House & Garden presents Houses with History from Charleston House. Join Lucy Hammond Giles, Associate Director at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler, as we tour Charleston House, once home to artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
Vanessa and Duncan saw no particular distinction between art and interior design, and treated the house as a canvas, painting practically every wall and piece of furniture in their own distinctive styles. As a result, the house is not only a significant piece of art history, but a landmark in the history of interior decoration. Watch the full video, as Lucy provides her unique perspective as a decorator whilst we explore this historic house.

I love this house so much, I hate that many of today’s houses have stark white or plain walls and bland coloured furniture

@kimstahl6833 Год назад

I totally agree. There is no personality .

@ClosetGothic Год назад

We are all different, aren’t we? I love elements of the house but find the overall totally overwhelming. Whitewashed walls with just some of these beautiful art pieces would suit me fine.

@tammyharris11 Год назад

@shastriseeraj7425 Год назад

@@ClosetGothic juast as you,this is my opinion,and I was wondering if in those times there was any design principles used in these houses,I love these old house, so much history and character but the decor to seems a hodge podge of things put together by owners that they liked, which his wonderful and how it should be,but like you it is a bit too much for my taste

@isabelleskiss Год назад

I knew this house from books and it was always the house of my dreams, but as you show it in this video it comes alive! The whirlwind of creativity that has wrought in this home is stunning!

@bbgunn917 Год назад

I've gone here so many times over decades and the video while lovely doesn't portray the amazing ambience inside the house. One time, in the 90s, I was terribly upset and one of the superb docents took me to sit in a chair in the garden room and chat. I'm sure it wasn't really allowed but it was unforgettable. The walled garden is fabulous and I'm sure they took the house for the far views over Sussex downs (plus sister Virgina Woolf lived nearby at Rodmell) There was a book festival in the summer where I heard Lisa St Aubin de Teran talk. TY Charleston for so many memories.

An artist’s home! My favorite kind. ❤

@giselameyn2019 Год назад

We've become so boring and fearful in our designs. This is bold and brave and beautiful and full of life and warmth. Love it!

@susanrichard5884 Год назад

Thank you for showing the "Gone too far" chairs. They and the entire house are fantasticly wonderful .❤ May we all let our creativity go to such delightful extremes 😊 please do show us more creatively done homes.

@cauehernandes5210 Год назад

Loved this!! ❤ Could you please do Virginia Woolf’s monk’s house next? 🙏🏻

@ochervelvet9687 Год назад

Thank you for filming this. Whenever I’ve seen photographs of this house they’ve always concentrated on the famous mantelpieces. It’s really nice to see the rest of the house.

@vanessaisom8620 Год назад

Thank you for this. I have visited this house many times, and love to stand in the rooms and imagine the 'Bloomsbury set getting on with their daily lives within the walls. This is a real artists home, where art is not confined to canvasses but to everything within the house. Love it!

@stevemiller7949 Год назад

Lucy provided lovely commentary. Maybe Iam too romantic but I felt like I was connecting with the spirit of those charming people who lived so intensely in that lovely place.

@aiai-j7i Год назад

Me too!

@sunitashastry5270 Год назад

This is a real cool example of living in the early 20th century. What an interesting place to live.

@bettinarossi7908 Год назад

Me too!! Love,love this charming home..so filled with the love,admiration and respect these two people had for one another as artists,friends and as lovers...and quite brilliant is this decorator's style of dress! The whimsical sneakers and long coat! Just wonderful. Great video!🙂Thank you😺

@wellingtonlessa96 Год назад

The most authentic house I've ever seen. No more words!

@billyporter2195 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for taking us around Charleston. I’ve watched many films and videos, and read books on Bloomsbury but this house , to me, is the outstanding legacy. The colours, textures and style just seems so comfortable to me and I would choose Charleston over any palace or Villa etc for my peace of mind Thank you👍

@abeerali7834 Год назад

Full of surprises that every detail is delightful and feeds rainbow candy to the eyes.

@malgozata1875 Год назад

This was the best presentation of Charleston House that I have seen yet. Thank you very, very much.

@ritazita1111 Год назад

Wonderful!!--as a painter myself, I have always been drawn to this house. I like this particular video best of all I've seen, as I suspect the colors here are more true to the actual colors. Thank you very much.

@Lin-1785 Год назад

I'm so speechlessly in love with this house and its history and spirit. Has been high on my ToVisit list for a long time. This vid is delicious!

@elaineroberts7493 Год назад

Such a lovely start to my day, when this popped up in my RU-vid feed! I love visiting Charleston, and absorbing the atmosphere in each room. The paintwork, and the wonderful paintings in the whole house are so wonderful. The one advantage of Covid for me was that groups were restricted in size, as the rooms are small, and it was possible to see everything more clearly without jostling around other visitors. The garden too is lovely - I just want to go back again!

@katymerk1750 Год назад

What a marvelous tour of this glorious home. Thank you! I'd read that Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell were a source of inspiration for Luke Edward Hall's work and wow-- I definitely see it. What a wonderful peek into such a layered, historic home.

@arcgaatrako Год назад

Oh wow, what a house! The faded colours of Duncan's studio come in an incredibly beautiful contrast with the vibrant, dotted synthetic pillow case. A happy accident! :) I bet he would have liked the aesthetic effect. Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

@jefflawrentz1624 Год назад

Wow- that was beautiful. It’s difficult to pick a favorite room - but if I had to it would be the study/ library. Wonderful!

