Notting Hill based design firm Barlow & Barlow embraced colour in this project for a fashion stylist who appears to take family life pretty seriously. 😉 This home has such a great energy for children to grow up in and is so lively and whimsical. I’d take this over stuffy and over-done any day.
Oh the drama! Oh the theatre! Oh the inspiration! What else would you expect from Lyon-based designer Claude Cartier? A master of colour, texture and pattern his work may divide opinions but it is always on the cutting edge of design.
This is as about as British as it gets. Christopher Hodsoll has a unique ability to create cosy and comfortable spaces out of grand period rooms. As well as being adept at making a modern interior look as if it had been built up over years by a collector. Using his cabinet-of-curiosities style to juxtapose boldly luxurious antiques alongside more contemporary items to create opulent, yet relaxed living environments, he recognises that interior decorating sometimes means creating an atmosphere rather than a particular look.
Last year I featured the pattern-a-licious Guatemalan home of designer Rodman Primack. It seems he has since packed up and moved to Mexico City where his new home is awash with colour and patterns and some groovy mid-century furnishings. So much fun!!! (Photos: Stephen Johnson)
Aside from every colour under the sun being incorporated into this 200 sq m 1960s Sydney home you also have exposed brick, mural painted on brick, ‘crazy pavers’ flooring, tile, marble, white cork etc. making this home as dynamic and energizing as can be. It is utterly fascinating how design firm YSG managed to turn chaos into something really special. (Photos: Prue Ruscoe, Styling: Alicia Sciberras)
