Double Vision

DINING ROOM

This elliptical-shaped table maximises space and can seat up to 14 people. Chilworth extendable table and Barnsbury vitrine, price on request, both Ali Robinson at Robinson van Noort. Beetle velvet dining chairs in Navy and Grey, £868 each, Gubi at The Conran Shop

SITTING ROOM

The wallpaper was the starting point for this scheme and looks different from every angle, depending on the light. Kamiko Sisal wallpaper, £448 for 6m roll, Schumacher at Turnell & Gigon. Bespoke rug designed by Robinson Van Noort and made by Roger Oates

Miranda Davies and her husband were living in a Victorian townhouse in southwest London when the house next door came up for sale. The couple debated whether or not to buy the property. ‘We knew that if we didn’t, someone else would develop it so we decided to go for it,’ says Miranda. ‘We rented it out for 10 years while we raised the money to combine the two properties to create a single home for our growing family of four children and numerous pets.’

The couple envisaged a dramatic makeover for both houses and enlisted husband-and-wife architecture and design team Robinson van Noort to help realise their vision. ‘With such a radical overhaul in mind, it was imperative to work with people we really trusted,’ says Miranda. ‘I’d seen Ali and Carolyn’s work in a friend’s property and loved it, and when I met them we got along immediately and felt we could work well together.’
