Orla Kiely in Dwell Magazine

Textile designer, Orla Kiely's London homes have appeared on this blog several times, however I enjoy seeing different views of the same house in different publications - as they always capture something new. This time, Kiely's home makes an appearance in the latest Dwell magazine.

Nice TV installation to the left (and I would like the jug painting on the mantlepiece).

The lady herself, Orla Kiely.

Orla Kiely at Home 2013

Orla Kiely in the dining room - that is green marmoleum flooring which continues into the kitchen.

Olive, the labradoodle fits in beautifully.

In 2011, I posted this story about successful Irish designer, Orla Kiely and her London home. If you have a look, you will see that her interior colours then were strong, muted and cosy.
I met a new client last week who mentioned how she likes the colours of her Orla Kiely tins so I thought I would update myself and came across this recent article about Kiely's home. I think it is the same house or is very similar with the same fireplaces and character details. This time the interiors are fresher and lighter with shots of the olive, brown, orange, gold and creams that Kiely is so well known for. Read more about her home and her interior products here.

The Home of Orla Kiely

It is always interesting to see homes of designers, especially a successful one like Orla Kiely, and how they translate their design style from their work to their home.
Kiely has transformed this three storey Victorian house in Clapham, London, into a home for her family by using great colours like olive, ochre and grey on the walls and shots of vibrant colours with furniture and objects. I like the pared down Scandinvian feel of the home along with the nostalgic touches of Kiely's textiles.
