Inside an Interior Designer’s French Modern Hilltop Home

This blog post offers an exclusive tour of Dallas-based interior designer Erin Sander's custom-built home in University Park, highlighting her unique design philosophy of 'relaxed, refined luxury' and 'Belgian farmhouse' aesthetic. The 5,000-square-foot estate, featuring four bedrooms and five baths, was constructed from the ground up on a quarter-acre lot, with Sander herself drawing the floor and architectural plans. The design emphasizes natural light and understated yet impactful details, drawing inspiration from her travels and other design projects. The home’s architectural features include a long hallway terminating in a window, with steps leading to the second floor, designed to create visually appealing focal points. Custom light fixtures and detailed wood flooring were also designed by Sander. The living room, a space optimized for practicality for her young children, features performance fabrics, a custom grasscloth-covered coffee table, and artwork by Katrine Hildebrandt. An annex, originally Sander's home office, now serves as a family study. This vaulted, story-and-a-half space offers ample storage and privacy. The kitchen is a central highlight, showcasing rift-sawn white oak flooring and hand-hewn Douglas fir beams. A striking pale blue Lacanche oven range, chosen early in the design process due to its year-long procurement time, sets the tone for other blue accents in the space. Other notable kitchen elements include an unlacquered brass faucet by Waterstone and a backsplash by Clé Tile. Over the eye-catching island, custom-made fixtures from Urban Electric Company in a hand-hewn brass finish are suspended. Scandinavian-designed stools provide practical seating, and decorative bowls, including a vintage piece from Sander’s grandmother and ceramics by Sara Kersten, add personal touches. The honed marble countertops were intentionally chosen to observe their wear and tear over time, informing her client recommendations. Café curtains made from hand-blocked fabric by Galbraith & Paul add another layer of detail. The dining room combines vintage McGuire chairs, re-covered in Peter Dunham fabric, with contemporary art by Addie Chapin. Exposed brick and a light fixture from Currey & Company contribute to a modern yet cozy atmosphere. A collection of pewter dishes, including pieces from her mother and finds from the vendor Unrefined, adds dark contrast and personal history to the dining area. A custom coffee station, a testament to the family’s love for coffee, features a La Spaziale espresso machine with walnut panels, open shelving, and an Ann Sacks’ Savoy series backsplash. This functional space is equipped with refrigerator drawers for coffee essentials. The primary bedroom boasts a whimsical Oly Studio light fixture depicting a flock of birds, vintage cabinets from Juxtaposition Home, custom lamps, and quadrille bedding. The master bathroom includes custom white oak vanities and hand-cut limestone floors laid in a unique pattern, accented with tiny blue celeste marble mosaics. The home's exterior features a mix of materials like lime-washed brick and cedar shake, surrounded by live oaks and potted olive trees, creating an approachable street view. A custom wood bench from David Sutherland is nestled among Savannah holly trees in the backyard. The article provides a comprehensive look into an interior designer's personal residence, showcasing a blend of functionality, luxury, and personal style. #InteriorDesign #CustomHome #DallasHomes #HomeFeatures #LuxuryInteriors #BelgianFarmhouse #DesignerHome #HomeDecor #ErinSanderDesign

Artist Stephanie Dillon and her husband, Reilly, were captivated by a model home in Eden Prairie, which boasted a blend of whitewashed shiplap and shakes on its exterior, creating a timeless and airy aesthetic. The interior featured light-filled communal spaces, each with a distinct character, moving away from conventional floorplans. The color scheme ranged from calming charcoals and pale neutrals to deep greens and rich terra-cotta, evoking a European atmosphere. Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang, owner of West Bay Homes and the designer behind the model, drew inspiration from her travels to Paris, characterizing the style as French contemporary farmhouse. She envisioned the kitchen as a French pastry shop, integrating multiple layers of meticulously detailed materials throughout the 5,000-square-foot residence. The kitchen's design incorporates three types of glazed tiles for the backsplashes, with a small hexagonal tile chosen for its light-reflecting properties, contributing to an elevated visual experience. Dillon, an acrylic and mixed-media artist known for painting her emotions, found a kindred spirit in Vogelgesang, whose design philosophy also prioritized passion and feeling. Dillon retained Vogelgesang to complete the interior design of their new home. The designer expressed enthusiasm for incorporating Dillon's extensive rug collection. Elements like shiplap and painted charcoal, seen on the exterior, were repeated inside on the basement's fireplace wall and the vaulted ceiling of a lounge area adjacent to the kitchen, along with charcoal-colored square tiles extending from counter to ceiling in the kitchen backsplash. This repetition of color ensures cohesiveness and a holistic progression throughout the home, where all environmental elements relate to one another. Vogelgesang skillfully managed the abundance of materials, preventing a busy or cluttered appearance, much like Dillon blends colors on her canvases. Some design choices stand out, others recede, and some shimmer, collectively defining the mood of each space. The materials coalesce into a balanced and proportionate composition, resulting in a home tailored for an artist. Vogelgesang aims to create spaces that are timeless and elegant without being overly delicate or cost-prohibitive. The lower-level bar area features charcoal shiplap around the fireplace, painted in Sherwin-Williams’s Dorian Gray, and steps down into a sunken media room, showcasing the designer’s preferred brass and gray combination. Brass hardware also adorns the front entry doors. Light fixtures, including those from Mitzi on the library ladder, were strategically chosen. The unexpected entry leads to a "dining hall" that functions as a grand foyer, as described by Vogelgesang. This space features nine-inch-wide-plank white oak floors laid in a herringbone pattern, with ceiling beams bisecting its soaring height, allowing ample natural light. The built-in bar features a backsplash of alternating light and dark neutral tiles, custom cabinetry with dental molding, and a marble sink skirt. Open shelving in the kitchen displays two sizes of backsplash tiles from The Tile Shop, with custom alder wood cabinetry finished with a clear whitewashed stain and brass hardware for an enhanced shimmer. The kitchen, inspired by Parisian pastry shops, includes two islands for ease of navigation, with only one housing a sink to allow for uninterrupted dining on the other. The mudroom boasts large-format heated tiles combined with white oak cabinetry, finished in a whitewash stain, offering an industrial concrete look harmonized with French country cabinetry. A basement guest bath incorporates vibrant color through whimsical floral tiles from The Tile Shop on one wall and Sherwin-Williams’s Perfect Periwinkle on the adjacent wall. The library features a bold mix of Sherwin-Williams paints: Canyon Clay on the walls and Gauntlet Gray in a high-gloss enamel finish on the moldings and doors, complemented by chartreuse chairs. A wide-plank whitewashed cedar wall on the rear deck provides privacy. The prep kitchen off the mudroom embraces color with Waverly Classics wallpaper by York, cabinets painted in Sherwin-Williams’s Green Onyx, and a hammered copper sink, showcasing how personal touches can enhance practical areas. The powder room dazzles with an antiqued mirrored glass tile wall from The Tile Shop, a custom white oak vanity with a marble shelf, and Savoy House sconces. The floors throughout the home incorporate patterned ceramic tiles from The Tile Shop. The home's floor plan, while a traditional rambler, diverges into an unconventional layout where the front entry opens into a vaulted foyer and dining room, serving as a pass-through to the kitchen and great room. #HomeStyle #InteriorDesign #HomeTours #FrenchContemporaryFarmhouse #CustomCabinetry #TileDesign #ArtisticHome #ArchitecturalDetails #EuropeanInfluence

