, the studio focused from the beginning on high-end bespoke interior projects which forms an ideal matrix for product – and material design that is both innovative and durable. Kind of OJ is a brand new concept about authentic luxury, unique design & art. It is at the same time a B&B, a gallery for contemporary art and design, but also a laboratory for our own interior ideas. Such a beautiful and creative space.

A colourful Battersea family home

Posted on Mon, 3 Oct 2022 by KiM

Our lovely French clients have lived in this double fronted house for 16 years and, now their children are older, wanted to inject colour and interest to create a sophisticated home that would suit the next stage of their lives. The rarely used dining room was transformed into an inviting library/TV room for their three teenage children to read, relax or to entertain friends. The wall between the existing living areas was taken out, allowing light to flow throughout the ground floor. Throughout the house we overhauled the neutral interiors to align with the taste of our discerning client, who was strongly drawn to depth of colour and marrying of patterns. The end result is a house that feels grown up, layered, and well considered for each individual member of the family.
Designed by Ali Johnson and Alex Keith of Otta Design, this Battersea family home has some really scrumptious colours. I am head over heels for that deep Indian yellow in the library (Paint & Paper Library’s Muga). Photos: Jonathan Bond

Honoring a treasured past while incorporating the colorful decades of the Haight-Ashbury. This San Francisco home designed by Nicole Hollis is a colourful modern masterpiece with some Moroccan flair. It’s spectacular! I just noticed it has been recently featured on Architectural Digest with more juciy photos and details/sources.
