Inside the colourful home of Max Hurd | Living with Style

- Creative consultant Max Hurd had just one requirement when looking for his northwest London end-of-terrace: it needed to have space for the enormous painting from his childhood in Brazil that now stretches from the front door, all the way along the hall to the kitchen, where more recent memories line the walls. A portrait of his beloved Ivana, a recently deceased chihuahua who helped him “accept his queer identity”, takes pride of place, while artworks by his friends and photographs fill the back wall.
You won’t easily find anything practical here. Fairy-sized cocktail glasses and porcelain ladies of leisure with cocktail umbrellas are given preference over the hidden-from-view kettle and toaster so that everything on show is “pretty but pointless”, the mantra Max says sums up the house he shares with his male-model housemate.
Watch the video to visit the theatrical orange bedroom (the “most comfortable colour” for his eyes) and the loft room, originally pegged as a “sex room” but now used for after-dinner martinis and board games.

Love “I have an allergic reaction to anything practical”. Fabulous
and of course he doesn't at all
Most brits do. Weird people.
"An allergic reaction to anything practical" - thank you so much, finally I know the name of my affliction! 😀
same! 😄
Can't practical things be beautiful? A Smeg pale blue kettle which I can't afford, sadly, is just Mmmmm
I love his dedication to surrounding himself with pieces created by, or given by, or inspired by, family and friends. He clearly has a good heart. He has made his love of the people who are important to him evident in every room of his home...and that is not something you see every day. Too many people are motivated by a sense of self. However, his home is virtually a shrine to his loved ones.
shoes in the house!?
That's the dream, having friends who make art and fill your home with it.
Max's home decor reminds me of a doll's house full of fun things. His home is so warm and cozy. I like the color scheme and his family pictures and mementos throughout. The library is my favorite room. Watching his cute fluffy cat run down and walk up the stairs made me smile.
Doll house!!! Perfect. That's exactly right!
Love his esthetic, his personality, and taste
Such a charming sophisticated young man with a bit of an edge. Original decor unlike anything I've seen before.
Love how cosy the house feels and playful use of colour. Great tour, thank you for having us look around Max 😍
What a lovely, warm, likeable character Max is...his story telling is wonderful and I love the photos of him and his dad throughout his stunning house
A charming host with a charming house. Loved this video!
..... wonderful & am the biggest fan of that stair carpet. And the wonderful cat .. !!
I really want to pick up the cat and pet him or her. Beautiful cat!
The most beautiful thing in the video is the CAT! In love with that fluffy ball!
And the house has amazing good vibes
How doe's one suggest someone for these videos? I know a girl with the most INSANE house that she inherited and her family owned for more than 400 years
Make sure she’s willing to give a complete interview on the history of the home and the interiors first. If she agrees, ask for a few photos to email to the creators of this channel
@@Discodoos She defiantly would! It's an epic history with royal connections, scandals, and the house is phenomenal! Do you know where I'd find the email?
Wow sounds very intriguing and interesting!!! Does she have instagram or a social account?
@@ja3724 What country is it in?

Not trolling, not even slightly. I really love his house. However I was thinking as I watched that it's interesting how things that for a poor person would come across as, tacky and signs of poverty, if you are rich enough become "stylish". Brick a brack, mismatched colours and patterns, old foxed mirrors, lack of modern appliances etc, doodles and trinkets made by friends. I mean the plate with the fish and fork on it hanging on the wall. Personally I think is cute as heck, but also objectively, if you walked into a council house and someone said, oh yah my kid made that in school and I hung it up you wouldn't be saying "wow these people are design geniuses", you'd just think, oh, that's cute. And then if you saw a kitchen that looked like it's 150 years old you wouldn't think "gosh what a bold use of primitive style" you'd think they just couldn't afford to have a better kitchen. Once again, in no way saying that Max is doing anything wrong, or being rude, or hates poor people or anything of the sort. This video just made me think about the privilege of being rich where things that look cheap suddenly make you look richer rather than poor
Definitely. It's similar to that thing with clothes of "is it stylish or are they just rich and skinny". Normal people wouldn't get away with half the things rich folks wear.
We see so many professionally & beautifully designed Houses featured on various platforms, but they don't give you that sense of HOME like Max's, his home has soul & I absolutely loved watching this.
This is one of the best houses I've seen.
It really is! 😍
His home is fabulous, he's charming, the cat is adorable, I love how he says this or that lives here, I like how Ivana the Chihuahua got her name because Ivana Trump had the best line in "The First Wives Club" (great movie), but my favorite was the picture of his very beautiful great aunt and her story. Ooh la la!
The portrait of Ivana is beautiful and classic ❤
He’s a walking work of art🚶♀️Just want to draw him in his fab home !
😊 That is such a sweet sentiment! ❤
Made me feel so cosy love it
Wow! Maximalism at its very best. Cohesive abundance doubling as warm and cozy. And there is so much variety. From the warm, yet moody upper floor to the light and bright nautical bedroom. So well thought out and personal with a cornucopia of visual delights.
Homes with colour and character are always a feast to the eyes! Xx
He is great story-teller - I enjoyed the tour and the meaning behind everything
What a happy, beautiful, calm, interesting, ecstatic. LOve that sweater too😊
I've never heard of this guy before.
But, after watching this video, I so would Love to have him as a neighbor.
I adore this home! It is so refreshing to see a homeowner make their home special with unique colors and items they love. Gorgeous kitty, too! ❤
So interesting! I love houses with many "stories" in them...quite the opposite of the white/gray/black/beige places all over the internet.
Awww, Max...I just love your beautiful home! Thank you for sharing your sweet memories with us, 🌈
The nymphomaniac great aunt looking over them 😂 absolutely brilliant! Loved this tour ❤
What a grand home. And I would love to have a cocktail and explore!
Everything about this house AND its owner! 😍
I love your jumper and the colour scheme throughout the house!
Love everything: Max, recollections & creative home. Oscar Wilde would approve
the first wife club's movie is a masterpiece!!!
They way the cat followed him up the stairs!😂😂😂 I love the colorful carpet on the steps & the way he decorates is so unique. Love it all!❤
i watch a lot of these short videos to get inspiration for my house but also because I like to see how people express their senses and personalities in their homes. But i am so in love with this home video. It s poetic, uniquely stylish, homely and so cozily joyful.
I'm absolutely obsessed with this house. So many ideas that I would love to execute in my own future house, albeit mixed with some slightly more modern furnishings and a different colour palette. But I love how awesome a home can be when designed with no shame and every detail in mind. Love love love it!
Such an interesting young man. The bold colours & patterns work well. Love the colour of the kitchen.
What a Daring young man... Cheers mate!!!
MAX, YOU ARE A STAR IN YOUR HEAVENLY HOME!!!!3💙💙💙
I adore your House! The art, everything is so original!
Much love from South of France☀️✨⭐🌟⭐✨☀️🥀🍀✨💞🌟💫🥰
The Dale Chihuly carpet was a fab revelation! Love!
He's absolutely amazing and so is his house! Bravo!
What a gorgeous home. He has really put together a showcase of treasures. Lovely colors.
I love the stair carpet.
The montage of the king framed on his green wall is Incredible !!🎉
Max you are eloquent and beautiful. Your home is incredible! Thank you for sharing your video ❤
I wish I was their next-door neighbor. Love everything about Mr. Hurd and his views on living in style.
What an interesting person you are. It is a pleasure to listen to you speak so knowledgeably. Your home is fascinating and welcoming.
The electric decor and colors are amazing! Honestly gave me so much inspiration for my own home

