A fresh take on a seaside bed and breakfast experience

Case study: MODJA MODJA HOUSE

Amy Croft, artist and founder of Modja Modja House, invited us inside her latest creation - unique 3 bedroom guesthouse, which Amy renovated from 1830’s sweet shop in Cliftonville Margate.

“Each of our three bedrooms at Modja Modja House are carefully curated to champion good design, art, and craft.”

Creative Residence

Amy embraced local charm of Margate and kept the overall colour scheme pale and light.

“Using this as a base I gave each of the house’s three guest rooms its own colour palette that plays with tonal combinations and textural layering inspired by Sanzo Wada’s 1934 “A Dictionary of Colour Combinations.” I've been fascinated by the book for sometime - it is a collection of hues and shades largely from Japanese fashion and design which feel very unusual for a western colour palette and particularly in the combinations they play with.”

Understated Elegance

We asked Amy what are her must-hame bedroom accessories and Amy's answer is no surprise considering she has chosen the Maud for one of her guest bedrooms.

“...We have had so many comments about our amazing beds, for their incredible comfort but also the stunning design. We have the Maud cast iron bed in the bronze finish which I love for it's understated elegance.”
