Refurbishment and decorating of this Victorian London townhouse for a lovely young family. We painted most surfaces, built in cabinetry (bookcases, linen closet, wardrobes, shelving), added lighting and upgraded hardware.

The client wanted a more formal living room that was still cosy for the family and watching TV, with an adjoining dining room, and a fun playroom in the loft space for their young children. The brief was warm colours for the living room with reds and autumnal shades in the scheme.

We balanced this out with a neutral and blue-green colour combination in the hallway, and a calming pale blue master bedroom warmed up with splashes of sunshine-yellow. We had fun with the little boy's rooms with a nautical scheme in one and a musical theme in the other. The playroom was a loft space that stood on it's own so we went super-playful with fun bright colours.