The article presents an exclusive tour of the Mountain Brook, Alabama home of interior designer Annie Bayer Goldberg, co-founder of AG Interior Design. Collaborating with her design partner Ginny Monheit Maguire, Goldberg transformed a traditional 1970s house into a space that reflects her personal style while offering practical design advice. The renovation prioritized minimal structural changes, focusing instead on impactful cosmetic updates. The initial design challenge involved addressing the dated and traditional aesthetic, particularly the extensive dark wood paneling prevalent throughout the home. Their primary strategy, often recommended to clients, involved repainting the wooden walls white. This choice preserved the home's traditional architectural integrity while imbuing the space with a modern feel. The white paint effectively highlighted the intricate details of the paneling and molding, demonstrating its transformative power. The family room, while maintaining its traditional white paneled walls and classic molding, integrates modern elements such as pop art, patterned side chairs, and a cowhide rug. Annie's preference for black and white is evident, balanced with unexpected touches of color, like yellow pillows. The living room features white walls and sofas, allowing colorful artwork and pink pillows to stand out. Antiques are strategically incorporated to introduce warmth and a sense of history, including three antique shields in the family room that align with the black and white theme. The foyer showcases a mid-century modern table, and careful consideration was given to furniture proportions to complement the high ceilings. The formal living room, for instance, features a large William McLure artwork above the fireplace, tall bookcases, and a substantial wooden bead chandelier to maintain scale. The dining room blends French-style chairs and an antique French sideboard with a modern mirrored table. A black-and-white dining nook is characterized by red gilded stools, acrylic ghost chairs, a ghost chandelier, statement wallpaper, and a contemporary table and centerpiece. A significant element of the design is the strategic use of black accents to create dramatic flair and cohesion. High-gloss black paint was applied to the cased openings in the foyer. The dining room walls and ceiling, as well as the powder bath walls, were painted black, and the hardwood floors were stained black. The master suite continues this theme with black bedroom walls and a striking black and white striped marble tile floor in the bathroom. This consistent use of black and white contributes to a fresh, clean, and unified aesthetic throughout the home. Splashes of color are introduced to further modernize the traditional setting. Pink accents appear in pillows in the family and formal living rooms, and colorful artwork, including pieces by William McLure, provides vibrant focal points. The central hallway features a bold Ralph Lauren Chinese red grasscloth wall covering, creating a significant impact without overwhelming the adjacent spaces. Annie's daughter Emory's room features a whimsical large pink and white stripe wall covering, LED "LOVE" marquee letters, and soft pink and white tones designed to adapt as she grows. Her daughter Madison's room is adorned with girly Ralph Lauren pink bow wallpaper and gold accents. Her son Pierce's room, initially monochromatic in shades of gray, is enlivened with playful stuffed animal mounts and increasing pops of color to reflect his developing personality. The playroom, an oversized space with a wall of bookshelves, was organized with professional help. The home’s traditional roots are respected, yet the integration of modern elements, color, and unique pieces results in a fun, outgoing, warm, and inviting atmosphere. #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #TraditionalModernBlend #MountainBrookHome #AnnieBayerGoldberg #AGInteriorDesign #BlackAndWhiteDecor #HomeRenovation #ResidentialDesign

