At home with Joanna Plant in her comfortable, timeless interiors | Design Notes

  • When interior designer Joanna Plant and her husband Nick first saw their 1920s house in west London it was, by all accounts, something of an ugly duckling, yet they saw potential in it. “It’s evolved a lot,” she explains, “but it’s been very, very slow, and there was never a plan. I think for that reason, it doesn’t feel decorated, which I find I like at home. I don’t really want to live in an overly coordinated, thought-through home.” Asked to summarise the values that she aims for in her professional work, Joanna promptly names comfort, timelessness and “a touch of glamour”, and all three can be seen in the house.

    Ebaying an entire room's worth of discontinued wallpaper. Respect.

      Much wit in that description. But, agree, quite a task. And that she carried a piece in her purse looking for fabric for curtains. Joanna is determined. The results are sensational.

    there was really not a thing i disliked about this video. but what caught my heart was her library consisting of books from her entire life thusfar. i found that really touching. the home looks extremely inviting and cozy. as much as i've had nightmares about wallpaper in the past, for some odd reason the concept of it is appealing again. who wouldn't want to be surrounded by flowers? really lovely home and garden.

      Laura Ashley is not wallpaper...it's a way of turning a room into a personal boudoir

      I particularly liked the bold ref horizontal stripe in the bedroom, perfectly teams with the florals and gives a strong balance to the room.

    This was by far one of my favorite H & G pieces, I love that her space is utilitarian and lived in as opposed to being bound by tradition and rules. I just love this house and she seems like a really cool and interesting person. Super inspiring.

    All of your books from your life touched my soul. As a child growing up in a small house my Mom would get rid of my books after I read them and I bought many old favorites on Ebay as an adult. When we were retiring to a smaller house recently and were selling off lots of things I told my husband I really should get rid of a lot of books but now I will have more time to read. He said you don't need to get rid of your books honey...and my heart grew two sizes.

    The Laura Ashley aerie suite is breathtaking. You don’t enter the room, you enter an entire enchanted canvas, perfect down to every corner, happy and playful and personal. There is something of the child-to-woman vibe, an expression of utter prettiness and freshness. The patterns are serious art, not childish. The sad serious adult world relentlessly summons, but not here, not just yet. The slanted ceilings are handled brilliantly right down to the gold cord holding the floor=to-ceiling drapes against the wall. I found this video endlessly inspiring. Tremendous industry creating rooms to embrace visitors and guests. Well done.

    I so enjoyed this video. Everything about this house and garden I loved. The sisal rug in the library and up the stairs, the bookcases, artwork and kitchen with the stainless steel countertops. Quite honestly If I had the opportunity to replicate this look, then I would. The music was great. Eileen, from Stuart , Florida, USA

  • @OddWeird461
    @OddWeird461 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    What an incredible home. It's always interesting to see how people like her live, but oftentimes the homes look overly done or too stuffy and show home-ish.
    This place is super inviting and cozy. I love how she mentioned that the couch is covered in this extremely expensive fabric that they use to lounge in and let the dogs climb on. I love the utilitarian kitchen countertop, the art. That library is just stunning. I wish I could have kept all the books I've owned with me as I moved around, but I'd be swimming in them by now lol.
    At first I thought that wall paper was too much in the bedroom, but as she talked about it I came to love it as well. Her philosophy of how she makes her home beautiful but cozy and useful is the best. Beautifully filmed as well.

      Interesting, because that was the ONLY thing I didn't like. Not that it wasn't beautiful but her whole video she talked about function and use and here she has only one light in a room where you read and she said it didn't work well.

    Yes! You can marry practicality, comfort, style and beauty. A house is for living and shouldn’t be precious. My MIL used to call it house proud, so worried about how it looked, that people forget to actually live in it. I love this house, just wonderful.

    Lovely home and easy to live in. That’s my cup of tea. I really don’t like walking around without my shoes on so being able to walk through the house and kick up your feet on the coffee table is perfect. One thing not mention that I feel is another layering and an extension to the house is the garden. Particularly the trees that surround the garden like A blanket. That’s screening envelops privacy and coziness. I can imagine some type of garden lighting and circling this private place. I can’t think of anything more relaxing than that. Great video

The pretty over grown garden is great too. I loved her quote that it’s a robust house you can wear your shoes. X
