Jamie didn't want a conventional entrance hall, but also didn't like the idea of walking straight into an open room. To make best use of the space, the lobby area was transformed into a home office.

Kitchen | Jamie Theakston’s quirky London home
In the basement, 3 rooms were knocked through and the floor was lowered by digging down several feet. A standard concrete floor was impractical.
The table and chairs in the kitchen were bought from Andrew Nebbett Antiques.

Bedroom | Jamie Theakston’s quirky London home
The panelled effect in the bedroom was inspired by an advert for a furniture company. Frames were made from wooden beading and glued onto the walls. The result is soothing and luxurious.
The rug is from The Rug Company. The shutters are from The New England Shutter Company. Try Sarah Potter for a bureau.
