When the current owners first bought this Portobello home, it had been split up into two flats, with a large extension on the back which obstructed the view from the dining room and lower bedroom. They worked to make it back into one home, reinstating the staircase, removing a bathroom, and restoring some of the original features including sash windows and coving.to help with the project.
“The same question was also asked of how to make the newer nineties extension work with the original Victorian home, and they hoped that a designer could help them to contrast and combine those two styles.” Downstairs, the extension was turned into a large bedroom suite for the couple, hidden through a secret door from the new utility room, while on the original side, an existing bedroom was split up to create a family bathroom and guest WC.
The question of how to treat the old and new parts of the house was solved largely through using different colour palettes. While most of the house is painted in an off-white, zesty, vibrant shades are introduced in parts of the extension. “We used Goblin by Little Green in the family bathroom to contrast with the amazing 41Zero42 tiles, and Green Eggs & Ham by Dulux in the vestibule into this room, as well as the large utility area.
