Large stone fireplaces, wood-panelled walls, expansive windows that flood the space with light –it has them all.

Such considered architecture called for an equally unique scheme. In the sitting room, comfort is added in the form of plump sofas and soft furnishings, embroidered with floral motifs in spring colours of green and blush pink. These sugary shades are offset with more rustic pieces: a wooden coffee table, jute rug and, in the dining room, a large oak table. The icing on the cake is the addition of playful patterns; look out for a ticking stripe in the bedroom, block print-style walls and geometric designs elegantly askew on pleated lampshades.

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.
