Take a tour around a three-storey Victorian semi
A formerly run-down house has been transformed into a light, bright and stylish family home. See inside some of the most beautiful homes with Livingetc and for even more inspiration, visit housetohome.co.uk
Bi-folding doors on an extension at the back of the house mean the kitchen-diner can become part of the outside space in warm weather. The doors are from Sun Paradise.
1/8 Open kitchen
2/8 Lounge area
The Palm Springs-esque lounge is a pretty contrast to the dark hues in the main living room. The pink linen is from The Cloth Shop. For a similar table, go to Supatra.
3/8 Kitchen
The kitchen has a solid, professional feel. For similar units, go to Cavendish Equipment. The range cooker is by Steel Cuisine.
4/8 Dining area
Painted second-hand furniture softens the sleek kitchen and concrete flooring. The floor was installed by White & Reid. For a similar dresser, go to New England Lifestyle.
5/8 Hallway
Near black is an elegant yet practical choice for a busy hallway. The paint is Off-Black by Farrow & Ball, and the stair runner is from Crucial Trading.
6/8 Living room
Carefully chosen reproduction mouldings returned the living room to its former glory. The sofa is from The Conran Shop. The lamp is Day Birger et Mikkelsen. The mirror is from Oliver Bonas.
7/8 Bedroom
The main bedroom is above the extension and was planned to make the most of the view, with its low, large, window. The throw and cushions are from Designers Guild and the sheepskin is from Graham & Green.
