A Contrasting Color Palette in a Renovated Terrace House

On a quiet residential street in Essex lies this charming three-bedroom terrace house with a color palette of dark gray, blue, and pink. The house has been thoroughly renovated, adding new elements like Bauwark plaster walls, reclaimed working fireplaces, and a new kitchen.

The house is decorated in a lovely contrasting color palette. Dark gray hues are paired with white and blush pink. The house showcases a lovely blend of old details and contemporary additions.

The Victorian character is visible in the living room. A wide tripartite bay window with shutters and a working reclaimed fireplace are paired with dark gray walls (Abigail Ahern’s ‘Madison Grey’) and a warm wooden floor.
