Inside Interior Designer Douglas Mackie’s Laboratory of Art

[@yolandaneely6431]

I get the sense he wants to impress himself and not anyone else! Very refreshing! Fabulous collection and the decor amazingly perfect.

[@kwr2879]

I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the art or the sound of your voice..my goodness!!!

[@shermyluvstrent]

Right?! OMG, such a LUXURIOUS voice and home lol!

[@biblemademedoit]

Beautiful and yet his home looks so welcoming and filled with life!

[@payamism]

What a deep voice! You can't say no to this guy.

[@SamSoMite421]

LMAOOOO

[@revanelson8810]

True. I was thinking the same thing- deep voice with an accent.

[@harveyspecter1855]

@@revanelson8810 doesn't every person have an accent ?!!

[@roospooscreate]

😂

[@agomodern]

I don't swing that way.

[@reddawn2072]

Art is where you find it. In that sense it is priceless.

[@belkisrosario9951]

I’d buy his voice- a work of art in itself😍

[@Lolamola333]

I agree

[@gleelee2008]

that green painting above his mantle is jaw droppingly gorgeous! his aesthetic and taste is beyond impeccable. an unerring eye.

[@agomodern]

I'd have one too if it were within my budget.

[@Thomas-fu8vp]

So seemingly humble and understated.I am referring to the urbane gentleman. Yet...........this bold house speaks loudly of a powerful personality behind it.

[@abeltootlejr.300]

Living with art is transformational! It truly is a spiritual, healing process that one relishes in daily and frankly cannot live without. I understand this fully and thoroughly enjoyed his presentation.

[@mariavairo1640]

Què razòn tenès Abel! Habrìa que proponer que los gobiernos proveyeran casas asì a todo el mundo para transformar la vida de los que no las tienen, yo por ejemplo. Aunque ahora con la plan-demia del coronabritànica estàn muy ocupados.....

[@annettebaker4357]

I adore this. His home is full of color and texture. The art is sublime. I am sick of austere blank canvases with no story.

[@tradebuzzscalptradinglive7296]

Mesmerizing voice. Dreamy interiors. What a concoction!

[@annacoribioanna]

his home is so extremely elegant and soothing

[@andrewbrendan1579]

I like what Mr. Mackie said about learning about an artist but that it's more important to learn about yourself.

[@agomodern]

Learn what you like, not what's trendy.

[@lanusik1000]

Love his clean balanced subtle style.

[@oscar646]

He has a great deal of wisdom and practical good sense to impart. Much appreciated.

[@mcatherinew4779]

Truly stunning. I felt as though I was in one of my philosophy books and reading the sentences over and over and over... to make sure I absorbed as much meaning as possible... of course also made mental notes. What a brilliant artist.

[@Isabelasmalinera]

Surprise!! Lovely design

[@hugholiveiro2081]

Brilliant Philosophy.....not what but how, art should be embraced and resonate with surroundings, and other pieces. In my mind....the cladding of ones soul.............

[@GPflashclass]

His art buying advice is on point.

[@zanyzoo6767]

ive found the best way to collect, is to by for the heart as well as the eye. If it cost £5 OR £5 MILLION , buy ti because you love it and want to live with it .

[@bindar8473]

zanyzoo6767 yes 👌🏼

[@th3azscorpio]

This guy would make an awesome narrator.

[@jantumba4570]

I loved it very much!!!It was a pleasure to this!!!!!!

[@hereforit2347]

Definitely a favorite designer. Great with color and composition.

[@csamaha1696]

What a beautiful house and taste!!🌹

[@ThePatrick1reed]

Thank you, it is about "Taste" and "Experience"

[@mariavairo1640]

Y nacer en un environmente lo suficientemente luxurious and wealthy como para por lo menos haber visto algo parecido. El 90 % de la gente en el mundo jamàs ha entrado en una casa asì y ni se la imagina.Como tampoco imaginan que un piso en Parìs pueda costar seis millones de euros. Como yo tampoco puedo imaginar cuànto es esa suma....màs que pensar que "es mucho"

[@butchlane4609]

Fact is art like decor and fashion are very subjective, "to each his own", it shouldn't matter if others are unable to appreciate the choices of others. Confidence of one's choices and confidence in themself is all that's required.

[@jeffyoung4078]

I hope to have a Henry Moore drawing casually hanging near my refrigerator one day as well.

[@agomodern]

Exactly! Why not?

[@williamjames9041]

Fabulous collection and the decor amazingly perfect.

[@tahminalisa5659]

His voice is everything!!!

[@ClassicalProtestant]

I’ve often told my wife - whether it be antiques or garments - the outfit of the day…I genuinely since a young age wanted to do it for pure joy and not to signal or court attention. It’s true joy - that’s it. Authentic and real.

[@christopherone1]

incredible space. every room beautiful. amazing art and design. luv luv

[@nmj2411]

I love your beautiful home! And I love how you draw your designs on your tablet! This is something I’d like to learn how to do. Please give me a bit of advice on this. How did you learn?

Mounting the corpus on a piece of plexiglass or Perspex, now that’s something I think I can do with my 18th century bronze corpus that’s been in a drawer for years. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@tropicalblooms4106]

These people are on another level...i never understand abstract painting, nor do i understand keeping weird statues without body head and without hand.

[@craigathonian]

Good lord !!! Just seeing snip-it's of this guy's portfolio of work, I can tell he's way above others in talent. He's definitely the designer of designers... Or ? is it... The designer for designers ? Oh well, whatever ! He's just the BEST !!!

Yo podrìa vivir en una choza en medio del campo y estar bien, pero què orgàsmico ver tanta belleza!!! Impecable equilibrio! Y encima don Douglas habla INGLES ! no yankee, asì que le entieeeendo! Merveilleux!!!!

Decor is superb, the paintings, no thank you.

[@franzgrabe1]

absolutely agree! I've watched decorators over many years.....they can do magic with furniture but never with paintings and real art.....they constantly fail to forget about colour, texture and other decorators tools, instead of seeing the art work itself.

[@catdog605]

😂I thought I’m the only one.

[@seficurada4375]

the paintings are personal. he likes it, it sparks something inside so that is all the matters. art an objective, personal experience.

Very impressive and interesting. He has assembled things cleverly and courageously. I could have done without the background music which was irrelevant and unnecessary, and at times intrusive.

[@Ad_Astra2023]

A young Cambridge lad possibly from a wealthy aristocrat family stays rich and savour that very life just like his ancestors might have. I guess it proves that rich stays rich, poor stays poor unless you're an extraordinary person who overcomes the background. One thing is though, I don't see 'less ordinary' in this as the title suggests, only the typical ordinary high class person's life.

[@megaswenson]

IQ , and other characteristics which help a person get ahead, are largely HERITABLE. People who've inherited genes which make them dumb, ugly, lazy and foolish, tend to move downward - even when they've been given substantial wealth. People whose genes make them smart, beautiful, driven to achieve, and wise, tend to move upward - even when they begin with nothing. And we were not told whether or not he had to PAY, to attend Cambridge.

[@isaimellado895]
