A Two-Tone Pink Living Room in a Victorian London House
This colorful semi-detached Victorian house is located minutes away from Mountsfield Park in London. The 19th-century home features beautiful period elements, three bedrooms, and a spacious kitchen with a small bay window.
The owner used a nice palette of green and pink tones to decorate the house. Especially, the living room is a wonderful example of the use of color. The room is painted in two shades of pink, with the ceiling and upper part of the walls painted in a darker shade to make the room feel cozier.
The double reception room features a large, traditional bay window with wooden shutters and beautiful cornicing on the walls and ceiling.
The owners used two shades of pink from Lick to decorate the room. The lower half of the walls is painted in a dusty, light pink shade, while the upper half and ceiling are a darker shade, creating a bold and cozy ambiance.
The room also features the original wooden floorboards, stained in a deep walnut shade. The room is centered around a wood burner, adding a cozy vibe and warmth to the room in the evening.
Two smaller rooms have been opened up to create one big living space with space for a dining table at the back of the room.
The kitchen is a spacious and bright space with a bay window featuring shutters that face east.
The original timber floorboards have been restored and paired with a contemporary white kitchen and a charming home bar corner filled with plants.
The open layout ensures there is also space for a utility corner by the back door.
The master bedroom lies at the front of the plan, featuring a triple bank of windows overlooking the Victorian street.
Layers of old wallpaper have been removed, exposing the plaster with a light-touch finish on the walls. The skirting has been painted in a pink hue, matching the color palette of the living room.
There are two more double bedrooms. One bedroom, painted in a hay shade, is used as a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a herringbone carpet. The other room, a combined guest room and study, is drenched in a forest green shade.
The small bathroom is painted in a terracotta pink shade paired with white tiles and a combined shower and bath.
The house is listed for £825,000 at Inigo.
