Step inside Ben de Lisi’s south London home

The kitchen was designed by Ben himself, and was based on the idea of black and white stripes. Having the dining table next to the L-shaped kitchen allows for a sociable cooking and entertaining space.

Ben de Lisi’s kitchen design can be found at Abacus Direct.

Continuing the theme from the kitchen into the adjoining dining room, but with added shots of hot red, the sleek lines of the table and chairs create a light and modern space. Ceiling high glass doors lead onto the garden, making the most of the natural light.

The dining table and Wishbone chairs were from Twentytwentyone.

Bespoke storage shelves have been cleverly used to divide the hallway from the living room. A floor-to-ceiling mirror, running the length of the hallway, brings light to the space and gives it the appearance of being double the size.

In a scheme dictated by white and wood, this artwork becomes the central focus. The bamboo stair rail adds a rustic touch, while the lack of a banister accentuates the feeling of simplicity here.

Although small, the main bedroom has real impact. Animal prints, textured bedlinen, black wallpaper and matching gloss accessories combine to give the feeling of luxury.

The bedlinen was made from Osborne & Little fabric.

Shadow boxes around the windows create drama and height in the main bedroom. The cabinet, which in matt black and pale wood becomes a feature in its own right, acts as a means to hide the TV.

Dwell sell a wide range of storage furniture.

The bathroom has five-star appeal, with slate tiles in varying sizes adding interest, and a wall and vanity unit in rich wood bringing warmth to the scheme. Splashes of red help to bring out the crimson shades in the other materials.
