After renovating this beautiful Edwardian house, Lucinda Kellaway used her interior design know-how to create a family home that is packed with bespoke fittings, statement furniture, bold paint colours and even bolder design ideas.
WHY DID YOU BUY THE HOUSE?
‘We moved down from London to Hove in 2019, as we wanted to escape the city for seaside living. We bought our first house in the area but once Keaton was born and we added Peach to the mix, we quickly outgrew it. My husband spotted this property for sale and we loved the proportions of the rooms and the size of the garden. It had been a family home for 20 years and it needed a lot of TLC. As a young family, we didn’t know if we would have the time or money to take on all the projects we had in mind, but we couldn’t pass on this opportunity. We took a gamble, bought the house in April 2023, and immediately cracked on with four months of building works.’
