DOWN TO EARTH

Old meets new in a London townhouse, for a warm and inviting take on minimalism

Though the bones of this Victorian townhouse speak to its past, a modern renovation has brought it firmly into the here and now, with organic textures and an earthy colour palette. Here, natural jute, linen and rattan, seen on everything from rugs and armchairs to side tables, add depth and interest to the space. With the property’s plaster walls lending a sepia-toned hue, shades of mustard yellow slot in seamlessly, while graphic black, brass and leather pieces add a glamorous edge. But it’s not colour that makes the space, nor indeed is it print; instead, it’s the clever pairing of textures, styles and silhouettes that bring the look to life – a perfect homage to the property itself.
