“Cream, off-white and funky.”
The Contemporist posted this house in Kensington by British Architects and Designers SHH.
Remember yesterday when I said that most architecture and design firms didnt put out stuff I liked? Well, this is a perfect example.
These were their instructions: “The client’s brief was simple. The house had to suit the needs of an international couple with a large family. As for the look? ‘Cream, off-white and funky’.”
Not since Gwyneth’s apartment have a hated an all white space this much. It takes a lot of work to make so much money look so cheap.
I hate everything about it. But I would take that pool in a heartbeat.
What do you think?

soooooooper hate!!
those chandeliers inside glass drum shades makes me murdery.
blech.
It’s so cold looking at that, I want to put on a coat. Also, top photo : square area rug, round area rug, square area rug. What the heck. If you wanted the look and feel of wall-to-wall just bite the bullet and get it. Those rugs looks ridiculous. The lighting fixtures in the dining room look like something from a mall’s holiday decoration. It’s frustrating to see this kind of money used for things like this.
Totally agree! Really difficult to pull off an all white interior. The problem is that it is not really white but very 70′s off white almost cream.
Very tiring to try to understand the vision
Exhausting looking at one more light fixture with a clear drum!
Great posts as usual!
Best!

I do love that bed, just to add a positive note.
The living and dinnig rooms are horrible- wats with all the chandeliers and multiple light fixtures? also i think the furniture looks like cheap rentals
I’m a big fan of white. Huge. I think the bedroom looks so calm and peaceful. The dining room on the other hand…I could do without.
