My client had just purchased an apartment in Camden, London that was in desperate need of some love. She asked me to create a home for her that was playful, colourful and whimsical, bringing together her love for Britain and her homeland South Africa. It was important to create a home that was reflective of her personality. It was because of this that I individually chose antique and vintage pieces for each space and paired these with bespoke items to seamlessly tell a story within her new home. I had so much fun playing with colour and pattern which is threaded throughout the apartment. A theme of soft pinks and earthy greens are incorporated into each room to achieve cohesion yet retain individuality and interest within each space.
Brilliant use of colour and pattern by Sean Symington. I am smitten with how inviting this home is – it’s like being wrapped in a handmade vintage quilt.

This 16th century Tudor manor in Bristol makes me so incredibly happy. It has EVERYTHING. The worn, textured history showing throughout, cozy and eclectic furnishings, antiques, beautiful fabrics, those peachy walls…. this is heaven. Available as a location home via Peagreen Locations.

I adore the simplicity, coziness and vintage vibes throughout this beautiful Kentish Town, London home designed by Marion Lichtig. Makes me want to hunt down a squishy pink second-hand sofa.

Pale shades of peach, yellow, green and blue and a statement sofa in Josef Frank fabric create such a fun, cozy atmosphere in Utah-based designer and stylist Meta Coleman‘s adorable home. Embracing colour and pattern and vintage and owning it.

Built in 1924, the historic preservation society defines this house as French Eclectic – a common style following WWI. Soldiers returning home were inspired to build Normandy style houses with steep pitched roofs, casement windows, French doors, and a combination of timber and stucco surfaces. On the interior, these houses often took on a Tudor or Spanish influence – sometimes a mixture of both. Our role was to remodel kitchen and baths, create a guest suite on the ground floor, refresh the house throughout, and then furnish it comfortably for a casual family of three.  For all of the permanent features we took our cues from the existing architecture, and then layered on an eclectic mix of furnishings well-suited to our client’s lifestyles and reflective of their travels and interests.
Jessica Helgerson Interior Design continues to beautify every home they touch and wow me each time. I love the drama of many dark elements against a light backdrop. Such a statement. (Photos: Aaron Leitz)
