A Pastel-Colored Family Home Brings Playful Design to Kentish Town

Set on one of Kentish Town’s most beloved streets, where rows of colorful pastel facades lend a cheerful character to the neighborhood, this corner house immediately captures attention.

Its soft mauve exterior is framed by cream-painted sash windows, while a mint-green front door offers a playful introduction to the thoughtfully designed and colorful interiors beyond.

Its five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an extended kitchen that opens onto a small garden makes this pastel-colored house a perfect home for a family in the city of London.

We’re starting the tour at the heart of the home: a beautiful, extended kitchen and dining space with large skylights, glass doors opening toward a small garden, and mint-green accents.

Pale pink shaker cabinetry is paired with marble countertops and antique-brass fittings, creating a space that feels both elegant and playful.

Mint green French doors open directly onto the outdoor terrace, seamlessly connecting inside and out.

The established garden has an almost secret garden feel. Mature planting softens the boundaries, with clematis, jasmine, and evergreen shrubs providing year-round interest, while a climbing rose adors the sun-drenched south-facing wall.

Built-in seating creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Banquette seating makes efficient use of the footprint and the striped cushions add a playfulness to the space, especially in combination with the checkerboard wooden floor.

Large skylights draws sunlight deep into the room, while the blinds keep the room cool and add a softer natural light flow.

The rustic wooden table surrounded by benches becomes the natural gathering spot during the day. The perfect spot for morning breakfast, homework, and dinner nights.

The space between the kitchen and the hall is currently used as a combined home office and music room with built-in cabinets adding storage. Also notice the mint-green staircase, adding a nice color accent.

The gorgeous vintage rattan desk adds a boho vibe to the space. You can buy something similar on Etsy.

The open doorways between the ground floor spaces creates nice sightlines and let natural light flow seamlessly through the plan.

The entry hall is fitted between the home office and the front living room. It is lined with bespoke joinery in a pastel blue shade and a built-in bench with striped cushions that we also saw in the kitchen.

At the front of the house, a beautifully curved living room is filled with warmth and personality. Oak parquet flooring stretches underfoot, while a log burner anchors the space.

Built-in bookcases, painted in a palette of pastel shades bring character to one wall. The storage ottoman is designed by Cath Kidston.

Delicate café curtains allow natural light to filter while preserving privacy.

The pastel pink hue on the ceiling adds a subtle color accent to the space.

The ground floor guest toilet is decorated with tongue-and-groove paneling topped with the “Birds and Bees” wallpaper by Molly Mahon.

Occupying the space above the living room, the principal bedroom suite is spacious and serene with bespoke plywood wardrobes and a soothing green color on the walls.

Blue-and-white stripes are a recurring element in this home, this time in the form of a headboard.

The en-suite bathroom is a pastel dream with pink tongue-and-groove paneling, blue and white checkered floor and showe tilework, and a pastel blue bathroom cabinet.

The second bedroom on this floor is an even bolder colored space with a bright pink ceiling, a yellow window frame, and pastel-blue joinery.

The multi-colored bathroom puts a smile on your face, including colorful tilework and pastel blue fittings.

The top floor landing is open to the ridge, featuring skylights flooding the space with light and exposed beams showing the building’s history. The area is fitted with colorful wardrobes, adding plenty of storage space.

The top floor houses two spacious bedrooms with rustic white-washed floorboards and attic spaces with exposed brick walls.

The two bedrooms share a family bathroom with green tongue-and-groove paneling, checkered floor tiles, a freestanding bath, and a separate shower.

Color must be added even in the most unusual spaces, as you can see here with the mint-green bathroom fittings.

Both bedrooms on this floor feature colorful built-in wardrobes.

The house is listed for £1,800,000 at Aucoot.
