Margaret Kirkland Interiors

Posted on Fri, 27 Aug 2021 by KiM

Atlanta designer Margaret Kirkland is known for her classic, timeless, elegant interiors. One of her greatest pleasures as a designer is to go hunting in a client’s storage for old treasures that can be repurposed to give them new life, while also bringing the client’s personality directly into the space. The results are sophisticated refuges that imbue their modern comforts with a subtle sense of history and timelessness. Take these spaces and put them in one of the French châteaus I’ve been featuring on Sundays and you have yourself a winner.

Pattern on pattern and a kaleidoscope of colour. Antiques and family hand me downs reloved. Books and flowers from the garden, pleated fabric lampshades, plenty of brown furniture and an army of floor rugs. The English do it so so well. Berkshire House by Vanrenen GW Designs.

I may have been watching too many YouTube videos lately about French châteaus as I also found myself thinking this could be a fun Sunday theme. I spotted this gem on Sotheby’s. This medieval fortress is located on a mountain in Saint-Pierre-d’Albigny (south eastern France) with breathtaking views. It is 560m², has 14 bedrooms and includes stables, multiple towers and a chapel. This has sooooo much potential! What a dream!

Quintessentially English

Playful, colourful and thoughtful. A small Georgian terrace has been given a new life under the talented hands of Sarah Peake of Studio Peake. Modern meets old and the result is a fabulous family home that to a foreigner like me is quintessentially English.
