Prints, Patterns And Pink Windows: The Colourful Life Of Design Stylist Betsy Smith
A weekly newsletter of home and interior inspiration, delivered to your inbox: themodernhouse.social/x79
When it comes to interiors, stylist and creative consultant Betsy Smith is celebrated for her excellent command of colour. In particular, her skills lie in pairing contrasting hues to create surprisingly pleasing palettes. Betsy’s own home, a 1970s house in Peckham, south-east London, features many shades, from the bold red of her Weiner chairs to the olive green of her walls. Naturally, then, colour made the cut - in more ways than one - when we asked her to select her Seven Wonders.

So many take-aways from this: the paint inside the window recess, the grid display wall, taking dark paint beyond the corner to make the edge of the room disappear, the clever sliding doors behind the sink. The bedroom mirror is beautiful. Great to see social housing transformed into an inspiring home.
So many lessons learned, this is someone who meditates design, and believes in the magic of color. I love her!

This videos are pure gold. Please don’t stop making them!
Wow, those mirrors your Dad made are beautiful. What an artist.
Love the storage. Kitchen. Window. The best part of the house is how the storage appeared to be customized for the dimensions of the space.
I had no idea a simple color combination could give me such a big impression! Pleasant!
I used to work with Betsy, such a creative flair and sense of style.
Serene, effortlessly uncluttered. Betsy has perfect pitch in colour.
really like the chairs and the sliding panels in the kitchen
I love how short and intimate these design interior tours are.
Deliciously colourful. There is sooo much personality in all of these spaces. Wonderful!

Brilliant mix of colours..I'm trying to do a flat colour tones for very first time and it is paralysing my mind to get the rooms sort of themed.
I have watched this video 5 times since I discovered it this morning and I am sure I will watch it many more times. Your eye for color and general style sense are impeccable. Would you please share with me the origin of the graphic rug in your living room?

Thank you for your kind comments - the rug is from The Conran Shop, but over 15 years old now. Check out their website though as they have some lovely designs from a company call rrres studio that have a similar aesthetic. X

Thank you - I made the unit (with a bit of help from my Dad) mainly because I wanted it to fit the whole width of the room and needed to build in situ as nothing fits up my stairs! The sliding doors are just a painted finish.

I just want to know who cleans, because I get driven nuts.
It's gorgeous, but no way does anyone live there. It's a shame that social housing was gentrified so she could have a showroom.
All the colours she put in her house she lacked on her clothes and bags
Sterile reminds me of a children's hospital 🤮
I’m sorry this looks like a Wayfair catalog. Not much else. What’s more those plants look so messy.

Yeah at this point this kind of house should just be seen as a kind of traditional modern style. It’s been done so much it doesn’t really warrant being showcased on here in my opinion, it’s just the typical style of a modern designer with a lot of money and a liking for quirky and abstract
