Be inspired by this colourful and contemporary south London home
A Victorian terraced house in south London. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen-diner and a separate living room. On the first floor, there’s a study/TV room/guest room, master bedroom with an en suite and a shower room. On the second floor, there’s a bedroom and bathroom, with another bedroom on the third floor.
The house feels eclectic and playful – a mélange of styles, colours and eras, where vintage finds mingle with upcycled family heirlooms and show-stopping wallpapers.

Dining room
This kitchen-diner is surprisingly child-friendly given the presence of design classics by Saarinen and Eames.

Kitchen area
In keeping with the pub/bar theme, the kitchen wallpaper is a digital print of the tin tiles used on the ceilings of American bars. Classic white hi-gloss units combine with industrial touches, such as the row of reclaimed pendant lights.

Kitchen
The first thing you notice when you enter this home is the abundance of light - thanks largely to the row of angled roof-lights that run the length of what was previously the side return. A major benefit of a side return extension is the valuable extra width gained for the kitchen. It also dramatically changes the feel of the room.

Bedroom
The picture above the bed gave the owner the inspiration for the décor. Motif cushions bring fun and vibrancy to this neutral scheme.

Home office
This room at the rear of the house has a wide range of uses. By day it's a work hub and in the evening it becomes the family's TV room.

Child’s room
The attic, which is flooded with light from three windows and a balcony, had already been converted into a nanny flat. The map and bright yellow bunk bed add interest to this boy's bedroom.
