Inside Lucinda Chambers' personality-filled London house | Design Notes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2022
- For former Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers, the decoration of her west London house has been a 30-year evolution, choosing and adjusting the elements of each room as she would her clothes - with a sense of colour, character and above all stylish comfort. As fashion icon Diana Vreeland famously wrote, 'the eye has to travel', and in Lucinda's house, there are endless things to peer and marvel at. 'I am a bit of a tart in that I really like anything," she says. "I am as happy with two cheap cushions as I am with an expensive piece of art. I don't care where something comes from, as long as it is life-enhancing."

It's not a house that is filled with things, it's a home that tells a life story. Just exquisite ❤
The best house tours are the ones that show that the house is well-lived, that tell stories of travels, family, friends. It's so warm. It's a home.
"my house looks like me" THAT is the secret to style-- develop your personal style, then let it flow into every aspect of your life. I was so proud when a visitor to my craft fair booth where my daughter and I were selling our artwork said that our booth had a wonderful, welcoming, bookish aura, and had a distinct earthy smell-- that's how I want my home to feel!
That is the sort of craft fair booth I would visit, for sure.
The owner is a maximum maximalist! She is fearless. Just love this home!
I dont get how people want to live in white grey and cold minimalistic home. When so much life and character and warmth can come from a home like this
so what? i can enjoy this beautiful home and still live in a minimalist environment. i can’t live in this house, i cannot maintain it, i don’t have time to clean it, i don’t have the money to accumulate this much stuff, i don’t have as much story as she does to tell of every piece in my house and i shouldnt have to. thats why this is HER house lol. just watch the video and as your username says cheer up!
@@AJ-td5fk You dont have to maintain anything with art or pain on the walls? Also not really that expensive, most of my home is thrifted and most of the art in my home is also thrifted. You can be a minimalist and still have a warm and welcoming home, doesnt need to be FULL of stuff, just doesnt need to be dead and dreary and devoid of life.
@@AJ-td5fk Like for example these two are such sad lifeless and sterile excuses for a home www.idesignarch.com/wp-content/uploads/Classic-Suburban-House-Stone-Exterior-King-City-Ontario_8.jpeg

