INTERIORS CRUSH | QUIRKY AND RUSTIC HOME IN IBIZA

29 August 2014

Ibiza-Luis-Galliussi-by-Ricardo-Labougle-01

Oh, this door – it had me at hello. I’m currently totally crushing on renovated holiday homes with rustic original features and this home in Ibiza got me dreaming about a September holiday in the Med.

It’s the perfect month for me. The crowds are gone, the sun has lost it’s intensity and you don’t have to reserve a sunbed with your towel the night before. Being German I’m sensitive about this cliché and for the record I’ve never knowingly taken part in such appalling behaviour.

So, come and soak up some sun and relaxed holiday vibes through these gorgeous photographs by Ricardo Labougle. The owner is interior designer Luis Galliussi who renovated and extended this simple peasant house set back from the party atmosphere amongst fig and olive trees. In addition to the stunning infinity pool he added a living room with fireplace and two bedrooms with bathrooms, all in the traditional cubic style so the house nestles quietly into the countryside.

His quirky choices of furniture and bright colours are refreshing and I get the impression he just had some fun with this project. Where else would you find garden gnomes, an umbrella above the dining table and army style camouflage pillows in the guest bedroom?

I like this home that’s simple and unassuming on the outside but hides so many treasures on the inside, presenting relaxed country loving with a twinkle in the eye.

And don’t get me started on that kitchen island… #dreamy

BEACH HOUSE FILLED WITH CHARACTER

6 May 2014

Beach-House-by-Brooke-Holm-via-Share-Design-11

I saw this character filled Australian beach house back in the autumn on Share Design and thought it would be a great Springtime feature because of the slightly retro and colourful interior. Photography and styling is by one of my favourite Australian duos Brooke Holm and Marsha Golemac who seem to be on the proverbial roll.

I love the architecture of the house which is reminiscent of a house boat with it’s long, two-storey shape and wide decks at different levels. The design was mostly brought to life by the owners themselves who took a photo from Wallpaper magazine as inspiration. Not a bad starting point!

My favourite element has to be the enclosed glass spiral staircase and the timber cladding – horizontal (and white) inside, contrasting with vertical (and black) on the outside blending nicely into the rugged Victorian landscape.

Another reason I wanted to share this project with you is the unique interior with it’s mint green kitchen cabinets and multitude of colours and fabric patterns throughout the house against a very Scandinavian backdrop of white walls and ceiling which calms it down just enough not to be overbearing.

And how cute is that little tree house with it’s own rope ladder and boat at the end of the garden!? My kids would have a ball in there!

INTERIORS CRUSH | AMSTERDAM WAREHOUSE

7 April 2014

Amsterdam-Warehouse-via-Milk-Magazine-08

Hello to you! Did you all have a nice weekend? It seems ages that I shared an Interiors Crush with you so today’s feature is extra special. There are of course many, many gorgeous lofts out there – remember the London loft or the one in Barcelona I recently featured?

Hold on to your hats as today’s original Amsterdam warehouse is particularly impressive with it’s boho industrial vibe beautifully captured by Louise Desrosiers.

The space centres around an unusual enclosed patio garden from which light filters into the rest of the house through huge industrial style windows. A ginormous exposed brick wall sets the tone for the mix-and-match interior with antiques and flea market finds giving a relaxed atmosphere.

The colour palette is all earthy with emphasis on natural textures like rough, old wood, animal hides and weathered metal. Interestingly, there are no pops of colour, hardly any painted surfaces and no bling to speak of with the only concession being the polished concrete floor. A totally harmonious space, befitting of the arty Jordaan neighbourhood where Rembrandt spent the last few years of his life.

I’m rather envious of the owners work/life set up as interior designer Marius runs his business Flow from one side of the building while wife Emily designs beautiful organic kids clothes for Gray Label in her studio on the other side. I imagine they romantically meet for lunch on the patio or in the open-plan kitchen under the impressive black clay chandelier, handmade in Africa, to share a spot of organic goodies. *Sigh*

I bet the kids are having a ball in this space chasing each other, bike racing and hiding in their tipee.

INTERIORS CRUSH | BOHEMIAN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

26 March 2014

This might not seem like my usual INTERIORS CRUSH but the space, the sheer space had me at ‘hello’. Just look at it! There’s so much of it! Proper S P A C E ! Wow! You could have an orchestra playing in it and still fit an audience of about 100 people in it. Well, maybe a small-ish orchestra.

This is not to say that it’s too big. Quite the opposite. Fanny and Pascal Francois have managed to transform this former factory in Lille, Belgium into a warm and welcoming family home thanks to their wonderfully eclectic and bohemian industrial sense of style.

The piece de resistance for me is the converted fishmongers bench into the mother of all kitchen islands including a sink. Pure genius and what a perfect fit!

Avid flea market hunters and DIYers the vast majority of the furniture is reclaimed or custom made to fit their specific needs. I love the vast open-plan kitchen / dining / living area with deliberately mismatched chairs around a handmade table by Pascal himself. Have you noticed that there’s space for 10 people – easily! T E N ! Living in a city where space is at a premium I can only dream of dinner parties that size.

Oh, did I mention that Pascal is an architect? So gutting the downstairs area and re-organising the layout was kind of a must. The other musts were replacing the industrial style windows with identical insulted ones (very sensible), pouring a polished concrete floor (very cool) and sandblasting / white-washing the brickwork (very boho) to keep the industrial look of the space.

With their personal eclectic and often colourful touches the space is transformed and becomes a warm and welcoming family home. I love the colourful vases and bottles lined up along the window sill which only work if your kids have reached a certain age… You guessed, we’re not there yet but I can dream.

INTERIORS CRUSH | ELEGANT INTERIOR DESIGN IN BRISTOL

12 March 2014

Gabrielle-Blackman-Bristol-Home-via-ElleDeco-06

This is the home of Gabrielle Blackman, UK TV presenter on DIY SOS and interior designer. For her period home in Bristol she chose to combine a raw, almost unfinished look with some elegant pieces of furniture in accent colours like the gorgeous mustard yellow sofa and chair.

A dominant feature is the deliberately roughly painted white wooden floor reflecting light and giving it a real arty bohemian studio feel. I almost expect to see an easel surrounded by pots of paint and a muse lounging on one of those inviting period armchairs.

Her soft colour palette of different shades of grey is complimented by vintage furniture and flea market finds, some of which are painted (never perfectly) in complimenting colours like navy and green. Her decorating solution suits the period style of the property perfectly and her elegant interior design makes the space feel much loved and lived-in. A lovely bohemian family home.
