Studio Mae Interiors
Studio Mae Interiors have been Shortlisted for Interior Design Scheme – London Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.
A striking white stucco mansion in Notting Hill has been transformed from two derelict apartments into a light, bright two-storey home with wellness at the core.
The client’s dream was to create a light, bright Parisian Deco style interior. The original floorplan was dark and pokey and so Studio Mae Interiors worked to reconfigure the entire flow of the space. This meant taking it from three bedrooms to two, to create more space in the rest of the property. With only 1350 square feet, it was essential that every single inch was designed intelligently to maximise space and storage. The client, as well as the Directors of Studio Mae Interiors, are all Australian and, as Australians, it was essential to flood the property with light for wellness at home.
Sadly, there wasn’t an original feature left in this beautiful period property. Just the bones of the building remained so Studio Mae Interiors gutted the entire place taking it all the way back to the brick walls underneath. Aesthetically, it was imperative that the design found a balance between blending the elegance of the traditional with the boldness of the modern.
Under the stairs, behind the handle-less wall panels are the utilities, luggage, cloak and storage areas. Everything is perfectly stowed away and easily accessible, allowing the clients to be clutter-free, organised and minimalist. This has such a positive effect on their general wellness and feeling of calm at home.
Studio Mae Interiors were initially very concerned about the darkness within this property, but the combination of open plan living, clever reflective pigments throughout the interior scheme, natural sunlight in the day and soft lighting in the evening has transformed the space from what it was. Sourcing sustainable, ethical materials was also extremely important to the designers, and a signature style of Studio Mae Interiors.
The interior scheme has achieved a perfect balance between beautiful, period detailing, modern furnishings and minimalist, clean lines. As a result, the home feels incredibly calm and cocooning, creating the perfect sanctuary for the clients.
