INTERIORS CRUSH | FULHAM HOME

Oh, what an interiors crush today! This Fulham home is only down the road from us and I love seeing how software development professional Daniel Lee and his photographer wife Emma have renovated and extended their Victorian terrace.

Daniel is a designer as well as an architecture enthusiast and worked closely with his builder after getting the architect to obtain the necessary planning permissions for his extensive project which included a basement excavation and extension at the back.

He wanted a distinctly English yet minimalist look and made the Dinesen flooring his focal point giving the space drama and drawing the eye through the custom-made industrial style doors into the garden.

I love how he added texture to the walls by adding MDF panelling and echoed the floors in the kitchen cabinet doors and splash back. It’s an unusual layout in a familiar space and my favourite room has to be his studio at the back of the house where a huge ceiling glass panel brings in lots of natural light.

The eclectic mix of rustic furniture and modern design classics like the Saarinen tulip dining table and vintage wood stools work incredibly well in this serene off-white interior.

Sadly the place is sold now and the couple have moved on to their next project. I can’t wait what Daniel comes up with next.

LOFT LOVE | THE PIPER BUILDING, LONDON

loft love, london loft, dinesen floors, flooring, pine floor, wooden floor, double height, open plan, kitchen living dining area, work space, light, airy, dimensions, minimalist, custom made, quality, furniture, design classics, style, trend, interior design, decor, the piper building

This loft in London’s Piper Building should really be sponsored by Dinesen as their floors come into their own in the 12m long open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. The uninterrupted floor lines and wide planks give the room grand dimensions and the large double-height windows flood the space with light.

When architectural elements are this strong you don’t want to clutter the space and take away from the drama so the couple have stuck to a minimalist theme with clean lines, custom-made and quality furniture with some design classics that will stand the test of time.

My favourite part has to be the work space overlooking the central kitchen/dining area. A perfect ‘control tower’ for working mums keeping an eye on little rascals racing up and down on their scooters.

MODERN RUSTIC | WOODEN KITCHEN

4 May 2015

interiors, interior design, kitchen, wood, marble, robson rak, 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards, australia, dale, walk-in closet, modern rustic, trend, style

This wooden kitchen stopped me in my tracks… seriously, how gorgeous is this!? Thank you Pella for the introduction!

The combination of distressed solid oak and white marble is a perfect example of the modern rustic trend that I so love and the skylight brings wonderful soft light into what could be an otherwise dark extension. No surprise the interior architects Robson Rak were shortlisted for the 2014 Australian Interior Design Awards. They should have won if you ask me!

Check out the rest of the house including a to-die-for walk-in closet here.

PLACES TO GO | VILLA VERGELLE, TUSCANY

24 April 2015

Villa-Vergelle-Tuscany-via-Stylejuicer-01

All this Spring sunshine has started to make me think about holidays and as if by magic – other might say serendipity – Villa Vergelle pops up.

Turns out I’ve admired this holiday rental for a good 5 months now as it’s featured on the cover of Country Living’s Modern Rustic issue #02 [can’t wait for issue #03 which should be out any day now] so I was ecstatic to find some more photos online.

This Italian country home is a great example of adapting an old house and making it fit for 21st century living. The interior features industrial elements like exposed steel girders, pipes and ceiling lighting as well as polished concrete flooring and a hand-built kitchen with cabinets made from wide recycled planks and open shelving.

The layout is family friendly with a large kitchen / dining / living area on the ground floor and super cool in-built bunk beds for the kiddos upstairs. All beds, cabinets and shelves are custom-built from recycled wood and I love the worn, slightly burnt patina which contrasts so well with the industrial elements.

A dream home for me and a successful renovation project where the owners sensitively opened up the previously small windows to let in more light and added wooden shutters to control the heat in the height of summer.

You can book a stay in this delightful luxury space via SpecialUmbria.

INTERIORS CRUSH | PERFECT COLOUR PALETTE

15 April 2015

Perfect-Colour-Palette-via-Hitta-Hem-01

I’ve written about the trend for nude colours and pastel shades on here before and this gorgeous Swedish city apartment fits right into my current obsession with this perfect colour palette.

It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of the use of lots of colour in the home, at least if it’s not counter balanced with neutrals, preferably white, but I do like soft tones like nudes, chalky blues and greens, greys and brown shades and especially contrasts.

Dark and light, black and white, rough and smooth, old and new – for me it creates pace, an interest for the eye and this apartment has plenty of it.

Be it the vintage Bistro chairs paired with a sleek black dining table, the dark grey bedroom with white accents in the skirting, pillows and wall art or the knitted beanbag and tulle lamp shade in the kids bedroom. There are subtle contrasts everywhere which makes for an enjoyable viewing.

And I just LOVE the pale pink and dark grey desk space – smooth, sexy and cool. All styled by the talented duo that is Pella Hedeby and Marie Ramse. Mwah!