Country style interior design has been a consistently popular aesthetic, continuously evolving from its less refined 1990s iteration, characterized by a blue and yellow palette, frilly curtains, and ubiquitous checkered fabric. The modern interpretation of country interiors embraces bold, bright hues in fabrics, moving away from outdated floral prints. Alternatively, contemporary country design can forgo color and pattern entirely, focusing on rich layers of earthy textures, such as linen and rustic timbers, often within all-white interiors. This contemporary approach demonstrates the versatility of modern country style, adapting to various aesthetic preferences while retaining its core essence. While all-white interiors remain a favored choice for modern country farmhouses and cottages, some homes distinguish themselves through the use of darker, moodier shades, providing a contemporary contrast. Despite these variations in color and texture, the fundamental principles of country style remain constant, drawing inspiration from both Shaker and French-provincial design movements. Essential to a quintessential country home are antique and handcrafted furniture pieces, prioritizing unique, quality items over mass-produced goods. These spaces are inherently designed to be cozy, practical, and filled with cherished, sentimental ornaments, fostering an inviting and personal atmosphere. Examples illustrate this evolution, showcasing a range of modern country applications. A coastal farmhouse features an all-white mudroom accented with navy blue cabinetry and a traditional farmhouse sink, proving that practicality can be stylish. Melissa Penfold's French provincial kitchen, centered around a black wood-burning stove, exemplifies how a single focal point can elevate traditional finishes. A luxe country home, comprising two distinct barn-like structures, uses exposed reclaimed timber trusses and a recycled brick fireplace to create an expansive yet rustic feel, harmonizing with its beachside location. Greg Natale’s redesign of a horse stud homestead includes a dramatic powder room with a leather saddle, subtly echoing the country setting. A restored South Australian homestead blends industrial elements like concrete and steel with country touches such as clay herringbone flooring and timber shelving in its mudroom, creating an edgy yet welcoming family space. In a modern country farmhouse in rural Brisbane, even the laundry room is transformed into a functional and aesthetically pleasing area with a ceramic farmhouse sink and duck-egg blue custom cabinetry. Heritage homesteads like Como by Design integrate modern elements, such as ultra-violet rugs and vibrant botanical wallpaper, to infuse new energy while respecting historical integrity. Monochromatic palettes are common in contemporary country homes, as seen in Louise Keats’ modern farmhouse in the NSW Southern Highlands, where subdued interiors allow the natural landscape to dominate. Coastal homes, such as one in Copacabana, achieve a trendy country vibe with stainless steel benches and black plywood cabinetry. An extension to a mid-19th-century cottage in Mudgee incorporates rammed earth, glass, and polycarbonate, enhancing its texture-rich dining room with a traditional farmhouse table and concrete flooring. Chyka Keebaugh’s Mornington Peninsula weekender embodies country charm, despite its proximity to both farms and the beach. Renovated farmhouses, such as one on Madstone Farm, blend traditional elements like subway tiling with contemporary features for a modern country kitchen. A family home in rural Victoria designed by Deb and Stuart Higgins features a double-sided fireplace, central to its design that maximizes views and accommodates family life. Finally, a farmhouse in Brook Downs, designed with the help of an interior-designer son, reinterprets the traditional farmhouse look with matte black surfaces, timber, steel cathedral ceilings, and a stone fireplace. Terragong, a bed and breakfast, masterfully combines botanical prints, geometric tiles, and indoor greenery, embodying modern country style on the NSW South Coast. Palisa Anderson's farmhouse kitchen in Byron Bay's hinterland employs a moody color scheme and auction finds to create a fresh, eclectic look. These examples collectively demonstrate the diverse and evolving nature of modern country interior design. #ModernCountryStyle #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #FarmhouseDesign #Renovation #TexturedInteriors #ShakerStyle #FrenchProvincial #HomeTours

This article explores the application of French provincial interior design in an Australian home, guided by interior designer Becc Burgmann. Originating in rural France during the 1600s, the French provincial style, characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and country-inspired elements, has found a natural fit within the Australian environment and lifestyle. Burgmann highlights the core features of this style, including the use of reclaimed wood, wrought iron, whitewash finishes, and natural textiles like linen and cotton, and details how these elements were incorporated into a client's home. The article delves into various rooms, beginning with a bedroom featuring high ceilings, existing cornices, and a picture rail. To enhance the space, an antique-style Ralph Lauren wallpaper was introduced, complementing the architectural details. The bedroom blends vintage furniture with subtle modern touches, such as a calico tote bag, demonstrating how a minimalist approach to modern pieces can add personality without clashing. Burgmann emphasizes using striking, yet not overly busy, modern elements, like an oatmeal fabric bedhead with white piping, to achieve a cohesive look. Two living areas are discussed: a more formal space designed for elegance and sophistication while remaining user-friendly. Key provincial details in this room include wainscoting, wallpaper, parquetry flooring, a neutral color scheme, and specific lighting fixtures like pendant and wall sconces. Burgmann explains that these architectural components are crucial for creating a "wow" factor, asserting that good interior architecture can make a room impressive even before furniture is added. The article also touches on the use of contrasting and complementary colors and patterns. Burgmann advocates for a chosen color palette or theme but encourages boldness in mixing different looks, provided they align with the overall style to maintain cohesion. The importance of wall treatments like wainscoting is highlighted, with examples of varying heights in different rooms to add interest. Flooring choices are also significant, as seen with a traditional checkerboard floor in the laundry, light French travertine in the bathroom, and darker chocolate flooring elsewhere, all harmonizing within the design. Chandeliers and pendant lights are identified as integral to the French provincial aesthetic, with a specific antique brass chandelier chosen for the dining room for its style and ability to complement other design elements. The kitchen incorporates farmhouse sinks to introduce a country vibe and balance the space, with Burgmann noting how such details can add visual interest even in smaller areas. Styling elements, such as a jug with wooden utensils and a cake stand with pears, contribute to the overall aesthetic. Counter stools with a washed timber look, grey seat pads, and metal studs add a luxurious touch and demonstrate attention to detail. Finally, a bathroom designed with a "Parisian hotel luxe vibe" features marble flooring in a herringbone pattern, floor-to-ceiling wainscoting, marble benchtops, a soft grey and white palette, and chrome wall sconces. Another bathroom utilizes Versailles tiles that mimic timber for a wet area, paired with French travertine subway tiles and white paint, creating a rustic yet elegant and feminine space. The designer's advice consistently revolves around selecting a color palette or theme and embracing different shades to build character. #FrenchProvincial #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #BeccBurgmann #AustralianHomes #ArchitecturalElements #DecorStyling #LuxuryInteriors #RenovationIdeas