while these while still simple clean and minimalistic, it was character and life

It's about chaos. This is about visual chaos for many people - it's not soothing. Give me a warm beige, grey and white pallet - earth tones.
@@kermitthefrog3632 Empty walls, no color, no life, no joy, no warmth, no personality it makes me feel panicked and claustrophobic and just dead. Like it isnt natural and feel off to me. Very dystopian and fake to me
Homes that evolve like this one are the best. You can see time, a history, a story. So comfortable and elegant. She’s amazing!
Para tu punto subjetivo de vista . Para mi es puro artificio y superficialidad.
Just so incredibly warm and dreamy, feel like I could spend ages eating and reading there. I have to say though, the ease with which she got on the property ladder made my heart sink lol. Don’t begrudge her good fortune at all, but life will never be that good or affordable again (whether you’re buying or getting council housing) and it’s a damn shame.
I want to be like Lucinda when I grow up. Absolutely in love with her epic style 😍
Lovely, not pretentious, poetic, authentic, whimsical, effortless, vibrant, tender, musical....thank you so much for sharing this delightful hostess and house.
This woman is my soulmate. I need to be visually stimulated by color, fabrics and texture. Jewelry!!
This home is like a cool glass of water on a hot summer's day. It is just filled with soul and story, and I love that. It literally makes me want to weep when I see all these manufactured homes with all the "right" designer things or big box items (so representative of our culture) but anyway, this home speaks to my heart, and to what it means to be human. Thank you for sharing.
I'm swooning over her and her house.
I would love to spend an afternoon with her listening to her stories of her home and life.
What a gorgeous house. I could listen to Lucinda Chambers for hours. Such wonderful style!
This is a dream come true of a home, filled with beautiful eccentric things that make you happy. That's not an easy thing to do.
Love this! So personal, warm and colorful. Even the "slightly off" details are charming, like her lovely kitchen table.
This woman and l are kindred spirits. There is so much joy and so much personality in her home, l feel inspired to just get going with my decor. I always said that wherever my guests would rest their eyes, there would be something to delight them. That is what she has accomplished in her home. SHE SAYS IT SO MUCH BETTER..."THE EYE MUST TRAVEL." I love it.
This home and this woman is an example of freedom at an exquisite level I think we all want to achieve.
How wonderful to live among all the beautiful pictures and colour. As an answer to minimalism this is perfect.
Oh my goodness, I just smiled the whole way through this. Absolutely in love with this space.
Beautiful home.....very much my style and taste, no boring white minimalism!!
I totally agree with you - these white minimalistic homes are neither cozy nor really homes, these are hideously furnished cardboard boxes !!! If I had to live in such a box I think I would get mad within a few days !!!
Glorious! I would never want to leave!
What a beautiful home. Love all the colors and eclectic and maximalists style. Very inspiring. ❤
Vete a un mercadillo y tendras lo mismo
Lucinda is an amazing woman! I just loved this home. The colours and details are incredible. Thank you.
It’s so beautiful and has a true lived in feel. Fantastic! Sometimes the AD tours just seem too unreal, so this is a nice contrast.
I completely agree. This is attainable over time. Not some designer showcase full of trendy items "of the moment" that cost more than a kidney transplant.
I so agree.
Wow so full of life and whimsy!! I’m not a minimalist by any means and I find her house overwhelming. But it works because it’s her story and I love that it’s lived in. Sometimes you see interior design and they all look alike (cookie cutter) but this is fabulous 🌈🌈🌈
Every wall reverberates with story! J'adore!
wow it is a house full of personality!
Lucinda Chambers you will ALWAYS be famous 💙💙💙
Love, love, it’s a house that shows love everywhere ❤️🇬🇧
Such a great home with so many great ideas. I love a colorful lived-in home with stories to tell and things to look at where you feel welcome right away. I highly dislike the beige and white and "everything the same as everyone else's" style that too many people seem to be into today. This brings me such joy. You can tell her personal style translated to the home.
I kept having to pause to look at the stunning details. I'll definitely have to take some screencaps for inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.
Her home is just amazing and beautiful l enjoy this video so so much.
A home with personality! Love it .
Shopped all over the world, not in fancy stores, but flea markets. Love it.
So many beautiful colours, I feel love and happiness here. 💕 😄 I was wondering where to keep my books. I got some ideas here 💫💫💫
I love the bright colours.
Love the kitchen table on books!!! Amazing video once again!
I loved her confidence showing the kitchen table on books.
How glorious. Colour! Such a joy to see in this day and age where it’s all griege!
What an interesting lady. I love the chaos. I bet Lucinda knows exactly where to find things.
The red color is fabulous, makes one happy
Epic! A wonderful example of English eccentricity spiced with exuberance.
Love all the colours and textures of a home. Everything has purpose beauty and a story
Beautiful and original
I just need to say that THIS is a home! It’s full of art and inspiration and meaning! There is nothing pretentious and it doesn’t make her look like she’s posturing to keep up with others. And might I add, her shoes are EVERYTHING ❤❤❤
This home is so warm, aesthetic and welcoming! Love that she asked her son what colors to paint the room, homes with personality and a story are so much better than those blank beige boxes that are trendy now
Just a dreamy colorful house🙄💖
I currently live in New Zealand but coming from India... I cannot imagine living in a house without any color. Though my style is more scandinavian... my house is a good blend of scandi with Indian handcrafts, paintings, indian decors with lots of colors and patterns. No color, no life. 😊
I just came back from Marrakech and you won't believe the things I brought back in my luggages. Is crazy there. They won't let you go once you are inside their shops and one won't resist of the number they offer you at the end of many back and forth because it good music for your ears 😂. I left personal stuff there for the sake of bringing things back home 😅
I love this home! I wish I could live there.Just amazing.
I love cluttered homes like this. So full of life. However, I can’t comprehend how long dusting would take, lol.
This is not a 'cluttered' home - it is a place filled with things that she loves and has fond memories of.
@@MTMF.london it IS cluttered. Filled with beautiful mess. personality. history. but u have to agree, this is hard to clean! i’d go crazy in this house. she probably has cleaners though. good for her.
I imagine that with that size of house, in the middle of london, dusting would be someone else's problem
Its called maximalism (opposit of minimalism), when books, bookshelves, vases, art objects, walls full with paintings, big chandeliers, layers of curtains, layers of carpets, mixture of textiles, mix of patterns, colors, materials are in rooms. It remainds of "curiosity chambers" bevor museums were even invented in history.
I'm pretty sure she has cleaners for that.
The use of color and texture is brilliant! I want to be a person like this to have such boldness. I just don’t think I can pull it off.❤❤❤
Completely original just like the owner! Colorful, well collected, lived in and cozy.💕
I say this often; l love the visual clutter. Beautiful eclectic decor.
Gorgeous house
Love the way she dresses and her home mirrors that relaxed but considered eclecticism...
I love homes where every item, picture, fabric, piece of furniture, etc. has a story, and you want to hear every one!
I could watch this video many times. Lucinda has such a unique style. She is an elegant woman who exhibits such originality.
I love all the red and bold colors.
Absolutely love the postcard / children’s art wall 😍
Having all those little items out in the open means tons and tons of dusting...all the time.😊😊 That Lucinda's joyful place is a market becomes very clear... her house looks exactly like an exotic market. 💖💐🎉
hello please help me learn english
She has pops of acid yellow colour everywhere - so cleverly done.
The yellow room 😩😍😍😍😍
I like her saying ‘ every surface is a colour opportunity or a pattern opportunity ‘
Que casa tan bella e interesante, como su dueña, ame todo!🌹
Uma das casa mais "lindas" que já vi...amei!!! Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
I love that she explains the finances a bit. It shows you how saving heavily is important...
Wonderful home , so touching and vibrant filled with wonders 💙😊❤
Wonderful place. Such a gift, for among other things, colour - and gallery walls - so very well done here. And every last thing is worth looking at!
My dream home. So full of beauty and life!
Such a lovely, interesting house. Effortless and unique 👌
I love her! 😍😍😍
I love all the colorful details 💝 tfs
Your art is so Beautiful!! Your home is beautiful! :)
I love how the table is on books.
LOVE IT!
This is a lovely space / home, hope London does not forget the many places that make London nice.
Even at 1/4 speed, I could hardly take in the rich details of these interiors. So much to look at here. A home to savor slowly.
That mirrored fireplace 😍 stunning!
Beautiful colors and wonderful style-a true reflexion of your delightful personality.
I love this woman's brain and vision! She is brilliant. She is the essence of inspiration..I could easily live there.💜😺
OMG, what a lovely house and reaIly a cozy home !!! I would want to move in there immediately, it looks so fantastic and inspires me a lot !! Thanks for this great video with many ideas to emulate !!
Very real and lived in home, I love that yellow room too
Everything look well chosen and display with a story to tell. I Love the coulours and the drawings are well exploited. ❤️💛🧡💜
So sumptuous, so fascinating!
This makes my maximalist heart so happy!!
I enjoyed this so much and am so inspired! Thank you!
I loved it when she said she dressed like her house or her house looks like her! Just superb!
So joyful, thoughtful and beautiful 🤍✨
It is cozy and full of history and charm. Fabulous 🍃
