Stylish Monochrome Interiors in an Early 20th Century House

An early 20th-century house on the edge of Primrose Hill has been carefully restored by interior architect Franses Design. Her attention to detail and beautiful design style have turned this home into a wonderful light and calm space.

The house is mostly hidden from the street behind a tall brick wall inset with gate piers and wooden gates. The 128 square meter / 1379 sq ft house is divided over three floors and features a private courtyard garden at the front of the house and a large terrace on the first floor.

The entire home is decorated in a monochrome color palette of whites, grays, and blacks. Very subtle color accents have been added through a light blue armchair or a green carpet on the staircase. The result is a wonderful stylish home that’s connected to the outdoors on two levels.

You enter the home on the garden side and you can see the hallway in the center. A glass door, designed to match the exterior metal-framed fenestration, opens to the open-plan living space.

The ground floor room is divided between a sitting area on one side and the kitchen and dining area on the other side. The sitting room has a remote-operated gas fire from Neville Stevens.

The seven-seater integrated dining table, specially created by Bulthaup for the space and to compliment the kitchen cabinetry, is a natural divider between the seating area and the kitchen.

The matt-white kitchen is designed by Bulthaup and all the appliances have been hidden to create a sleek and uncluttered space.
