Working on a Saturday

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to darg yourself into work on the weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The Parlour Room Redfern by Tom Mark Henry.

A colourful Georgian home

Posted on Thu, 5 Jun 2025 by KiM

This bay-fronted house has a beautiful Georgian facade and a 1960s extension to the rear. We celebrated its quirky patinated walls and wonky wooden floorboards. In all our projects we hand pick antiques, but here we focused on Arts and Crafts furniture, a style that our client loved. We also created bespoke pieces such as the ebonised dining table. This was inspired by an antique piece and was designed to fit the curve of the bay window to ensure it was the best spot to hang out with family and friends. The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
This house has such an uplifting energy about it, and I LOVE that designer Lonika Chande maintained and embraced some of the history. Those living room walls on either side of the fireplace with the peeling wallpaper is really beautiful. Photos: Milo Brown.

A Chelsea pied-à-terre

Posted on Wed, 4 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

This Chelsea High Line apartment by Lucy Harris offers a calm, refined escape above the bustle of the city. Designed as a restful pied-à-terre, the space features a relaxed, open-plan layout enriched with warm tones, curved forms, and soft textures. Lucy and her team introduced custom furnishings and layered botanical wallcoverings to create depth and personality. Defined zones for living, working, and entertaining lend the home a sense of intimacy, sophistication, and effortless comfort.
