Here’s how this Victorian house was transformed into a contemporary London townhouse

Linda Levene, Design Director of London-based LLI Design, conceptualized the interiors of a five-storey townhouse in Highgate, North London. Through reconfiguration and clever use of color, lighting and bespoke millwork, the home has been completely transformed from a traditional Victorian townhouse into a contemporary family living space. The newly remodeled home stays true to its Victorian bones, but at the same time offers modern living elements such as an open plan, multi-functional spaces, large windows and indoor-outdoor living.

The sofa is from sofa.com, framed by wallpaper from Tektura. The rug is from Rockett St George, the side tables from Maisons du Monde, the coffee table is from Loaf, the floor lamp is from BlueSuntree.

The dining table is from Heal’s with chairs from Made. The pendant light is from Go Modern. A bespoke drinks cellar is placed next to the fireplace.

“A major design issue, which needed to be addressed in the overall scheme, was how to make the property visually larger laterally. the dynamic and flow of the spaces would be felt. The direction taken throughout was eclectic with mid-century, contemporary, industrial and traditional style elements all coming together,” says Levene, whose company won a United Kingdom Property Award in the Residential Interior Private Residence London category for this project.
