Modern Dining Room Design Idea

London designer Charles Mellersh was a member of the original editorial team at Wallpaper (along with Tyler Brule, now of Monocle, Alasdhair Willis, who until recently headed up Established & Sons, and Paul de Zwart of Another Country furniture). "In a past life, my role as an interiors editor at Wallpaper was to instill each story with a distinct narrative and to translate this onto the page," Mellersh says. "I used to pull inspiration and items from a global list of suppliers, often with a nod to a specific time or place in mind, and this is very much how I approach each project as a designer. It's not just design for design's sake. It's about telling a story and trying to create an atmosphere that provokes an emotional response." For this Notting Hill house, Mellersh worked with the owners to create a modern space with "warmth and soul. We looked to the historic references in the building and the location for initial inspiration, and then interpreted these references in a modern way without being slavish to the past or losing sight of it altogether."