This article explores a Parisian pied-à-terre, designed by Champeau & Wilde, for a young couple seeking a blend of classical and modern aesthetics. Located on the Quai Voltaire, across from the Louvre, the apartment captures the essence of 19th-century Parisian style while incorporating contemporary elements. The interior design studio, Champeau & Wilde, led by Laurent Champeau and Kelli Wilde, is known for its ability to infuse French sophistication into their projects, balancing historical references with modern sensibilities to create harmonious and livable spaces. Their approach involves a subtle alliance of contemporary and classical elements, tailored to clients' desires. The clients' vision for their 1,500 sq ft apartment in Saint-Germain-des-Prés was to evoke a 19th-century feel while ensuring it reflected their personal style and the romance of Paris. The original three-bedroom layout was reconfigured into two bedrooms, featuring an adjoining walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom, optimizing the use of space. The design incorporates quintessential French architectural details, such as crown mouldings and overdoors, which are then given a modern twist through the integration of contemporary art, like abstract collages by Francis Montanier, and modern furniture pieces, such as a zebra-print bench. Champeau & Wilde's signature style is characterized by this interlacing of bold patterns, diverse textures, and contemporary forms with traditional elements. They excel at combining bespoke and vintage furnishings to achieve individuality, emphasizing that schemes that are too uniform lose interest. A key aspect of their design philosophy is the strategic use of color and texture, often featuring splashes of bold hues against neutral, soft backgrounds. For instance, in the living room, a leopard-print rug and a blue sofa provide striking accents against off-white walls, creating visual interest without overwhelming the space. The kitchen maintains a casual yet classical appeal through its neutral palette, while the bedroom also predominantly features neutral tones to foster a calming atmosphere. The master bathroom highlights the designers' strengths in functionality and aesthetic appeal, featuring a his-and-hers sink layout with ample storage. The collaboration between Laurent Champeau, whose style is described as more rigorous and classically French, and Kelli Wilde, who brings a freer and more playful touch, is pivotal to their success. This partnership allows them to deliver comprehensively designed projects that resonate with their clients' aspirations while maintaining their distinctive design ethos. The article showcases how Champeau & Wilde successfully married the past with the present in this Parisian pied-à-terre, creating a space that is both timeless and uniquely personal. #InteriorDesign #HouseTour #ParisianApartment #ClassicalModern #ChampeauWilde #FrenchInterior #HomeDecor #Design

French country houses serve as a significant source of inspiration for creating rustic yet elegant interiors, blending character with a balance of old and new. This style, marked by beautiful architecture and charming decor, offers numerous ideas for homes of various ages and styles, advocating for a lived-in aesthetic and personal touch often overlooked in current trends. This article explores five distinct French country homes, detailing how their owners and designers have crafted characterful and charming schemes. The first example is Maison Noe in Dax, a 1806 'maison de maître' owned by interior designer Benji Lewis. The home features classic symmetrical facades and natural stone brickwork. Lewis's renovation approach emphasizes retaining the original structure's authenticity and reinstating period-appropriate materials. He primarily furnished the home with pieces from local brocantes and antique shops, ensuring they fit scale drawings, and focused on reconditioning and recovering upholstered items to balance preloved charm with comfort. Lewis stresses the importance of a 'brocante factor' to achieve a successful French country look, advising a balance between controlled purchases and a curated mix of interesting items. Manoir Mouret in South West France, built in the 1850s, exemplifies an idyllic French country home surrounded by vineyards. Owner Margaret Reckitt describes the 'maison de maître' as having barns sensitively converted into accommodation. The interiors feature a unifying color palette across all buildings, creating a sense of calm with occasional pops of color. Fabrics and wall coverings often incorporate nature themes, reflecting the surrounding landscape. Antiques, frequently sourced from local fairs, add layers of interest and connect the home to its agricultural history. Sara Silm's petit chateau in the Béarn region, dating back to the 1850s, showcases an enduring old-meets-new aesthetic. Silm, author of "How to French Country," focused on preserving the original charm during restoration. Her color palette is inspired by the local landscape and aged patinas of shutters and doors. Silm layers textures, often starting with the floor using vintage Persian rugs or natural sisal, which contrast with old floorboards or travertine flagstones. She emphasizes a relaxed, unfussy design, integrating wallpaper from her collaboration with Sandberg Wallpaper to express personality and enhance the intimate, warm French country style. Finally, a Maison de Maître in the South of France, owned by Jane Grainger, presents a grand entry with a neutral-finished exterior, offering a more elegant facade than traditional stone. Built in the mid-1800s, this home blends traditional French country style with contemporary additions, designed to feel like a family home while respecting its historical context. Grainger sourced many preloved furniture pieces from brocantes and vide greniers. The home's architectural details, such as well-proportioned rooms, large windows, Juliet balconies, and wooden shutters, are integral to its French country charm, creating a sense of history and light. The overarching lesson from these French country homes is that a harmonious blend of old and new, combined with comfortable, laid-back living, is essential for infusing a home with country charm and character. #FrenchCountryHomes #InteriorDesign #RusticStyle #AntiqueDecor #HomeRenovation #HistoricHomes #DesignInspiration #LivedInAesthetic

Interior designer Bee Osborn shares the story and design choices behind her idyllic country cottage in the Cotswolds, a home that became a permanent family residence during the pandemic. The article details the extensive, yet thoughtful, renovations undertaken to transform a tired three-bedroom property into a warm, stylish, and functional living space. Osborn emphasizes the use of texture, natural materials, and practical space-saving solutions throughout the house. The renovation began with the property itself, which had been in the same family for years and was in need of updating. Osborn, initially looking for a rental, stumbled upon the cottage and felt an immediate connection, likening it to her childhood home. She purchased and moved into the cottage with her builders, who started gutting and rewiring the property immediately. The transformation of the kitchen is highlighted, where a tiny original kitchen was expanded by integrating an accessible barn. Osborn decided to maintain the barn's original sunken level and natural walls, creating a unique feature. Reclaimed materials were extensively used, including an old kitchen floor for the roof and a stripped-down original Crittall window that now forms doors. The flooring in the kitchen is 'Barnwood Floor' from Osborn Interiors, and the cabinets were custom-made by a local joiner with a natural, raw wood finish. High-end pendant lights from Pinch were a significant investment, balancing the rustic elements with smart design. The kitchen also features a TV snug with L-shaped seating made from repurposed fence planks, equipped with built-in USB plugs, and a mirrored TV from Picture Frame TV with a custom-painted frame. The dining room boasts a large, custom-made pendant from Hadeda, serving as a focal point within a nine-circuit lighting scheme that creates subtle pools of light. The main attraction is a resin and 10-year-old oak table, meticulously crafted over four months, which has proven both beautiful and practical. The Blue Room, inspired by an inky off-black wall in a previous office, features a sofabed custom-made to fit the space and contrasting with the dark wall color. Despite planning permission issues for French windows, a large window was installed. Linen fabrics, leather, and wicker are used throughout, reflecting Osborn's preference for natural materials. The living room maintains its original fireplace, with versatile hampers and baskets serving as storage and side tables. The paint color in this room is a custom mix, and artwork is sourced from antique markets. The master suite, initially a small room with limited space, underwent a significant redesign. Osborn removed the fireplace and stained glass window to reorient the bed and create space for an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom connects visually with the downstairs through wood-clad ceilings and walls from a reclamation center, and hidden cupboards are integrated throughout. The en-suite bathroom includes a second-hand eBay bath and discreetly placed loo. Expensive Porta Romana lights and Anthropologie wardrobe handles add luxurious touches. All bedrooms feature 100% linen sheets for a relaxed aesthetic. Finally, an outdoor 'Pod' by Sandman Homes, measuring 3m x 5m, is made from reclaimed wood, features a wildflower roof, an electric wood burner, and collected baskets, providing an additional charming space. Osborn's design philosophy prioritizes natural materials, thoughtful construction, and practical solutions, creating a harmonious and personalized home. Osborn's work can be further explored through her Instagram and website, OsbornInteriors.com. #InteriorDesign #CotswoldsCottage #HomeRenovation #NaturalMaterials #SustainableDesign #ReclaimedWood #SpaceSavingSolutions #CountryLiving #BeeOsborn

