We injected this North London home with colour and style to reflect the creative personalities of the owners. Inspired by the Edwardian love of bold interiors, the palette is a warm embrace of teals, dark greens, chocolates and soft pinks, with vibrant furniture and an eclectic collection of art.

The depth of the pigments in the paints used means the hues shift as the light changes, making the home incredibly rich and vibrant. Each room has its own clearly defined style and function, but they are linked through a consistent colour palette, and with the carefully chosen large pieces to the small details, together they make a cohesive style statement.
