Designer’s own

Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

I love looking into the inner spaces of a designer’s mind. Their own homes allow them to express themselves freely. This is the old Chelsea apartment of interior designer Neal Beckstedt. It may be well over 10 years ago but it’s a wonderful insight into stylishly curated small space living. Things I love? The black gallery wall is in the kitchen and the Murphy bed nook.

Uniquely Hollie Bowden in Covent Garden

Posted on Thu, 21 Dec 2023 by KiM

Hollie Bowden always has a unique, quirky angle to her designs and this Covent Garden project is just that. Shades of yellow and cream add a cheerfulness to these spaces. It’s modern and minimalist and edgy and a perfect backdrop for featuring graphic artwork, and furnishings that are themselves art. Photos: Genevieve Lutkin.

Dax I Architekten

Posted on Mon, 11 Dec 2023 by KiM

Dax I creates timeless places in which architecture and design are combined. This architecture firm based in Berlin seems to be very familiar with designing small spaces as well as those with historic details. They succeed in optimizing space in creative ways (I adore a good built-in anything) and maintaining original features but adding modern touches for the way we live today.

Honey & cinnamon

This apartment in Warsaw designed by Finchstudio is so incredibly warm with shades of green, yellow and brown. The cohesion with using some repetitive colours and tiles in more than one room really makes the spaces flow. Now THIS is how you design a small space right! Photos: Aleksandra Dermont

Small but mighty in inner London

Posted on Thu, 16 Nov 2023 by midcenturyjo

This courtyard in London’s Camberwell might be small in square metres but it’s a little oasis in a big city. A place to break out of the house to enjoy the greenery and space for al fresco cooking and dining. The impactful but simple material palette of composite decking, larch cladding and borrowed brick combines with repetitive plantings. A little makes a big difference in this garden by Andy Stedman.
