ALL Design Studio, led by Amanda Lyon, refurbished and extended the ground floor of this Edwardian family home in Honor Oak, London. The brief centred on creating a sociable kitchen designed for entertaining, with a nod to commercial kitchens to suit the clients’ love of cooking. A rich tonal palette of crimson, burgundy, and berry adds warmth, contrasting beautifully with a striking stainless steel island.

A Victorian family home

Posted on Thu, 12 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Set within a crescent of grand Victorian villas, this five-bedroom London home has been in the same family for generations. Sims Hilditch transformed the interiors for a young family, introducing colour, pattern, and softness while preserving its historic charm. Existing furniture was refreshed, original joinery restored, and new architectural flow created. Highlights include a rhubarb-red kitchen island, reupholstered heirloom pieces, layered patterns, and a reconfigured principal suite. Throughout, playful yet elegant touches bring warmth and character, blending tradition with a relaxed, modern sensibility.
