Light & Shadow House

Bonnie Mills Architecture and Interiors

Nestled inside a mid-century apartment block, our home was given a sensitive renovation to uncover and celebrate its original features. Walnut timbers, brushed nickel, small square tiles, and terrazzo stone were some of the finishes that were chosen to exemplify this. I chose to furnish the apartment with a combination of modern and vintage mid-century furniture, to showcase the modernisation of the classic craftsmanship of true mid-century furniture. We wanted to achieve a timeless finish which meant to us that the finishes needed to not only link back to the context of the existing home but also to stand the test of time for now and into the future. Venato Forte, a natural stone product from Signorino, was selected for it’s visual similarity to the shadows & light that danced across the kitchen in the afternoon. Linking the finishes to their context would allow the project to achieve cohesion and harmony. The kitchen needed to be optimal in terms of storage and practicality, whist also allowing observation and interaction with family members within the other common living areas. Uncovering the old kitchen room meant that building permits and significant construction would be required, however the reconnection with the whole family made it truly worthwhile. The selection of subtle grey tones ranging in contrast were chosen as a reflection of the light and shadow at play in this area of the home, while the walnut timber and brushed nickel were selected as a nod to the mid-century origins of the apartment. While the kitchen space was built reconnect the family, the bathroom was intended for the opposite, to provide a space for solitary bliss. The skylight allowed for stargazing at night, while the full height finishes were intended to envelop and hold the space. The bathtub would become a place for restoration and rest, its muted palette intended to harmonise and open up the space. Our Brighton East project exemplifies our ethos: transforming the everyday routine into moments of calm, serenity, and mindfulness.

From Princess pink to this cool tone, teenage vibe. This new trundle day bed is super versatile and allows for a sleepover guest and sofa type day hung out without compromising on the comfort of the restful sleep. We've added a moody wall lighting that is especially attractive at night. Inspiring wall art adds a nice a focal point to the room and sets the color scheme.

House of Many Colors

Ann Lowengart Interiors

Located in San Rafael's sunny Dominican neighborhood, this East Coast-style brown shingle needed an infusion of color and pattern for a young family. Against the white walls in the combined entry and living room, we mixed mid-century silhouettes with bold blue, orange, lemon, and magenta shades. The living area segues to the dining room, which features an abstract graphic patterned wall covering. Across the way, a bright open kitchen allows for ample food prep and dining space. Outside we painted the poolhouse ombre teal. On the interior, we echoed the same fun colors of the home.

Midcentury Grey Kids' Room Design Ideas

Kids bedrooms are children’s sanctuaries; somewhere they can escape to and daydream in. Hard-working rooms, they can also do double duty as playrooms, reading spots and studies. The best midcentury kids bedroom designs are fun, practical and ignite the imagination. Kids bedroom themes are endless, but the trick to a smart bedroom design is choosing one that will go the distance, using kids furniture and decor that will grow with your children. Whether you’re planning a midcentury kids bedroom or playroom, use the photos on Houzz for renovations and bedroom ideas, from kids furniture to toy storage and kids decor; then, strike up a conversation with the interior designers of your favourite picks.

How do I decorate a kids bedroom?

The best experts in midcentury kids bedroom decor are kids themselves, so, if you can, involve them in the design process. Use your little one’s favourite colour on the walls and add one or two other accent colours through bedding and soft furnishings. Kids rugs are a great way to update a kids bedroom and will protect your floors from crayon and text marks, too. Stick to neutral, durable and stain-resistant furnishings that can grow with your child as their tastes change, and opt for a full-size chest of drawers and shelving so they won’t need to be traded in after a few years. A trunk at the end of the bed makes ideal storage storage, too. Bunk beds are a popular choice for kids bedrooms, especially when siblings are sharing. Bunk beds will save your sanity during a sleepover, too – no makeshift beds in the living room. When your child is a teen, you simply replace the bottom bunk with a desk to create an area for study. Girls bedroom ideas are aplenty and the princess theme runs strong, but a girly bedroom doesn’t have to rely on lashings of pink, either. Consider using polka dot wall decals or dressing the bed in a sheer canopy to soften the scheme. Looking for boys bedroom ideas that don’t involve car beds and sporting memorabilia? Liven up the walls by painting on racing stripes or keep it simple with a blue and white striped wallpaper.

How do I decorate a teen’s room?

Teenagers spend a lot of time in their bedrooms studying, entertaining friends and escaping from the world, so it can be difficult coming up with midcentury teenager bedroom ideas that tick all the right boxes. A teens bedroom design should be expressive of one’s personality, and take into account hobbies and favourite colours. Creating a wallpaper feature is an easy way to illustrate your teen’s style or interests. Include bedroom seating for when friends are around, such as bean bags, a sofa or daybed, and make room for a study area, so they can do their homework in peace.

How do I decorate a playroom?

A midcentury kids playroom should be vivid and inspirational, so get creative with colour and fun kids furniture. Encourage play with a puppet theatre tent, craft station or teepee, and if you want to splurge, unique features like a climbing wall, slide or swing. Let your kids create their own masterpiece with wall decals or a chalkboard wall, and include floor cushions and beanbags for lazing about. Finally, don’t forget much-needed toy storage – built-in cabinets and shelves, as well as multifunctional toy boxes that can be used as desks when closed.
