Inspiring interiors of advertising agencies around the world

Posted on October 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

From experience I know to what length advertising agencies go to attract the attention of prospects, peers and clients. Elaborate parties, treats, pressies, incentives; you name it. Crisis smisis; there’s money to be made because brands still need to be in the spotlight and are still looking for a partner in crime to spend a lot of cash with, and more importantly, on! And we all know the saying “you only get one chance to make a first impression”. Often that first impression is in the office of the agency. So it better impresses! My former colleague Paul Kramer blogs about the world of advertising on his blog Ad-aglance.com. He rounded up eight inspiring interiors of agencies around the globe. Have a look at TBWA (Tokyo), Brandbase (Amsterdam), Roorda (Amsterdam),JWT (New York), Leo Burnett (Sidney), Mother (London), Wieden & Kennedy (London)and Pullpo (Santiago) respectively.

Mayor Bloomberg’s decorator spills the beans

Posted on September 21, 2011 | 1 comment

New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg has always been keen not to share too much about his home and private life. It’s must bug him that his interior decorator posted photo’s of two of his homes on his website.. for the whole world to see. An editor of the New York Times revealed the photographs. The images have since been taken down but too late to prevent several online posts including this one. Might I say; what tacky an interior this is? I’d expect a bit more class or at least a little less zoo from the Bloombergs considering their conservative dress sense……

Arjan’s apartment journey

Posted on September 14, 2011 | Leave a comment

Loyal Homevoyeurs aficionado Arjan took an apartment journey too. The day after I posted about my own, he took up the challenge and captured bits and pieces of his own home. Arjan doesn’t have an iPhone, therefore also doesn’t have the Hipstamatic app so the pictures are crystal clear. Maybe a bit too calculated too as the objects pictured are all high-end design pieces. The purpose was to find beauty in the unusual, the accidental or the overlooked, but the result is striking nonetheless.  The marble table pictures in the forefront of the image with the red Arne Jacobson Egg chair is a  rare Porsgrunn Poul Kjaerholm PK61 table. More about that in a later post!



If you are inspired by Arjan’s home, you might like this book about Arne Jacobson. It’s on sale now for $29,70 in the Homevoyeurs webshop.

Charlie Sheen’s old home

Posted on September 13, 2011 | Leave a comment

Running behind a bit as it was on the market back in 2009, but I found these pics of Charlie Sheen’s former home on Hooked on Houses. I really like the decor bar the dining room chairs. Those I do NOT like. Love the study however. Very inspiring as I am currently researching a possible redecorating of my own study.

Charlie Sheen's old home

Love the vaulted ceiling with the beams!

Yep, pretty much perfect sitting room.....

Not a big fan of the chairs, to say the least...

I absolutely love this study.....

This house looks like it was decorated by Jon Hutman and Beth Rubino who team up frequently to style the movies of Nancy Meyer.
