A Designer’s Home

Brought to life through a fashionable foil of neutrals, this home is a study in creative functionality by way of artistic persuasions.

Nestled in a white stucco Victorian home on a popular garden square in Chelsea, Alina first approached the project by the careful allocation of layout—with a young son, intentional design was key. With a plan in place, Alina applied a subtle but strict colour scheme to blanket the space that would not overshadow the original period features—like the stunning mouldings that meander from room to room. Alina found influence from the opposing garden and ushered in a gentle cast of green hues met with vibrant prints to encourage movement and discovery from one space to another. The result is a collection of rooms fit for entertaining guests, interiors that welcome gathering and a home made for a young, playful family to grow.

LIVING + DINING ROOM

A playful take on the relationship between formal and informal living, Alina divided the two living spaces with cleverly placed sofas in contrasting textiles—custom made by de Le Cuona, one sofa dons a luxurious velvet and the other a casual linen. Lighting also serves as an anchor in the space through stunning fixtures that speak fluently to one another, from space to space.
