Take a tour around a Victorian house
Like to see inside other people's house? Housetohome is on hand to guide your through real people's homes, so you can get ideas and inspiration from a range of decorating schemes to suit your style
This light-filled modern home, with masses of windows to make the most of natural sunlight in its high-ceilinged rooms, enjoys a lovely inside-outside living area. This raised terrace - which leads down to the paved garden - is ideal for al fresco dining in summer months.
1/6 Garden terrace
2/6 Light-filled kitchen
Long runs of pale-wood fronted units and cool decor make this bright kitchen, which overlooks the garden, a lovely place to cook. As it's open-plan, it's also ideal for socialising with guests.
3/6 Minimal Victorian living room
Low-level lounging makes for a relaxed family living room. A dark, tailored sofa hides family wear and tear well, while a bright artwork adds colour to make a striking focal point.
4/6 Cool Victorian bedroom
Nothing says peaceful haven quite like this (almost) all-white bedroom. There's a place for everything, with a huge antique wardrobe to hide away clothes, and a structured sofa in the double bay window, which is the perfect place to escape the kids with a book!
5/6 Quirky nursery
Mid-century modern furniture, such as this RAR rocker, sits comfortably with tongue-in-cheek artworks in this quirky nursery. Clearly this child will be taught the meaning of style from an early age.
6/6 Neutal bathroom
While it functions well as a family bathroom, the floor-to-ceiling gloss, glass, and cream sheens make this space utterly spa chic.
