Visit: THE HOME OF DESIGNER MOLLY KIDD

In the heart of Oregon’s forest, nestled on an acre of natural land, Molly Kidd’s home stands as an intimate and inspiring retreat. Founder of her eponymous studio, Molly Kidd explores her universe here: a warm minimalism where simplicity, comfort, and the beauty of natural materials blend with elegance. Her 1980s residence, completely reimagined, combines the understated charm of European interiors with the raw, luminous beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

A former florist and blogger, Molly Kidd turned to design with a keen eye for light, textures, and the emotional resonance of a space. Her approach draws on the Shaker style, known for its humility and precision, which she softens with a subtle palette of linen, soft beige, amber brown, and dusty pink. Natural materials—solid wood, stone, plaster, and washed linen—are layered with care, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and contemporary. Here, we visit her own home, a true manifesto of this warm minimalism, where every room is designed to evolve with the light and daily life.

The project began with an extended period of immersion: studying the light, understanding the natural flow of the spaces, and sensing the house’s energy. The result is an interior that exudes warmth and sophistication. Venetian plaster walls, rich Farrow & Ball tones, and bespoke cabinetry are paired with vintage Murano lighting and a rare chocolate-hued Lacanche range, the centerpiece of the kitchen.

The restored rounded entryway and colonial windows structure the space while allowing nature to converse with the interior. Each room evolves, breathes, and lives with its inhabitants. From custom plaster showers to antique furniture and carefully selected pieces from Sixpenny, every detail reflects Molly Kidd’s devotion to beauty, functionality, and legacy.

" Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s forest, Molly Kidd’s home combines the simple, authentic spirit of country living with warm minimalism, where every natural material and soft hue tells a story of life close to nature. "

Nothing is left to chance, yet nothing is fixed. At Molly Kidd Studios, design evolves over time: objects are moved, colors shift with the light, and the space remains alive and sincere. Her approach celebrates a return to essentials and harmony, far from aesthetic excess.

In a world saturated with images and trends, Molly Kidd Studios champions a quiet elegance. Her home is a contemporary refuge—both humble and sophisticated—embodying true, simple, and lasting comfort, faithful to the spirit of a reimagined rural lifestyle.

Beyond its role as a family home, this house serves as a living showroom. It gives clients a tangible insight into Molly Kidd’s approach: a design that is sustainable, multidimensional, and deeply human. More than just an interior, it tells a story of transformation—a vivid demonstration of Molly Kidd’s way of living: warm, authentic, contemporary minimalism, where every space has its own story to tell.
