Marvelous in Madrid

I picked up an old issue of Nuevo Estilo magazine while I was in Soho yesterday due to this spread. The home is the Madrid apartment of interior designer Raúl Martins. It’s filled with everything I love, shades of white and blue with pops of black, a mix of gilt and chrome, classical elements, and modern pieces. If you know Spanish, you can read the article online. But if you don’t, I think the photos speak for themselves.

It kind of reminds me of a kinder, gentler Jennifer Ferreira. Lovely!
The place is so elegant and classic yet comfortable.. There are really many grand and elegant apartments in Madrid. Thanks for sharing.

That lucite Klismos is pretty special.
This is just too beautiful for words! So glad I got to see it! I’m dying to stay in touch with your blog! It’s always incredible!
love the look of the colorful books against the patterned black-white rug!
Classy and Masculine with feminine accents. I love it!
Hi Heather. I love this post–after living in Madrid for seven years, Spanish contemporary design is what makes me hummmmm. And I was really surprised to see the smaller version of the brass and chrome coffee table that I bought in Madrid (and still use) in the 80’s to be featured in the second photo–Janen inspired, but Madrid made. There are so many elements in this feature that I have carried in my shop in the past and even now. Thanks for propping up my spirits. Mary
Such a beautiful home to share with us. For me, the addition of warm coloured wood is a must in such a gray and limited palette. Lovely and thank you, Heather!
