Color and Wallpaper in a Renovated Victorian Family Home in London

Located on a tree-lined street in the heart of Primrose Hill in London, this three-bedroom family home combines elegant Victorian features with a bold color palette and contemporary luxury.

Arranged over four floors, the house has been carefully renovated by its current owners, retaining much of the original character while adding wallpapers, custom joinery, and a range of colors from yellow to pink.

Three-meter-high ceilings, restored sash windows, ornate cornicing, the original curved staircase, and marble fireplaces give the interiors historic character, while the underfloor heating, bespoke joinery, and the color palette evoke a 21st-century atmosphere.

The ground floor features an elegant double reception room with sash windows on either side, flooding the space with natural light.

The front room features William Morris’ “Willow Bough” wallpaper paired with the original marble fireplace, a floral sofa (Sophie Conran’s “Coco” sofa with GP & J Baker’s Magnolia fabric), and a cozy yellow armchair.

The back room is a cozy home library/television room with bespoke joinery painted in a dusty blue shade, pink walls, and a blue patterned sofa and armchair.

The large sash window overlooks the back garden.

The smallest room on this floor is a versatile home office with built-in joinery and windows in two directions overlooking the garden.

The entry hall is painted in a warm yellow hue, which makes the original white-painted joinery stand out beautifully. A narrow marble-topped side table adds a place for keys and decor.

The lower ground floor is designed as an open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is located at the back of the plan, with a window facing the garden.

The Shaker-style cabinets are painted in a vibrant yellow shade, paired with a butler sink, brass fittings from Perrin & Rowe, and antique Delft tiles behind the Rangemaster cooker.

A green-painted wide opening leads you into the spacious dining room with bespoke banquette seating and vibrant blue chairs.

The entire room is wrapped in the Lucky Leaf wallpaper designed by Kate Hawkins.

The laundry room features reclaimed terracotta tiles and tongue-and-groove paneling painted in a soft butter-yellow hue.

The guest toilet is decorated in a terracotta shade, featuring a classic Thomas Crapper sink with brass fittings.

The first floor is fully decorated as the master suite. The front bedroom spans the full width of the home, with two huge windows overlooking the street.

The room is painted in a light pink hue, which continues into the en-suite bathroom.

The en-suite bathroom is a luxurious retreat with a cast-iron roll-top bath in front of the window overlooking the garden, a bespoke marble and glass shower, and a Drummonds basin.

The second floor houses two more bedrooms and a shower room. The largest room is painted in a soothing blue shade.

The small shower room features half-high white tilework, patterned wallpaper, and marble hexagon floor tiles.

The smallest bedroom is a charming children’s room featuring the Herbarium Wildflower Wallpaper by Tess Newall and a cozy bed niche with green-painted tongue-and-groove paneling, plus built-in shelves and drawers.

The back garden features Yorkstone paving and is surrounded by mature planting for a private feeling.

The house is listed for £3,000,000 at Rightmove.
