Notting Hill Victorian Home
Art-led interiors · FF&E curation & placement · Material & colour studies · Elevation collages & plan options · Procurement shortlists · Creative direction — in collaboration with The Desert Rose London (art consultancy by Zeynep Ugan)
Challange
Honour the period architecture while introducing new FF&E and art; balance pattern, colour and texture so the space feels characterful yet calm; create two clear routes for client decision-making without losing a coherent narrative.
approach
Co-developed the scheme with The Desert Rose London, letting artworks and textiles set the palette and proportion.
Built optioned elevations (Living & Bedroom) to test composition, lighting, and pattern density.
Wove together oak, cane, velvet, bouclé and lacquer to bridge classical detailing with soft modern forms.
Used window treatments, symmetry and planting to hold the rooms’ rhythm and sight-lines.
A layered Victorian home where art leads the language—heritage bones, contemporary tactility, and rooms composed like galleries you can live in.