@carolking6355 Год назад

What a stunning house.

@bettinarossi7908 3 месяца назад

Many a wall was painted,many a new creative project was forged..during the pandemic,no doubt. Creating art is soothing,as it is therapeutic..hence art is essential..😊 This house is beyond fabulous...it's whimsy and abandonment of spirit ,is evident.The dining room hanging light and the painted table..are crazy makers..in a delightful way. So inspiring.It is like living in a Matisse painting. You can still feel the vibe of love of life in all aspects in all the rooms. Splendid.😺

@Ma-thespacebetween Год назад

If any interior could change me from being a minimalist, it's Charleston! It's like the inside of a gorgeous picture story book, told by a wonderful storyteller.

@stephanieGallantvlogs Год назад

wow, beautiful home with so much character.

@TheScarletprimrose Год назад

Charming, in depth rich feelings of the past. A house still alive with intentional love joy peace!! I smile when I imagine their life. Where is Charleston?

@wmomente Год назад

Love this house - yes Art is essential !!!!

@kimwilliams1526 Год назад

i love this home.

@cooperwesley1536 Год назад

It works as a lovely museum that highlights how a certain sort of rebel soul lived in times past, AND it contains moments of inspiration as well... but I can't imagine living that way today. It's truly lovely, and I'm so glad to see it, but I can't imagine trying to reproduce such a style in our contemporary world. With that in mind, I do wish more people would embrace color in the way that the Bloomsbury Group did. I'm so deadly bored of "the neutral palette." Many thanks.

@clairenoon4070 Год назад

Honestly, there are a fair few contemporary homes in the UK that aren't dissimilar (though nobody would want to live in a pastiche of Charleston). Have a look at the blog 'Bible of British Taste' for a sense of how creatives and aesthetes are living. Even my own house, on a diminutive scale, is full of layered pattern, all done on the cheap.

@alfrtz7603 Год назад

@sherrycohen1824 5 месяцев назад

Many years ago I was privileged to attend a discussion of Charleston House with Deborah Gage, whose family once owned it. She talked about the careful restoration following years of damage. One thing that stood out was that the artists didn't always use traditional methods to preserve what they painted. They painted over things when they wanted something new. This was a problem when making decisions on how to restore it because it couldn't just be fixed in one time.

@DevonExplorer Год назад

What a fabulous house. It's pure delight and I'm so glad it was kept for us to see today. Now that's what I call real Boho! :)

How gorgeous and interesting. Thank you so much

@galaxy_mosaic3587 Год назад

I really like the wall decor (dining room). there is something kind beautiful and charming about its hand-painted aspect. the style of painting on the furniture almost reminds of a precursor to Memphis (furniture design). although Memphis is a lot of abstract and structured, there is something of that playfulness and sort of whimsy to the painting style

@Crosbie100 Год назад

I love this house. Very unusual

@edramirez1240 Год назад

The house is so charming and arresting. I believe the artist Dora Carrington did the same thing at the house she share with Lytton Strachey.

@simoncrawley7430 8 месяцев назад

About as authentic as a house can get. None of the cloying curated clutter of the lovie class. My favorite yet.

@jamesparciak9765 Год назад

AH It's all fantastic. Complicated for me I do interior design if I did any of that I would think it's awful. I'm very critical of my work and I do very nice design, I'm to self controle

@sibillafarinella9955 Год назад

Stupendo

@sarahbreisch4750 Год назад

WOW. I have several 110 year old doors in my house which need to be stripped and re-painted. I never considered anything by solid color. The pantry door in my kitchen just might be a dark blue with moon phases, rabbits and herbs. because why not

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@christophermaulden733 Год назад

I'm rather surprised the hallway walls are rather bland and not painted in a fantastically creative way . Luke Edward Hall , artist , illustrator , and designer seems to be heavily influenced by the interior design of this home and the associated artists of the Bloomsbury group of friends and creatives .

@sunnya5014 Год назад

Really loved this house but those “marks from the rain” look like mold to me.

@christophermaulden733 Год назад

Why did this home have the name ' Charleston ' ? What is the history of the house and name ? 🤔

@nagolhayze9366 Год назад

With respect, are you saying that the dead Vanessa Bell lived with Duncan Grant until 1978, the year he died, even tho she died in 1961 ... ?

@Jojoeyjo Год назад

Likely just an error.

@wendysherwood1012 Год назад

She said in the video that she died in 1961.

@s.p.8803 Год назад

It's a way of speaking, taking the couple as an entity.

Case of the Emperor's new clothes, imo. The decorations are crude, and look like the work of amateurs. If this had been the home of Mr and Mrs Bloggs, it wouldn't have merited a second look. The only nice thing about Charleston is the garden.

Mah-CRA-mee? Is that like Nigella Lawson’s mee-cro-WAH-vay for microwave? 🧐 We yanks pronounce macrame as MAC-ro-may. Can we get an expert to weigh in?

@elaineroberts7493 Год назад

In England, we pronounce it the 1st way - there are many words we say differently this side of the Atlantic!

@ExLibris-Alys Год назад

It was our language long before Americans (other than native Americans) came along. Get over yourself.

@s.p.8803 Год назад

The correct pronuntiation is the British one, roughly the same as the Italian one (minus the h), which is the original. Before that, the word was coming from Arab (1st) then Turkish words.
