A Room Of One’s Own

Recently I discovered a fabulously decorated living room by a designer that goes by the name Owens, while browsing through  HOUSES MAGAZINE, on a chilly spring morning. The house in question was a 1940’s bungalow that the designer thoroughly enhanced by providing a modern open plan.  You can just imagine what a task it was for such an original space. From pages after images, I discovered no real distinction between old and new, public and private.  Spaces were integrated seamlessly and elegant furniture – modern classics – complement every room.

Natural materials were the choice palette, and they were incorporated masterfully.  His decor worked so well, mainly because of their fundamental appreciation for simplicity, and elegance.  Nature provides  us with a rich palette, and coming home to a zen-like space relaxes and soothe the soul.

Álvares Machado The Morgan HotelThe grande dame of modern design, Andrée Putman designed the Morgans Hotel in New York with a very skilful palette devoid of color.  And guess what? Instead of being blah, the overall design is sheer beauty.
Not too long ago, I attended an event there and was taken by the modern interiors. Last year, Ms. Putman gave the hotel a face lift from her original design.  I didn’t think it was possible, but you can indeed improve on perfection. Bravo Andrée.
