Inside Design #3: Belsize House

Welcome to a new Inside Design! My new monthly column where we take a sneak peek of the interior design and architecture of houses and apartments, in the make or finished and for sale.

I have seen this house a few weeks ago but I knew immediately that I would use this for Inside Design. This interior is special cause of the mix modern/classic. You see this back into the floor (in Dutch we call this a "visgraat" aka fishbone) and the chimney(s). I love the authentic walls and ceiling. And I always wanted a house with a bay window. When we look at the (open)kitchen we see an Italian well defined way of cooking. What also noticed me was a half round oak door in the living room (never seen that before!) And last but not least, the huge colourful couch and the hairy pink chair (I tought it was made by a Dutch designer, but I'm not sure). Especially the couch is so cool in my opinion! You don't need a bed anymore!

This beautiful spacious and very light apartment is for sale in NW Leafy London. So call up your real estate agent and make an appointment to visit this place!

AOTM #2: French Flat

Hello!

Get ready for a new Apartment Of The Month! This time we're in NW London. I'll show you a charming and cosy house. The bedroom has a cool detail (a sort of hole in the wall) and the rest of the house is very well finished. I also like the colours, it's daring to use black that much. But it's not making all the rooms darker, indeed, it gives an edgy alluring feeling. I love it, I want to buy it, I want to live in it! What about you? Don't tell me I'm the only one with those feelings! ;-)

Friendly Fires

Hi there!

Having a fireplace in your home gives your interior a boost! Well, if you like it ofcourse. If you don't, then this article won't be interesting for you. Today I'm gonna show you in what kind of interiors fireplaces have been used. When I moved to my new house we all wanted to have a fireplace, but we didn't have enough space for it, unfortunately! Here in Holland we have very modern ones. But a big chimney is also very cool! When I see American programs as Extreme Home Makeover and Cribs it always noticed me how many American families have a chimney. So I think fireplaces are popular all over the world. Which one of these photos do you like? Are you going for contemporary or rustic?
