Interiors: Great Design

I was doing my usual read of one of my favourite blogs, Decor 8, and I happened to see a photo that led me to the website of Piet-Jan van den Kommer who is a wonderful designer of furniture and interiors in the Netherlands. I simply adore the work I see in his photos. Very simple designs made with wonderful materials like concrete, steel, stone and leather, that together create such beauty...wow really...look at how the materials are mixed in this design.. and I especially love the bathroom vanity. So much space and the counter is just beautiful...well done!

Here are a couple of other designers that are wonderful to follow..ONE and TWO..

Enjoy!

Interiors: Designer Perri Wolfman

The Southampton home of Charles Gold the photographer and Perri Wolfman the tableware designer for Restoration Hardware is just what you would expect from two creative people...clever and inspirational! The wing chairs in the living room are some of my favourites from Restoration Hardware, the lighting in the kitchen is so much fun and I love the old framed spoons on the counter! Amazing turquoise chairs hanging in the workroom have fantastic impact on the wall and the green matches on the table look so great in the white ceramic pieces. Love it.. 

Enjoy!

Grand Simplicity

The home of London designer Rose Uniacke is timeless in its simplicity and beauty. Lovely detailed architecture plays well against gorgeous antiques and modern pieces. This home is sooo sophisticated...golds, cream and white mixed with marble and wood give the home a calm and comfortable feeling even with the vastness of each space. So refined and classic that even the stools at the island in the kitchen have gold legs! What a beautiful job Rose has done with this home...

Enjoy!

Found: White Interiors

I had seen some pictures of this house on Facebook and had featured one of the pictures on my page but it was only recently I saw the rest of the home. This home was designed by Found Design and they also have a retail store in Mesa, Arizona.

First of all the house is so well done. The white, cream and taupe decor highlights the amazing beams and the height is used so well with the oversize chandeliers. The whole looks is softened with slipcovered furniture and pops of green plants and flowers throughout. I could move right into this home!

The store is just as gorgeous and gives this same cozy and natural feeling as the wonderful home they designed. Take a look at their website to get some great ideas for your own home. 

Enjoy!

Inspiration In White: Moroccan Style

I was so inspired when I saw the photos below of this wonderful Moroccan Style home all in whites. Usually this style tends to be very colourful so to see these rooms all done in white, black and silver is such a treat. This is the getaway home of designer Valerie Barkowski who also has a home in Brussels.

I have also included the video of her home from the website Interieurs.fr. The video is in French but don't let that stop you from watching it as there are many features in the video that are not shown in the photos! What Valerie explains is how she had different artists help create the furniture and how she created the fabric for the pillows by doing x-rays of flowers! The home is from the 17th century so much of it has been lovingly renovated. The bed cover with the long shirt integrated into the vintage sheets is just stunning.  So beautiful!

This house is available to rent. Contact here www.darkawa.net 

Enjoy!

Jo Malone Offices

Lonny Magazine has another great issue out this month and one of the features I love is showing the offices of Jo Malone. I have been wearing a variety of Jo Malone perfumes for many years and I really appreciate the packaging, the look and feel of the bottles and of course the scent of the perfume. My favourite is Pomegranate Noir and when I wear it someone always mentions how much they like it...

When I saw the offices for Jo Malone it was exactly what I would have expected from the brand. Situated in an 18th-century Georgian townhouse in London's West End it reminds me of one of the stores which looks like the Jo malone packaging.....pretty, feminine and elegant!

Enjoy!

Interiors: Restaurant Höst

Check out these pictures of the restaurant Höst by the architects Norm out of Denmark. I love how they used reclaimed wood and woolen blankets to create a warm and inviting environment. Who would want to leave this place? What the designers did was mix the feeling of eating outside on a Scandinavian farmyard with an urban, more minimalist decor. They also produced a line of tableware for the restaurant as well as design custom tables and seating. 

The cuisine uses traditional ingredients of Nordic cooking made modern and new. Very much like the design of this wonderful space.

Enjoy!

Beach House- Lonny Magazine

I was looking at some back issues of Lonny Magazine and came across this fantastic beach house in Malibu. First of all, I love California! Yes I would go to LA anytime. I have always had great trips there for work and for fun. Second, to live in Malibu on the water would be rather nice don't you think....? This beach house of designer Tobi Tobin really appeals to me not only because it is all white but it is such a great mix of old and new items that make this home very personal. Check out these photos and the video as well..

Enjoy!

Loft Makeunder

The East Village loft of designer John Derian was a makeunder project and not a makeover. His desire to keep the original patina of the place is evident in the walls and floors of this former garment factory. Rather than taking the typical approach of removing and replacing the old he has done a fantastic job of lightly restoring and even leaving certain elements that give this loft such character. The antiques and art in the living room are what I really love..

Enjoy!

Fashionable Home

This is the home of Swedish fashion designer Naja Munthe. Again, the simplicity of the furnishings and colour palette are perfect. Some things that really jump out at me as great ideas are the low hanging pendant lights over the coffee table as well as the glass panelled windows that create the entry into the dining room! Stunning...I also love the wall of books in the dining room. Very original home.

Enjoy!
