Eye Candy: Colorful Homes to Banish Winter Blues

Rebecca Evans

In need of a little sunshine? Us too. Explore these candy-colored, brilliantly beautiful homes to brighten up even the dreariest of January days.

The Barmeston Road – London

We Love…

“The plant-filled, coral dining room is particular joy to hang out in with its large teak dining table perfect for decadent dining and huge glass doors that flood in light and garden views. We also love the kitchen with its floor to ceiling metallic tiles, contrasting with concrete and brass worktops, Moroccan tiled floors and olive green, shaker-style cabinetry.”

The Turtle Road Residence – Palm Springs

We Love…

“Each space can transform from sunny day time pastels to cosmic night time tones at the flick of a button, mirroring the landscapes and ever-changing skies surrounding the property. The show continues outside with the stunning desert scenery and the yard has been thoughtfully crafted to make the most of it.”

The Wrentham Avenue Residence – London

We Love…

“This unique and colorful home has been lovingly filled with contemporary and vintage pieces and has plenty to admire. Owned by a costume designer and stylist, it has rare and interesting old and new pieces from around the world. Brightly-colored walls, a bright blue piano and patterned throw pillows add to the riot of fun and color.” 

The Crib Residence – Iceland

We Love…

“This mid century modern home has been featured in Korea’s In Style Magazine, in the ‘Tales From Iceland’ exhibition in Reykjavik and in documentaries about Iceland. Every room is adorned with large artworks and the living room has panoramic views of Hafnarfjall, Eriksjökull and Langjökull glaciers.”

The Centro Merida Residence – Mexico

We Love…

“The house dates from the 1800s with colourful original tiled floors imported from France that adorn many of the rooms. Antique pieces mix with contemporary furniture and pastel walls contrast with a bright pops of color.”

The Honor Oak Residence – London

We Love…

“The hosts have recently renovated and opted for mid-century and designer furniture throughout, with plenty of color, pattern and fun! We love the sophisticated wall paneling in the bedrooms, the unique bathroom tiling (check out that terrazzo) and the elegant parquet flooring in the kitchen.”

The Helmersstraat Residence – Amsterdam

We Love…

“This fabulous Dutch home was fully remodeled in partnership with a TV company and has been featured in a Dutch interior magazine. Children’s bedrooms contain treats like hidden sleeping platforms and pops of color; family living spaces are warm and comfortable with cozy furnishings. We love the inspired design, the great location and the mid-century modern living room.”
