Interior Design: Amazing London House & Garden by Studio MacLean

Be inspired by this amazing London house & garden studio! British interiors firm Studio MacLean designed the renovation of this West London property – which measures 371 square metres – and its garden studio for a family who wanted to update the interiors with timeless finishes. Studio MacLean used monochrome paintwork, oak chevron flooring, cherry wood and marble finishes to overhaul this London house. Love many aspects of this house, like the monochrome palette in white and black, the oak parquet, the kitchen with wood and marble, the black custom-made steel doors as well as black painted radiator and staircase. And last but least the beautiful lighting design.

Beautiful Topkapi wallpaper by Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Schumacher

I guess you've noticed already that I am a huge fan of the designs from interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Today I found this fantastic, refined floral wallpaper in blue called 'Topkapi' from his collection for Schumacher. Derived from the panels of tile that lined the royal suites of the Ottoman sultans in Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, Iznik patterns combine the traditional Ottoman patterns with Oriental elements to create a visual masterpiece that transcends cultures and eras. I wrote MORE BLOGS about this interesting interior designer. Be Inspired .......

More about Norman Parkinson

Norman Parkinson was one of the twentieth century’s best-known fashion photographers. He was active for over 50 years and was instrumental in taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into his images. His impulsive and unstructured style changed forever the static, posed approach to fashion photography, while his enchanting, idiosyncratic persona charmed his sitters and projected an alluring and glamorous public image. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches tall, Parkinson was unable to remain unobtrusive behind the lens and instead created ‘Parks’, the moustachioed, ostentatiously elegant fashion photographer – as much a personality as those who sat for him, and frequently more flamboyant. His flawless professionalism, manners and well-rehearsed eccentricities reassured the uneasy sitter and disarmed the experienced. His photographs of celebrities, artists, the British Royal Family, as well as leading figures from the worlds of film, theatre, politics and music are known throughout the world and have become icons of twentieth century style.
