LINNELL HOUSE

HAMPSTEAD, LONDON | WHOLE HOUSE TURNKEY

We were entrusted with the internal renovation of this listed Arts & Crafts home, tucked away in the leafy suburbs of Hampstead. While the exterior is unmistakably country in feel, the client was clear from the outset that they wanted the interiors to feel contemporary and considered, rather than overtly traditional.

The brief was to create a family home with charm and character that would stand the test of time, centred around timeless pieces the family could grow with rather than grow out of. As a result, the house has a calm, muted and pared-back aesthetic. A soft palette of creams, browns, blush pinks and gentle greens creates a consistent thread from room to room, while chevron tiles introduce a quiet modernity and a sense of ease underfoot.

References such as Heckfield Place informed the balance between refinement and warmth, with carefully chosen, brighter artworks layered throughout to lift the scheme and bring moments of personality. Subtle nods to our client’s background in classics are woven into the details - most notably in the pantry, where the ‘A Muddle of Jugs’ wallpaper adds a playful yet thoughtful touch.

BACK TO PORTFOLIO

Amy was fantastic to work with and took a lot of the stress out of our renovation, from the big decisions to the many, many small ones. She fully understood the brief, which involved staying strictly within the confines of our listed building approvals, meaning some tricky spaces which called for problem solving and collaboration with our architect and builders. We wanted to be very involved, and Amy was brilliant at steering us towards and away from ideas as needed, transforming our vague sense of what we wanted into beautiful and practical spaces for our young family, which feel our own whilst being far more beautiful than we could have imagined.
