I adore the portfolio of interior designer Kathryn Scott. Almost every space is punctuated with a hit of bold colour (ie. chartreuse ceiling in first 2 photos) or oversized artwork, and I love that mixed with her classic sense of style. “Our designs blend a sharp sense of the classic with contemporary insight and technique to ensure our creations, modern or traditional, are always timeless in style. We believe that everyone is entitled to surroundings that support their activity, inspire their actions and delight their senses.”

Danielle Mac Innes is the creative force behind Fuse Interiors. Just named as Best Newcomer at Ireland’s Interior Design 2008 her style is fun, funky and fabulous! Danielle kindly sent us these pictures of one of her latest projects and I don’t know about you but I’m packing my bags to move in. Irish houses are not known for their great interior design (think net curtains, wallpaper boarders and loud wall to wall carpet) but with Danielle on the scene I can see things changing rapidly. Check out the rest of her portfolio here.

Brazilian born Italian based photographer Ruy Teixeira’s work has a poetic element that is not often captured through a lens. His understanding of and respect for the design he shoots is obvious. His portfolio is mind blowing not just his houses but his amazing collection of portraits of the world’s leading designers. This is just a taste. Vibrant, exuberant and empathic, three words I use to describe his work. One word? Fabulous!

Penny wrote us recently with what I’d have to say is the toughest request yet: “In the next few months, I am going to begin renovating a big barn on my property in France to turn into a “great room” (kitchen/living room). I have been trying to collect photos from magazines with modern kitchens/living rooms in renovated barns, but I have only come across a few. Do you have any such photos that you could post on your blog?” The simplest answer to Penny’s question is no. But what I did find are photos of lofty spaces that are multi-purpose, that might help with ideas on layout. Penny – are you ever lucky! A barn conversion would be a blast! Hope this helps get your creative juices flowing.

There is an elegant monochromatic and simple yet lush feel to these rooms by Owen Design Associates but just when you think that this soothing neutral palette is their thing ODA surprise with rich colour. Love Alexandra Owen’s clean lines as much as her take on comfortable and tufted. Would kill for those silk drapes and bamboo blinds in the last room featured.
