A Cozy Victorian Home Painted in Moody Blue and Gray Tones

In the Bethnal Green’s Victoria Park Conservation Area in London stands this beautiful Victorian house with two bedrooms. The house was sensitively restored by its current owners, adding a color palette of moody gray and blue hues, highlighting the pretty period features.

Original features like patinated floorboards, timber box paneling, molded cornices, and bullseye fireplace surrounds have been preserved and complemented with a new deVOL kitchen that pairs beautifully with the historic architecture.