A two-decade-old Hilltop property, despite its spacious floor plan and proximity to local parks, presented an aesthetic challenge for its new owners. The house, initially characterized by traditional design elements such as sweeping staircases with turned-wood balusters, red-oak-paneled libraries, shimmering chandeliers, arched windows, ornately beaded and beveled cabinetry, and extensive crown molding, was deemed to have a "cupcake-style detailing" that did not align with the family's desire for a softer, calmer, and more welcoming style. To address this, the owners enlisted the expertise of Robin Bryant, lead designer at Factor Design Build, and interior designer Beth Armijo, to undertake a comprehensive aesthetic overhaul. Bryant meticulously preserved the home's structural integrity, retaining architectural features like the arched picture windows, paneled walls, and coffered ceilings. However, she introduced contemporary elements to modernize the space. This included installing sleek new fireplaces and twin sets of steel-framed sliding glass doors in the family room to enhance indoor-outdoor connectivity. The powder room received a bold update with hexagonal tiles on floors and walls, transitioning into a vibrant botanical-print wall covering. The main staircase was transformed by replacing traditional spindles and newel posts with modern metal balusters. _The kitchen, in particular, underwent a significant transformation from its early-aughts appearance. Bryant replaced stainless-steel appliances, a glass mosaic backsplash, and abundant golden oak cabinetry with whitewashed white-oak slab cabinet doors and a backsplash of taupe, ribbed glass tile. A streamlined plaster hood and a modern, folding-panel window were added to one wall, opening to the outdoor dining area. An adjacent wall featured floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with bronze-tinted glass cupboards in aluminum frames, providing an industrial yet sophisticated touch. Matte-white quartz perimeter countertops completed the kitchen's refined backdrop. The centerpiece of the kitchen became a massive slab of Blue Marine quartzite for the island, which introduced a dynamic color palette of robin’s egg blue and gold. These colors were then strategically incorporated throughout the house by Armijo. For instance, a newly created intimate sitting room adjacent to the main bedroom was adorned with a botanical-print wall covering in pale blue and green hues, which extended into the main bedroom's textiles and art. The dining room saw chairs upholstered in smoky blue and vibrant chartreuse, contrasting with warm white walls and trim. The study was dramatically updated with a coat of blackened-teal paint on its paneled walls and coffered ceiling, and the French doors were painted a fresh citron color. Armijo’s intention was to merge traditional structural elements with modern finishes and furniture to achieve a timeless European aesthetic. The selection of new furnishings reflected the homeowners' adventurous spirit, featuring sculptural side tables and playful chandeliers. A curved living room sofa and rounded swivel chairs were chosen to soften the home's rigid formality. Armijo also emphasized the use of diverse textures, incorporating hearty wool rugs, soft sheer and linen draperies, chunky chenilles, wool bouclés, and plush velvets. The design focused on texture and color rather than excessive pattern, drawing visual interest from the architecture's geometries and the furniture's curves. This collaborative effort between Bryant and Armijo successfully transformed the Hilltop home into a vibrant, modern, and welcoming space that reflects the owners' personality and willingness to embrace innovative design. #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #ColorPalette #ModernRenovation #HilltopHome #CustomFurniture #LuxuryInteriors #ArchitecturalPreservation #TexturalElements

