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

13 May 2015

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

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.

INTERIORS BOOK | MONOCHROME HOMES

27 April 2015

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Lotta Agaton’s styling work and her collaborative book ‘Colourful’ with photographer Pia Ulin has got pride of place on my coffee table – just as soon as the kids and their sticky hands have gone to bed.

I’m thrilled to report that Pia has another book coming out. This time a collaboration with stylist Hilary Robertson and the title ‘Monochrome Homes’ says it all and makes my heart beat faster. Here’s a little excerpt to whet your appetite:

Decorating in black and white is perennially popular and eternally chic. Hilary Robertson demonstrates how, whether used alone or together, these contrasting shades can create dramatic effects at home, from the classic to the eclectic.

Order here.

I don’t even know where to begin gushing about this fabulous studio belonging to Swedish art director and stylist Katrin Bååth who coincidentally was part of the duo that shot Monday’s post about Swedish homeware brand Skapha.

Another Jönköpping resident her work for mostly fashion and lifestyle brands is clean and classy and her studio reflects her professional aesthetics. A light and airy space in what looks like an old period building with high ceilings and large windows she’s kept the space mostly white with a few vintage accents mixed with sleek, modern and functional furniture.

My favourite piece has to be her black display cabinet which makes me feel like a kid in a sweet shop. So many gorgeous things to look at and no sticky hands in sight!

Enjoy the fabulous photography by Sara Landstedt and I’m sorry if I’ve inflicted studio envy!
