Chandeliers, dining stools, copper pots and wooden curio table in the dining room of Bruce & Chyka’s gorgeous penthouse in Melbourne, Australia. They
combined two apartments and completely customized the interiors in their own unique style, reimagining the floorplan (less bedrooms, more space to entertain) and adding plenty of bold color, treasured artwork and personal touches.
Anu and Jani‘s Finnish home is beautifully remodeled and filled with their artistic projects, and old & new finds. The kitchen is so pretty, I love the backs of the chairs.
Beautifully decorated 17th century building was in a state of total abandonment when the owner found it.
The place was the settlement of Hieronymite monks in XVII.
There are no two identical seats in the living area, in which an Elizabethan and a French armchair stand out in the background to make a dramatic and colorful setting.
The living area is bright and warm.
In the space formerly occupied by the barns, the living room was located, with a set of arches that make it optically independent. Behind the sofa, a rustic Spanish table and an 18th century church armchair create an office area.
A mat extends the perspective to the end of the corridor, in which a precious armoire from the 16th century stands out.
A mix of exquisite pieces raises the decorative level with a refined simplicity,
Kitchen in green and white framed by beautiful tiles from the 19th century
accentuate a bright rustic aesthetic.
In the dining room, French and Argentine fabrics warmly dress the table & floor.
The wicker armchairs are handmade; the lamp, Moroccan; and the ceramic tableware is vintage.
The niche that houses the washbasin is lined with an exuberant mosaic of Valencian and Moroccan tiles. A Japanese print, an Indian mirror and a Philippine pith chair complete the scene.
To highlight the height of the gabled ceiling, the beams in the master bedroom were painted green.
There is a profusion of textiles that enrich the environment: The draped headboard, the antique toile de Jouy trunk, & the Moroccan carpet.
A classic strip curtain divides the bathroom into two zones.
Red stars in the guest room, with two Chinese lacquer beds, nineteenth-century Goya drawings and French chairs.
When demolishing the partitions that made up the gallery that adjoins the lower courtyard, it made a natural cave, and some marble and stone columns with their arches appeared.
The patio on the ground floor is one of the most beautiful places in the house. White, calm, cool … And a pool.
Dwarf orange trees were planted on the trellis attached to the wall and, next to them, a cypress. The lemon tree was already there. Simple iron furniture decorates the space.
I hate to call them mash-ups, but there’s no doubt that mixed decor is the most interesting and unique. Look at this colorful, skillfully decorated home in Mexico. This living room has a lovely gray and pink color palette, but some of the furniture is modern, there’s an industrial metal cabinet, and a painted vintage armoire in pink.
Tied into the living room is a mid century table and chairs in pink & white. A large old watercolor is propped up on a sideboard- it’s yellowed, torn, warped, and a corner of it isn’t even in the frame, but it looks great.
In the sitting room, the wall is actually a work of art and it’s inconsistent. There aren’t white stencils on all of them, and the blue doesn’t always go all the way to the ceiling. Not to mention how haphazardly it’s painted. I love it.
In the home office bright orange mid century accents are among the rich antiques.
This workroom is a vibrant blue with brightly striped material framed in gold over a MCM sideboard.
Here’s a corner bar made out of an antique cabinet surrounded by bright yellow and black & white stripes.
The dinette is amazing. Look at the blue. And, that chest looks like it’s kind of caving in the middle. Whoever decorated this home really thinks out of the box.
The rest of the small kitchen in cobalt tiles and bold stripes.
Beautiful bright blue, casual bedroom.
The classic white bathroom gets a little livelier toward the ceiling. And, look at the whimsical toilet paper holder.
And, look at this outdoor space. The trick is to make it look like it just casually happened, but it’s all very strategically placed. This home’s decor is incredible.