Tom Cox, co-founder of HÁM Interiors, offers a tour of his London home, showcasing the design principles that define his family-run studio. HÁM Interiors, established in 2011 by Nick, Pamela, and Tom Cox, is recognized for its blend of timeless and contemporary design, focusing on creating comfortable and high-quality spaces for busy family lives. This article provides insights into Cox's personal design choices and the renovation process of his Victorian mansion block apartment. The property, a Victorian mansion block, was chosen for its location between two parks and its strong architecture, offering great views and abundant natural light. Despite being run down, it possessed salvageable features. The renovation involved a complete makeover, with a key modification being the introduction of a large, glazed partition between the kitchen and living room to open up the space. The apartment now includes two bathrooms and two bedrooms, with one bedroom repurposed as a dressing room, maximizing functionality within the existing structure. Cox's design approach emphasizes a bold color palette, leveraging the apartment's ample natural light. The living room features Farrow & Ball's 'Pigeon,' while the bedroom adopts a lighter but similarly toned 'Hardwick White.' The kitchen uses Dulux's 'Brilliant White' for walls, complemented by darker greens like Farrow & Ball's 'Card Room Green' for cabinetry, and an antique dresser to unify the aesthetic. This strategic use of color creates a distinct atmosphere in each area while maintaining a cohesive flow throughout the apartment. The kitchen, a central element of HÁM Interiors' business, was personally designed and installed by Cox's in-house team. A notable feature is the antique drapers table serving as an island, customized with antique castors for added height and a custom unlacquered brass sheet inlay for practicality and an edgy look. Lighting above the island was sourced from an antiques fair, and the tiles have a simple matte glazed finish. Cox expresses a preference for Liebherr fridges for their utilitarian design, Lacanche cookers for their colors and metal finishes, and Waterworks for kitchen taps, specifically the RW Atlas range. For china, Miranda Berrow mugs and Laguiole cutlery are highlighted. Artwork plays a significant role in Cox's home. He is an avid collector, sourcing pieces during his travels and through his design work, often frequenting antique shops and flea markets. HÁM Interiors also launched an online store for curated artwork. Sidney Teodoruk's early work is a personal favorite. Cox emphasizes the importance of framing, using a mix of antique and contemporary styles to create an eclectic feel. Picture lights and ceiling-mounted directional spotlights are strategically used to illuminate and enhance the details and colors of the paintings. The living room's design incorporates reclaimed glazed panels from a shop front, adapted and hand-painted in a distressed finish to preserve their character and create a sense of expanded space. The ceiling light is from Circa Lighting, available through HÁM Interiors' online store. The dining table combines a custom-made, painted base with an old farmhouse top. Furnishings include an antique armoire, serving as a bookcase and whisky cabinet, and an antique chest of drawers from Brownrigg. Fabric choices for the sofa are William Yeoward, while the window seat uses Christopher Farr fabric, and Fermoie cushions add varied textures and patterns. The bedroom and en suite bathroom are designed as a cool, calm, and connected space. High ceilings allowed for a three-quarter height wall between the two areas, incorporating an open archway instead of a door. This design choice maximizes light and space in the small bathroom and allows views of the reclaimed vanity and antique mirror from the bedroom. Tongue and groove detailing adds subtle texture in the bathroom, with a striking contrast between the shower tiles and the marble sink with reclaimed vanity. The bed from Soho Home features ticking fabric, reflecting a core element of HÁM Interiors' aesthetic. Lighting includes two globe lanterns from JAMB. Artworks in the bedroom include a large painting by British artist Maurice Cockerill, a trumpet piece by David Shrigley, and a reclaimed sign from Somerset. In the dressing room, joinery extends to the ceiling with integrated skirting details, painted in the same color as the walls, windows, and ceiling to create a unified and spacious feel. This room also serves as a display area for Cox's growing art collection, reflecting the studio's philosophy of incorporating art seamlessly into interior design. The article concludes by inviting readers to explore Studio HÁM's online shop and HÁM Interiors' studio for further design inspiration and services. #InteriorDesign #HomeTour #VictorianArchitecture #ColorPalette #KitchenDesign #ArtCollection #LivingRoom #BedroomDesign #BathroomDesign #HÁMInteriors

This article is the second part of a five-week series detailing the design project of the Hilltop Estate, specifically focusing on its living and dining areas. The living room and dining room are presented as a cohesive, larger space, characterized by a high ceiling vault. The design approach emphasizes a sense of continuity, achieved through elements like uniform drapery and symmetrical chandeliers. The color palette employed throughout these spaces is softened, featuring peaceful and calming tones, with black accents strategically used to complement the bold steel windows. In the living room, a focal point is created by built-in shelving constructed around a limestone fireplace. The design pays meticulous attention to molding details and the selection of décor accessories. A notable feature within the built-in shelving is a flannel-textured wallpaper backdrop, adding a subtle textural dimension to the space. The article highlights the Studio McGee design approach of mixing furniture styles, illustrated by the use of spindle lounge chairs that complement a cream-colored sofa without being an exact set. Furthermore, a blue-gray sofa with a distinct shape and upholstery is incorporated, contributing to a diverse yet harmonious furniture arrangement. Shea McGee, the designer, articulates the design objective for the living space: to create an environment that feels elegant and refined but remains comfortable and practical for the clients' lifestyle. This balance between aesthetics and livability is a core principle guiding the design decisions for the Hilltop Estate. The dining room, which adjoins the living area, features two prominent long walls. These walls are utilized to introduce height and scale into the space. One wall is adorned with a sideboard and a mirror, which not only serves a functional purpose but also reflects the surrounding views, enhancing the room's spaciousness. The opposite wall features a large hutch, providing both aesthetic interest and valuable storage capacity, contributing to the room's overall functionality and style. The integration of these elements ensures that the dining room, while distinct, maintains the overarching design philosophy and aesthetic continuity established in the living room. The article underscores the thoughtful consideration given to every detail, from architectural features to furniture selection and decorative accents, all working in concert to create a sophisticated yet comfortable living and dining experience within the Hilltop Estate. The design aims to blend traditional and modern elements seamlessly, resulting in a timeless and inviting home. #HilltopEstate #InteriorDesign #LivingRoomDesign #DiningRoomDesign #HomeDecor #DesignContinuity #FurnitureStyling #StudioMcGee

