The appearance of gold

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

“Yellow-coloured objects appear to be gold” – Aristotle. It’s a quote used by Geremia Design to describe their reworking of a Julia Morgan house. (Morgan’s most famous building is Hearst Castle.) It’s about bold, saturated colour and the juxtaposition of old and new, novel and familiar, subtle and dramatic. It’s about alchemy … and gold.

A Chelsea Loft Apartment

Posted on Tue, 9 Jan 2024 by midcenturyjo

My New York dream. A classic loft space that goes on and on. A multitude of living spaces. Bedrooms that are boudoirs with yet more seating areas. An office the size of most NY studios. A girl can dream and when I do I’ll it will be this Chelseas loft Ryan Lawson that will fill my mind’s eye. Chic and bohemian, quirky and massive.

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.


This eclectic Georgian townhouse belongs to Designer Alice Crawley, and is a showcase of her confidence in colour and style. Her trademark take on East-meets-West features jewel tones and chinoiserie prints, sprinkled with bamboo furniture and custom upholstery. Almost everything you see has been designed and made by Alice and her team (down to the paint colors) making this a truly unique and original home.
Many bold choices of colours and patterns are found throughout Alice’s home, and the end result is a real wow factor mixed with unmatched levels of comfort and is soooo inviting.

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
