The Gastón y Daniela (gastonydaniela.com) Ikat Azul wallpaper is the star of the guest bathroom and is beautifully complemented by a glamorous round mirror from Habitat (habitat.co.uk), black and white artworks by Cape Town artist Kurt Pio (kurtpio. co.za), and crystal vases found at a brocante market in France.
Jamie’s bed is situated directly beneath one of the skylights, which means that in summer, when the skylight can be left open, he “feels like he is outdoors and under the stars.” Kim says, “Jamie has definitely got a designer’s eye and gets quite involved. We also needed to make the space practical, so he has a double desk set up–one for online gaming and one for homework. His bed sits in front of the chimney breast, which meets the angle of the ceiling at the top, so I designed a custom headboard [to fit the space].” The light is the Game Wall Lamp from House Doctor (housedoctor.com), and the skateboard is from Palace (palaceskateboards.com). The green figure is a Bearbrick (bearbrick.com) of Leonardo from the Ninja Turtles, which is hugely oversized and hence quite rare and collectible.
Last but very much not least in terms of the extravaganza of pattern and color in her home is the guest bathroom, with its blue ikat wallpaper and large brass-framed mirror. Kim says that from a decorative point of view, this is “the place to go a little mad in–you are in there for such a short time, and it’s such a great opportunity to give someone an ‘experience.’ I want them to come out with a sense of wonder!” Which is probably a very good way to describe the effect of a visit to this effortlessly chic