Daniel Fletcher, a renowned fashion designer, showcases his unique four-storey flat in a converted warehouse in Southwark, London. His home, a former hops factory from the late 19th century, was originally two separate flats that were combined when the top floor owners acquired the lower unit, integrating the communal staircase into their living space. The residence boasts two kitchens, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms, providing ample space for Fletcher, who meticulously curates his surroundings. Fletcher, known for his wearable yet subtly subversive fashion aesthetic, launched his label after graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2015, quickly gaining recognition with Harry Styles as his first customer. He was nominated for the LVMH prize in 2017 and was a finalist on Netflix's 'Next in Fashion.' More recently, he was appointed Royal Ascot's inaugural creative director, overseeing their annual Lookbook and Millinery Collective. His design philosophy, which he applies to both fashion collections and his home, starts with a neutral base of cream, black, or navy, accented with pops of color. Despite the industrial nature of the warehouse, characterized by exposed brick, Fletcher has successfully created a "minimalist cosy" atmosphere. He incorporates soft textures like bouclé and traditional tailoring fabrics such as canvas and calico to soften the raw elements. Key furniture pieces include a fuzzy cream sofa, a low-slung, mid-century-style chair from Bali, a walnut dining table from Habitat, and a three-legged marble table from Soho Home. These blend seamlessly with reclaimed wood featuring rusted nails, repurposed by architects for beams and drawer fronts. Fletcher's creative endeavors extend beyond fashion and interior design. His kitchen shelves display ceramics he crafted during a six-week course in Hackney, demonstrating his versatility and hands-on approach. Large canvases, painted after intense work periods, adorn his living space, reflecting his artistic heritage inherited from his art teacher grandmother, whose works also grace his walls. These include a line drawing of a cow and a landscape of Arizona painted in 1990, given to him on his 21st birthday. The home is filled with items of significant sentimental value. A giant photograph of an iceberg by Andrew Irwin commemorates Fletcher's trip to Antarctica. In his bedroom, a framed LP sleeve of the Rolling Stones’ 'Goat’s Head Soup' serves as a tribute to his late father and inspired his autumn/winter 2022 collection. Pieces from the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition further personalize the space. The flat also functions as a relaxed setting for client fittings, offering a more personal experience away from the bustling studio, attended by notable figures like Nick Grimshaw, Douglas Booth, James McAvoy, and Marcelino Sambé. Fletcher's home is a testament to his comprehensive design vision, blending industrial architecture with personal touches, art, and sentimental objects to create a harmonious and inviting living environment that reflects his creative journey and personal history. #DanielFletcher #FashionDesigner #WarehouseConversion #MinimalistCosy #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #SouthwarkFlat #ArtisticHome #ReclaimedMaterials

Jean-Christophe Aumas, an art director based in Paris, embraces an instinctive and fluid approach to interior design, viewing his apartment as an evolving laboratory rather than a static space. He frequently rearranges furniture, repaints walls, and groups objects in new configurations, emphasizing that "Nothing is permanent." His Parisian apartment is situated on the ground floor of an 18th-century hôtel particulier in Pigalle, a property that immediately captivated him with its cathedral-like ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, and original herringbone parquet floors during his initial visit in 2016. The stained-glass windows and a small courtyard were particular draws, and these glass mosaics significantly influenced the apartment's vibrant color palette, featuring vivid blues, burnt reds, and punchy lilacs. Aumas notes that this unique characteristic creates the feeling of living in a small garden, a rarity in Paris. Addressing a lack of natural light, Aumas incorporated a skylight in the living room and installed floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto the garden. This intentional design choice aimed to blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a "little jungle" atmosphere where greenery seamlessly extends indoors from the purposefully overgrown outdoor area and an extensive houseplant collection. The interior design subsequently evolved organically, leveraging Aumas’s expertise in creating memorable visual experiences, a skill honed through his work on window displays and set designs for prominent brands like Cartier and Louis Vuitton. For instance, after designing a cobalt-tinted mirror for the fireplace, he extended this hue by painting a vertical block of French blue from the mantel to the ceiling. The kitchen reflects a fusion of Brutalism and Mediterranean influences, inspired by Aumas's trips to Procida, Italy, and his upbringing near Aix-en-Provence. Concrete countertops, reminiscent of London's Barbican building, are juxtaposed with a lavender wall color, evoking Mediterranean summers. To further enhance this contrast, wood salvaged from the renovation was repurposed into kitchen cabinets, left raw and treated only with a matte varnish to highlight its texture. The bathroom maintains this coastal European aesthetic with terracotta tiles from Siracusa, Sicily, laid in graphic stripes. Aumas created a distinct "shower capsule" by painting the upper half of the shower wall in a dusty pink and replacing a traditional glass door with a decorative, cinder block-esque partition. Despite the apartment's vibrant use of color, Aumas considers it minimalist compared to his previous loft, which was entirely painted in bright hues. His current approach focuses on using "just a touch of color in each room." Examples include a cobalt archway and radiator in the library complementing a Moroccan rug, and a sky-blue built-in bookcase in the bedroom against white walls. The dining room, notably, is an exception to the geometric paint treatments. With its high ceilings and plaster moldings, it is bathed in a pale, almost white blue, creating a serene and expansive feel, with only a crimson Moroccan rug anchoring the dining table. The apartment is also deeply personalized through furnishings and art collected from around the world, such as Carlo Scarpa chairs, vintage 1950s ceramics, and a painting by Lara Feldman. Aumas particularly cherishes his Vincenzo de Cotiis sofa, from which he can survey nearly his entire home, underscoring the cohesive and curated nature of his living space. #HomeTour #ParisApartment #InteriorDesign #CreativeDirector #Renovation #ColorPalette #SustainableDesign #BrutalistInfluence #MediterraneanVibe

Designer Rebecca Philipson undertook a significant remodel of a 1990s-built, 5,300-square-foot home in Aurora, Ohio, focusing on transforming the kitchen, great room, and lounge into more open and inviting spaces. The homeowners sought to infuse warmth and an open concept into their residence, a vision Philipson brought to life through a blend of traditional and rustic elements, with distinct French Country influences. Central to the design is the incorporation of Amish hand-hewn ceiling beams and elaborate stonework, which serve as prominent features, particularly in the lounge. This area, designed for relaxation and entertaining, includes a wet bar, a built-in refrigerator, and custom alder cabinetry. The adjacent sunroom houses a pool table, creating a seamless flow for social gatherings and post-dinner interactions. The overall layout was reimagined to foster a sense of togetherness, allowing family and guests to interact comfortably across the connected rooms. Philipson achieved this open concept by strategically removing the wall between the great room and kitchen, then linking the kitchen to the lounge. Archways were introduced to formalize these open transitions. The kitchen underwent the most substantial transformation. Previously walled off, it featured an angled peninsula, an irregularly shaped island, and low-hanging soffits. Philipson replaced these with faux beams to maintain the rustic aesthetic and installed a central island with seating for three. The homeowners' desire for warmth and intricate details was met through design elements such as decorative island legs. Attention to detail extends throughout the kitchen, with intricate touches found in the baseboards, legs, valances, and along the bottom of the island cabinetry. The refrigerator was artfully concealed with cabinet panels and mirrored glass, designed to resemble an armoire rather than an appliance, fulfilling the client's wish for cabinetry that emulated furniture. A built-in coffee maker contributed to a decluttered countertop space. The great room further showcases the sophisticated stonework, with cream-colored stone extending from floor to ceiling around the fireplace. This central feature is flanked by built-in cabinets that mirror the design of the kitchen's concealed refrigerator. Oversized iron hardware on the cabinetry adds a dramatic flair, complementing the multi-tiered iron chandelier, which serves as a focal point. Recessed lighting supplements the chandelier, with all lighting choices made to enhance the room's warm ambiance. The remodel successfully integrated rustic charm with French Country elegance, creating a cohesive and welcoming environment across the main living areas. #HomeRemodel #AuroraHome #FrenchCountryStyle #RusticDesign #KitchenRenovation #GreatRoomDesign #LoungeArea #InteriorDesign #OpenConcept

