Step inside a calm Edwardian terraced home in north London

The pink was an unconscious choice – once it was finishd the owners realised it matched their antique linens. The owners have used brilliant tricks to visually widen their narrow house, including removing the doors to the sitting room and installing full-height mirrors in the alcoves, smoked for a muted reflection.

The paint is from Farrow & Ball. The pendant and wall lights are from CTO Lighting, and the lamps are from Jonathan Adler.

The sitting room, slightly apart from the other rooms on this floor, is kept as a peaceful, grown-up space. The side tables are spray-painted junk shop finds.

The sofa is from SCP. The Solid Wood Flooring Company does walnut flooring.

The kitchen has a minimal, clean look. The fitted units are made from spray-painted MDF – designed to take up as little space as possible. The splashback is simply wood, spray-painted to a glossy finish.

The worktop was made by Cavendish Equipment. The chandelier is by Oriel Harwood. For stools in this style, visit Whetstone Oak.

The owners had the windows widened to fill the whole wall. There’s also lighting behind the frosted glass for a flattering glow at night. The cupboards not only stash all bathroom paraphernalia, they hide a music system and an extractor fan.

The taps are Vola. For pebble tiles, try B&Q.

The owners have used subtle pattern – swirls and geometrics – for an elegant space for guests.

For a similar headboard, try The Headboard Workshop. Find white ribbed ceramic table lamps at Talisman.

The neutral colour scheme keeps the room feeling peaceful and serene. The balcony provides a lovely leafy view of the street.

The mirror is from John Jones. The table is from B&B Italia and the bed and chair are from SCP.
