STORAGE : PRACTICAL MAGIC
Having designed more interiors than she can count, Jane Howell has learnt that storage space is everything. Quite simply, it can change the way a home feels. “Well-planned spaces feel welcoming. They comfort and inspire.”
“Cabinetry needs to be designed for practicality and ease, while having a balanced and graceful aesthetic”
ROOM RESCUE : PERFECT BLEND
Caught between a 1940s facade and a modern extension, this living room strikes a balance between old and new.
“Work with what you’ve got. For this room, I used the client’s original furniture. It worked well because it’s a more traditional space than the rest of the house.”
SENSE OF ZEN
When designing bathrooms, I strive to create a look that is simplistic, minimalistic and timeless, says interior designer Jane Howell from Howell Interiors, who designed this oasis of calm (below). A motorised sliding window connects the serene splash zone with the neighbouring Japanese garden - and a pared-back palette with simple finishes wouldn't date compete for your attention.
{STYLE TO STEAL} The Moooi 'Random' suspension lamp from Space Furniture is a beautiful feature without making a loud statement, and Italian porcelain tiles in a terrazzo beige from De Fazio Tiles & Stone are a grounding choice.
