A Victorian House in East London Reinterprets French Style Through Rose-Colored Glasses

"Adding these curves gives an impression of sophistication, particularly when paired with the mirrors we bought from Paris. The living room walls, painted in pale pink and red with bronze highlights, are also adorned with intriguing details, mirrors, and antique pendant lights, creating a refined aesthetic that balances the home's narrow structure."

"We love latticework and Greek motifs, and here we matched the fabric used for the window treatment and the wallpaper. In the principal bedroom, most of the work involved updating the decor, starting with a custom bed with a fringe, curtains, and a chandelier to accentuate the space."

"The designers also added a large rug, pillows, and other textiles—but it was the lamps and the artwork that really give the room its character. The designers also upgraded the closets with an unexpected artistic touch—they added motifs by artist Emma Stevenson, who also painted details on the bathroom ceiling."

Designers renovated a deep, narrow Victorian house by incorporating soft curves through archways and architectural elements to create sophistication and visual flow. Parisian mirrors and pale pink walls with bronze highlights define the ground floor, while the dining room and kitchen merge in classic Victorian style. Upstairs, the principal bedroom received custom furnishings including a fringed bed, chandelier, and layered textiles. Latticework and Greek motifs appear in the powder room through coordinated fabric and wallpaper. Artistic details by Emma Stevenson enhance closets and bathroom ceilings, while carefully selected lamps and artwork provide character throughout the residence.
