Arkansas-based Meet West Studio revived a 1970s lakeside cottage through a complete gut remodel, restoring its vintage charm with luxury finishes to create a boutique short-term rental. Inspired by a 1970s Laurel Canyon cottage, the studio used vintage furniture, handmade tiles, natural stone, and rich, earthy textiles. New patio doors and windows enhanced natural light and views. Deep, earthy tones in bedrooms and bathrooms, along with eclectic 70s decor, added a laid-back luxury vibe.

A four-storey townhouse in Dalston re-imagined and transformed into a bold, colourful and bohemian sanctuary. The existing house was divided into two dwellings, a small flat with fronts steps leading down on the lower ground floor and a family maisonette on the upper three floors, accessed up a flight of external stairs. The brief was to combine the two separate dwellings into one home and restore the grand townhouse to its former glory. Zoe and Benedict wanted to change the basement flat into the main kitchen and living space, so that it could open onto the generous garden. They also wanted to keep the original through-lounge on the upper floor as well as providing a main bedroom with en-suite, a family bathroom, and further rooms to be used as bedrooms and study space but able to adapt over time. Early discussions for the new construction elements of the project kept returning to mid-century Los Angeles style and we liked the idea of entering the house on a Brooklyn feel and switching from East Coast to West Coast to discover a brightly lit, mid-century Californian style living space inside.
This renovated home (another one by Bradley Van Der Straeten) is packed with really moody colours and really has such a wonderful energy about it. A very happy place to be.

In Crouch End, North London, a young family sought help to enhance their home’s functionality and add colour and warmth. Laura Stephens Interiors redesigned the open-plan ground floor, transforming the middle room with a wood-burning stove, armchairs, a rug, and a warm paint scheme. The adjacent kitchen’s new paint scheme added warmth and character. Large glazed doors in cerulean blue brightened the hallway. Upstairs, the master bedroom featured soft blue and pink tones, luxurious furnishings, and unique repurposed antiques. The family living area and cinema room were made both practical and sophisticated.

“This farmhouse was envisioned for a young couple embarking on family life, emphasizing playfulness, vibrant colors, and the versatility to host guests. Our design process was rooted in the joy of incorporating patterns and colors, resulting in truly vibrant spaces. We creatively had to maximize the potential of irregularly shaped rooms from the original house.  Strategically placing the seating in the corner of the library, we were able to transform a small room into a versatile space suitable for hosting gatherings around the fireplace, playing cards at the game table while being surrounded by bookshelves that also incorporated a full bar. In the absence of a formal living room, we integrated a cozy U-shaped dining bench at the end of the living room.  The two wider sides double as chaises, offering cozy nooks for reading.  In creating this farmhouse, we prioritized vibrant, adaptable spaces that resulted in a harmonious home that seamlessly combined practicality with warmth and style.”

We brought a 1970s lakeside cottage back to life with a complete gut remodel, restoring the vintage cabin feel and layering with vintage and luxury finishes to create a boutique short term rental experience for guests to enjoy. We were going for a laid-back luxury vibe bringing in lots of our favorite vintage pieces collected over time. We used handmade tile, natural stone, and textiles in rich, earthy colors and organic textures. We let the outside in with new patio doors and windows throughout. While the main room was painted with a warm white, we dialed up the mood in the bedrooms and bathrooms with deep, earthy tones. 
If I stumbled upon this cool cottage on Airbnb I’d be booking it on the spot. Not your typical cottage vibes and definitely amping up the sophistication. Designed by Meet West Studio.