Very personal and cozy home with a lot of great art works and beloved family stuff. Congrats!
This house & tour is simply delightful. Very pretty, cool and heart-warming. I very much enjoy the combination of memories, art, colours and patterns and the overall vibe of it all together 🙂
Max home is unique. Many thing's will start a conversation. A story and character only matters to me. I enjoyed listening to his stories about the sentimental thing's. Thanks for sharing 😊
Love Max and absolutely love is curious and unique home , love his individuality and use of colour.💐👍🌟🦋
What a treasure trove of a house, I would love to go around and look at all the things x
I absolutely love his kitchen,the whole house is fabulous yet cosy. I'm wanting a dinner invite.
Utterly original and delightful!
I love the home, the decor is marvelous and Max is awesome! ❤
Absolutely love the colour story!!
How can this apartment be so beautiful and cozy at the same time? I would live there and really feel comfortable. A tiny room is a dream!
This home is excellent. Thank you for sharing it.
Love the quirkiness of the whole place. I especially love the drawing room with its dark pumpkin color and little art pieces, pottery, glassware and other stuff. Really love it. Love the sage living room and the candles. I think that nympho auntie should have her own frame and place on the wall. Love the art/rug on the staircase. Nice to look at instead of the usual wood. I like the orange color in your bedroom, and patterns on the wall but not I am not a fan of your comforter which looks like one of the many I've seen in my college dorm. Other than that, your home was really lovely and thank you so much for sharing it. You should consider a big orange or green comforter with patterns on it or just all white comforter with throw pillows.
I'm in love with the stairs in that abstract carpet! 😍
What a gorgeous human with a fascinating home. Great haircut as well.
Absolutely love your house. It looks so cosy and lots of points of interest.
Really like t he lovely home which Max has created. Thank you for a privileged peep.
The grey fluffy cat!! Charming home. Love the carpet.
Eclectic. Love it. Loads of personality.
Love love love the dining room and the stair runner/hall area. Very artistic, thank you for the tour!
The green room is the bomb. I have the same color in my pool room. Fabulous home❤️
Yes, this amazing color is in my library too and after 7 yes still delights me. It’s also Virginia Wolf’s drawing room color very 1920’s. Max is the best💚
@@miriamalonso3959 What is the paint color? I've been looking for a color like this!
What's the name of the paint color you used in your home? I am seeking this cozy green color for my home.
Loved your place and style…and you are just so FABULOUS!
Brilliant! So mirthful!
I love seeing houses that are in tune with the essence of their owners. This house feels very human to me (in the best sense🤓), much like it’s owner.
Thanks, Max. I enjoyed it very much. By the way, you share the name of my dearly departed Scottie/Westie cross. We sure do miss them when they leave us, don't we? Your home is more unique than many of these videos and held my interest throughout. Best wishes. Margaret
❤❤❤ and the Oscar Wilde pot!!!! 😍
Haha!!! 😹What an absolute character he is… Such fun! Interesting home…☺️
What a lovely home and such a charming personality. Take care and have a fabulous New Year!!! DA (Vancouver - the Paris of Southwest Washington State).

The tonality of this home is incredible
The paint colors, OMG!
Wow lots of art!
One of the best interior design
Wonderful! I need a rug like that stair runner!
Thank god someone not afraid to say 'queer'.
What a lovely personality
Love this house. Max, please tell us the name of the pale orange color on the first floor walls - if it's not a trade secret. Love the coziness of it all,
Super cool cozy and fun home 👍👏❤️😊
