Be inspired by this arty Victorian terrace home

The living room is a relaxed, open space where the owners can chill out. The cherry-red sofa adds an element of bold colour to the neutral scheme.

The sofa is a bespoke piece made by Sofa Workshop, and the wall paint is from Fired Earth

The custom-built kitchen is a delicious, light-filled space. Freestanding pieces help keep the mood relaxed and welcoming. A stainless steel workbench, Siemens fridge and a range cooker work well alongside two Butler sinks.

This clean-lined room, painted in white and muted hues gives the house a contemporary mood, yet the vintage finds add personality and warmth.

For a similar wooden cabinet, try The Cotswold Company. The picture is a Peter Blake original.

The dining room floor is treated with OS coloured floor wax, available from Broadleaf Timber. Mismatched chairs add a quirky element to the room.

The letters came from salvage shop, Casa.

The walls are painted white to reflect as much light as possible (aided by the almost double-height windows or French doors on each landing). Up the stairwell are black-framed photos and junk-shop mirrors.

For similar vintage mirrors, try Harrison & Gil.

A clean, functional space that can cope with the demands of family life. The simple shape of the sanitaryware is enhanced by a pale walnut-veener bath panel and sink pedestal.

The wall paint is from Farrow & Ball.

The decorative stained-oak bed is the focal point of this neutral bedroom. Paper lanterns strung around the headboard add some soft colour, and introduce a little femininity.

For similar paper lanterns, try Homebase. The Godzilla lamp is from SKK.

An all-white backdrop gives this room a simple, minimal feel while creating the impression of space. Built-in shelving maximises the available space.

For plain cream curtains, try IKEA.
