HEART OF THE HOME, North London
“Monochromatic Mother Nature”
Based in North London, our client approached Nefarious with a clear and thoughtful vision for the ground floor of their Victorian home. Their strong sense of style and decisive input made the design process a true collaboration — they felt like an extension of the Nefarious team. The concept for the kitchen was inspired by the charm of a potting shed, bringing the outdoors in with a calming palette of green hues. A bespoke partition was introduced between the snug and the living room, offering both privacy and sound insulation. In the living room, a soothing blend of blues was layered with bold patterns to create a tranquil oasis that feels both vibrant and serene.
Below:The kitchen has a monochromatic feel with shades of nature throughout from the wall colour to the kitchen cabinetry.We also raw materials such as a hessian scalloped blind with red piping for that pop of colour. For cost saving we re-used existing furniture pieces and gave them a new lease of life by repainting and adding new ironmongery.
Above: We wanted the kitchen to fell connected to the dining space which was achieved by using the same colour palette yes giving the space a whole new look including brass ironmongery to the cabinetry, new counter-top/glass black splash and island curtain to add a playful pattern.
Below:This unused walk-through space has been transformed into a sweet reading nook, re-upholstering the family armchair and stool adds that feeling of nostalgia to the space whilst new modern pendant lighting brings the space into the 21st century. The new dividing wall has bespoke sliding doors designed by us with slightly rounded glass frames for a softer feel and classic architrave detailing to fit in with the rest of the home.
Above: From the forest to the lake our client was set on a blue living room and we loved the idea and so we painted the low level walls and existing joinery in a true chalky blue. Whilst bespoke window treatments and shutters add privacy and personality to the space.
