Be inspired by a glamorous five-storey Victorian home in north London

A five-storey, late Victorian house in north London with a den and cloakroom on the lower-ground floor, and a living room and open-plan kitchen-dining space on the ground floor. The first floor has a master suite and study. The second floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom, and the top floor houses a bathroom and a children's den under the eaves.

1/8 Hallway

Encaustic flooring and a Victorian-style radiator create a period feel in this contemporary home.

2/8 Living room

A blown up reproduction of a 16th-century painting is the focal point of the living room. The dusty pink wall colour is a brave and daring choice, but works well to provide a tranquil area to wind down. A grey geometric rug adds depth and dimension to the room.

3/8 Steps

A combination of bright modernity with opulent flourishes creates a fresh, fashionable mood. The steps double as shelving for favourite books, adding colour as well as being a practical storage solution.

5/8 Den

The walnut radiator cover, with a pop of tomato red makes it strong statement in this cosy dimly light room - it disguises the radiator, turning something functional into something stylish.
