Sometimes seeing how others arrange items sets off something new in my thinking about my own.

So much to like about this: the tile above the fireplace, the red Womb chair, all the different woods, the spiral staircase, the built-in next to the fireplace.
Succulents in rustic glazed pots (and as a vertical garden) and an orange corrugated-steel wall. Perfect.

Wow. If ever there was a space that is hard to capture in just a few words, this is it. Modern, yes — just look at the furnishings. But there’s also that feeling of calm, open spaciousness that I associate with minimalism. Then there’s an almost luxurious sense of shabbiness from the fabrics. And the whole structure appears to be some old, abandoned industrial site. Yet, in some way that I can only assume is due to the rigorous application of magic, it all works together beautifully.

This is my kind of space and totally makes me smile because the elements speak directly to me. The mixture of modern pieces in an historical setting, the use of deep color on the walls, the rich wood textures of the floor and paneling, the large scale art (reminiscent of childhood for me, weirdly), the sideboard, the Tulip table, the upholstered chairs…. Ahhhhhhhh!

I’ve read complaints that masculine design relies too much on neutrals; as you know, I’m an advocate of color and a believer that — in the right hands — neutrals aren’t always neutral. So I was very happy to read Abigail Ahern’s recent posts about decorating with browns.
This London home has amazing architecture, incredible elements, and dynamite finishes. What’s not to fall in love with?
