At the end of a peaceful row of North London terraces, this semi-detached home—with a south-easterly facing garden and sweeping views of a nearby green park—underwent a transformative loft conversion. The result: a light-filled, characterful space for a family of four that balances practicality with playful sophistication.

The brief was to create more privacy, introduce natural colour and texture, and maximise every inch of space—without sacrificing openness. Spanning five rooms, two shower rooms and a bathroom, the renovation delivers a bespoke interior that feels both effortless and considered.

In the loft, walls, ceilings and woodwork are painted in one continuous shade, dissolving boundaries and softening the architecture. “Especially in the loft, this treatment removes visual heaviness,” says Tatiana, the designer. “It makes the space feel calm and cocoon-like.”

A slatted timber screen—designed with a local carpenter—wraps a small landing into a peaceful reading nook. It works both as a safety rail and a room divider, adding rhythm and a sense of retreat. “Imagine sitting here, coffee in hand, overlooking the trees with a good book—it feels like a moment of stillness in a busy family home.”

Throughout, discreet accents of deep terracotta, forest green, and watery blue echo the surrounding nature, bringing warmth and personality. “I’m not afraid of colourful furniture,” Tatiana says. “It brings depth, energy and a bit of joyful surprise.”

One of the bathrooms explores a more neutral palette, but texture takes centre stage. Limestone tiles, porcelain flooring, and kit-kat mosaic niches sit alongside decorative plastered walls and bespoke storage, continuing the organic theme. Brushed steel taps introduce a gentle sheen, while layered lighting offers a spa-like calm.

Lighting plays a quiet but powerful role across the home, setting different moods from dawn to dusk. “There’s something incredibly soothing about stepping into a soft-lit shower—it gives you the feeling of a spa in your own home.”

Bespoke joinery keeps each room tidy yet full of charm, while a carefully balanced mix of colour, texture and light gives the home a serene, expressive identity.

As the homeowner shares:

“Tatiana is a brilliant interior designer, and so much more. Renovating a house is a very stressful experience, but she made the process so much easier. Incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and full of inventive ideas. I highly recommend Tatiana.”

The project is a contemporary detached house. It was with standard grey walls, grey kitchens, and lighting scenarios.

The clients wanted to infuse the space with individuality and colour became the most significant tool to bring their ideas to life. In addition, we incorporated some of the client's existing furniture into the project.

The final result of the redecoration was a soft and feminine open-plan kitchen with a seating area featuring a flourish pattern and pinkish walls, and a deep blue, masculine lounge room. The hallway serves as a transition between the two spaces, leading to a spacious upper level with bedrooms.

In a lively North London family home, a cold, north-facing bedroom with an awkward layout—including six identical internal doors—was transformed into a peaceful, joy-filled retreat. The brief from the clients was clear: no standard white-and-grey scheme, and nothing off-the-shelf. They wanted a space that felt elegant, cosy, and truly personal—something that would offer calm at the end of a long working day.

Designer Tatiana responded with warmth and imagination. Soft cream tones on the walls and ceiling envelop the room, while terracotta accents on the coving and skirting add vibrancy. A stunning mural wallpaper inspired the palette, drawing the garden indoors and setting the tone for the space. Textured furnishings, brass detailing, and layered lighting create a dynamic yet cocooning atmosphere.

To address the six-door dilemma—where previous owners had used full-sized doors for built-in wardrobes—Tatiana redesigned the joinery with slim, discreet doors painted to match the walls, helping the room feel smoother and more unified. A small but impactful change: new bi-folding wardrobe doors resolved daily frustration with clashing door swings, improving everyday use and flow.

The en-suite was also reimagined. Outdated finishes and poor storage were replaced with a wider vanity, elegant mirror, and built-in cabinetry that blends into the space. Herringbone mosaic tiles add personality, while dark wood and green tones link the bathroom back to the bedroom’s nature-inspired theme.

The result is a calm, confident space full of quiet luxury. As the clients shared:

“Tatiana’s design was thoughtful, elegant, and full of detail. She made the whole renovation process smooth and stress-free—we couldn’t be happier.”
