Country florals paired with nubby grasscloth wallcoverings; inky tones and plush textiles with design-led prints. The home of Kentucky-born Michelle Hagemeier and her German husband Jan reveals the eclectic imprint of a well-traveled family, yet every element co-exists easily, resulting in spaces that are tactile, cocooning, and adventurous.
The couple’s Victorian villa in west London may share the same slim, multi-story configuration as so many other terraces, but behind its door lies a host of confident design choices. Interiors fuse contemporary detailing, mid-century elements, and an American preference for colour and pattern – with a sprinkling of English country style for good measure.
Michelle, a seasoned renovator, and Jan, who works in financial services, lived in this house for a year with their daughter Lilli, now 12, before undertaking a renovation. ‘It was a good opportunity to see how its bones settled around us,’ says Michelle, whose first restoration 25 years ago was a modest maker’s bungalow in Portland, Oregon.
