What could be the home of a person who transformsordinary furniture into a work of art? Of course, bright and extraordinary! You will hardly find a single centimeter of space in this house that is left without color and decor. This unusual house is located in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico, Guanajuato). The owner is Anado McLauchlin, a creative and extraordinary person. His profession is the creation of unique furniture, decorative items, accessories; his passion is bright colors. Anado McLauchlin, the owner of the house: - Everyone who comes to me should forget the word "address". You can tell taxi drivers: "colorful house" - this way many of them will understand where to go.
Anado McLoughlin purchased this house in the distantIn 2001, it’s hard to believe, but back then it was a very ordinary building, without any decor, half-collapsed and located far from other houses. The house cost the owner $100,000, with another $30,000 for renovations. To begin with, everything was whitewashed to create a clean canvas. Then experiments with color began. Anado McLoughlin, the owner of the house: - There were mistakes, and when they happened, I just tried another color. Mistakes are actually the best thing! You make them, and then you get crazy creative to fix everything!
Living room
The interior of this house is a real explosioncolors, and the living room is certainly no exception. Purple and red walls, light green and turquoise ceiling. The design includes yellow, orange, light brown, gold... It's easier to list the colors that are not here - Anado McLoughlin's living room is replete with a variety of shades and patterns (pillows, sofa and armchair upholstery, mosaic). Anado McLoughlin, owner of the house: - The motto of my house is "no rules"! As soon as you start adhering to any rules, you are limited to one palette. But if you use all the colors at once, then there are no restrictions, no editor. It is very liberating.
Kitchen
The predominant color of the kitchen isorange-terracotta. And although its design cannot be called boring even with a huge stretch, however, in comparison with the chaos of color in the living room, the atmosphere of the kitchen seems much calmer. Editorial opinion: - Just one photo - and several techniques that can be borrowed from Anado McLoughlin: 1. The combination of colorful tiles and bright wall colors. 2. Many accessories and decorative items united by one color scheme. 3. Colored ceiling. 4. The refrigerator as an element of high-tech style, "cooling" the hot color palette.
Bedroom
Another bright and cozy room is the bedroom.The highlight is the domed brick ceiling, it gives the room an additional intimacy. Lots of textiles: carpets, bed linen, curtains on the windows. Everything with patterns, colorful, like in the rest of the house. Editorial opinion: - In Anado McLoughlin's bedroom, we noticed several more unusual techniques that can be successfully used in an ordinary Russian city apartment or in a country house. We are in a hurry to share our findings: 1. Different carpets (not only in color scheme and pattern, but also in texture). 2. Different windows (in shape, size, even in level). 3. Pillowcases and duvet covers from different sets of bed linen (close color scheme, combination of floral and geometric prints). 4. Two different bedside lamps. 5. Unusually painted walls - a pattern that visually lowers the ceiling and makes the bedroom more comfortable.
Bathroom
Even the bathroom in this house is filled with bright colors! An unusual sink, figurines, a fresco - Anado McLoughlin managed to make this room extraordinary and in line with his view of the world.
Anado McLoughlin, home owner:— My home is also a showroom. Absolutely everything is for sale here. My pieces cost from $150 to $1,000, and business is going well, I have my own six-figure annual income. Even in my youth, working as a gardener, I began to look for furniture in stores with various unnecessary junk - and painted, decorated it... When there are no rules, you can just do whatever you want! nytimes.com