This article explores the core principles of French interior design, aiming to demystify the 'effortlessly chic' aesthetic often associated with French homes. It presents seven key rules, gathered from French interior design experts, to guide individuals in cultivating a stylish and authentic living space. The first rule emphasizes respecting the history of a building, particularly relevant in cities like Paris with rich architectural heritage. Designers suggest integrating the existing character and elegance of older structures with modern luxury, often by preserving original features and opting for subtle lighting solutions rather than disruptive additions like recessed lights. The second principle advocates for 'anti-decor,' encouraging an eclectic and less arranged approach to furnishing. This involves creating unexpected juxtapositions with diverse items, making the space appear as if it evolved organically from the owner's personal taste rather than being professionally curated. This philosophy aligns with the idea of a lived-in and natural environment. The third rule draws a parallel between French interior design and French fashion, highlighting a 'laissez-faire' attitude. The advice is to avoid overly perfect or curated spaces and instead embrace simplicity, blending vintage pieces with new acquisitions. The emphasis is on allowing personal memories, travel treasures, and cherished items to organically shape the decor, fostering a sense of authenticity and personal connection to the home. Sustainability is a key theme in the fourth rule, which promotes reusing and recycling items. The practice of 'chiner,' or searching for unique pieces in second-hand shops, is central to this. This approach not only supports ecological practices but also contributes to creating a unique and character-filled interior by giving new life to old elements of decoration. The fifth rule encourages a departure from strictly neutral color palettes. While acknowledging the appeal of all-white interiors, the article points out that color is frequently used in French design to harmoniously bridge different eras and styles. By employing strong, complementary colors, designers can unify diverse objects and furniture from various time periods, creating a cohesive yet vibrant aesthetic. The sixth rule focuses on considering the French lifestyle, where interior design is deeply intertwined with daily living. French interiors are designed for comfort and functionality, featuring inviting nooks for relaxation and clever storage solutions to streamline everyday life. The core idea is that the space should reflect the client's personality and life, prioritizing functionality and a curated selection of beautiful vintage or handcrafted objects over an abundance of items. Finally, the seventh rule advises against rigidly following trends. Drawing on the French adage, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" (the more things change, the more they stay the same), the article suggests that enduring fundamentals are more important than fleeting fads. This approach encourages homeowners to continuously improve their spaces while honoring the contributions of previous generations, maintaining the spirit and integrity of the home over time. This creates a timeless design that withstands the test of time and passing trends. #FrenchInteriorDesign #ChicLifestyle #HomeDecor #EclecticDesign #SustainableDesign #VintageDecor #ColorPalette #LifestyleIntegration #TimelessDesign

The French Room at the Adolphus Hotel in Downtown Dallas has undergone a significant 16-month renovation, transforming its aesthetic from pastel cherubs and red velvet to brilliant white and expensive gold. This extensive facelift encompassed the restaurant’s three primary areas: the salon, the bar, and the dining room, each now boasting a contemporary and ornate appearance. Historically, The French Room maintained an elegant but somewhat dated charm, characterized by faded colors and pleated window curtains. The renovation aimed to bridge the gap between its traditional elegance and modern appeal, seeking to attract a broader clientele while retaining its prestigious identity. This required a substantial effort from the renovation team to update the decor without entirely discarding its foundational character. In the salon, the space largely retains its original architectural essence, featuring extensive carved dark wood trim and molding. The room is adorned with various artworks, and a single chandelier casts a soft, iridescent glow. Modular seating arrangements provide flexibility for accommodating different party sizes, ensuring comfort and adaptability. The bar area has also been updated, adopting a much dimmer lighting scheme that evokes the ambiance of a high-end speakeasy. It is distinguished by deep blue walls, classical paintings, and a brass ceiling. Silver trays filled with cocktail elixirs are meticulously arranged on a dark stone bar top, enhancing the sophisticated and intimate atmosphere. The dining room, often considered the heart of The French Room, maintains its original architectural framework but features extensive interior design changes. The former crushed red velvet chairs have been replaced with elegant Bergere dining chairs upholstered in pristine white fabric. Thick pleated tablecloths are set with pure white china plates, accompanied by a single glass and a gold candleholder. The previous artwork and wall coverings have been substituted with clean white and gilded flourishes. The heavily ornate molding and trim are now coated in semi-reflective gold paint, featuring classic French-style framing. Additionally, a few booth seats have been incorporated to offer guests more private dining options. Chef Michael Ehlert presides over the culinary offerings, presenting a refined take on French cuisine with dishes that blend traditional flavors with modern plating techniques. The menu, which is seasonal, includes items such as snails with pommes dauphine and watercress, seared foie gras, and consommé chartreuse. To conclude the dining experience, guests can select from The French Room’s traveling dessert cart, providing a sweet finish to their meal in this renowned Dallas establishment. #FrenchRoom #RestaurantRenovation #DallasDining #AdolphusHotel #LuxuryInteriors #FineDining #InteriorDesign #HotelRenovation #DallasRestaurants

The second featured property is the Mallorca Villa in the Balearic Islands, Spain, designed by architects John Pawson and Claudio Silvestrin.

The third home is The Flea Market Apartment in Tel Aviv, Israel, designed by Limor Yossifon Goldman. Situated in a location that might typically suggest chaos, the architect chose to create an interior that is airy, clean, warm, and personal.
