An end-of-terrace Victorian house in north London. The lower-ground floor has an open-plan kitchen-diner, a spare bedroom and a shower room.

2/8 Living room
The salvaged wooden flooring gives this living room a relaxed feel, while the white walls make the room appear light and airy.
For similar sofas, go to Nanadobbie. The table is from The Conran Shop.
3/8 Seating area
At the back of the house, further sitting space and an office nook open up the living room, all flooded with light from the beautiful, original windows.
The sofa is from Habitat. The chandelier is from BHS.
4/8 Home office
A useful home office has been created in the nook of the sitting room, overlooking the spiral staircase. The art is a limited-edition print of Edvard Munch's Madonna. The antlers add a Scandinavian touch.

Find antlers at Pedlars. The Conran Shop sells the Tulip chair by Eero Saarinen for Knoll.
5/8 Dining space
The dining area has a French chateau style, enhanced by the intricately designed armoire. Mismatched crockery add to the character and rawness the owners have aimed to create.
The armoire is from Aria. The giant love heart is from In My Room, and the colourful postcards are from Darling Clementine.
6/8 Kitchen
The house is quite narrow and, in the kitchen, a supporting column restricts the space further. So the owners made a feature of it with a wraparound unit. The tiles are inspired by the metros in Paris and New York.
The white worktop is Corian. The clock is from After Noah. Find similar wall tiles at B&Q.
7/8 Bedroom
The bedroom, inspired by Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette gives the room a decadent, French twist. The rustic theme is continued with the wooden flooring which features throughout the house.
Find a similar bed at The French Bedroom Company. For a similar throw, go to Northlight.
8/8 Bathroom
The bathroom has a feminine feel with feather boas and a sheepskin rug. The roll-top bath screams vintage, while the rustic wooden flooring gives the room some character and rawness.
The bath and the mixer tap are from Aston Matthews. For a wicker chair, go to Planet Bazaar.
