John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon are the dynamic duo behind the interior design firm Madcap Cottage. Known for their whimsical use of color and pattern, the Madcap gents – along with their pound-rescue posse, Jasper, Weenie, and Amy Petunia – scour the world for eclectic finds that capture their unique and gimlet-eyed viewpoint. Imagine a British country house that pairs Granny’s antiques and a spirited dash of Chinoiserie chic with a soupçon of Morocco-meets-India élan. Shake, stir, pour.
Standout Madcap Cottage interiors include a jewel-hued loft in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood; a color-rich, playful beach house in Southampton, New York; a sophisticated 1920s-era bungalow in Des Moines, Iowa; a historic shotgun-style cottage in New Orleans’ French Quarter; and a Grade II-listed former mill on the outskirts of London.
