Step inside this edgy Victorian home

The owner extended the property in 2007, adding a conservatory across two storeys at the back and restoring all the original features including the cornicing and fireplace in the living room.

The skull painting is by Damien Hirst. The embellished antlers are from Tann-Rokka. Try thefireplacegallery.co.uk for a fire surround like this.

The owner’s modern style mixes feminine sensibility with unexpected dashes of drama, such as these skulls displayed underneath a bell jar.

The Saarinen lamp came from Alfie’s Antiques Market. For similar decorative skulls try gothic-gifts.com

In the kitchen the owner wanted a sense of contemporary chic but with a simple, relaxed feel.

The bold-red fridge is by Smeg. For a similar concrete floor try White & Reid. For bright red chairs, try The Conran Shop.

Patchword bedlinen teamed with a modern print on the wall, gives the bedroom a feminine, vintage feel. 

The bed and upholstered headboard are from Savior Beds, and the quilt is from Erica Tanov. The side tables are from Century.

The photograph of the nudes, which sits on top of the mantelpiece, is by Helmut Newton. The owner customised a vintage cabinet with blackboard paint.

The walls are painted in Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball
