Houzz Tour: Victorian family home Infused with color and character - 'It is a big beautiful house, even if it looked like an empty barn when I saw him, "recalls designer Fiona Andrews, reflecting the sentiment of the owners of this amazing property when they first moved in a few years ago, feeling a little overwhelmed. "It is much larger than their previous home, so they needed help with the layout and turn it into a comfortable family home with personality.
The house is located on four floors and the owners adopted a gradual approach to the renovation, living in the property they restore a floor at a time over a two year period. With the help of the manufacturer Pascal Huser, the first task of Fiona was to make a number of structural adjustments to the layout to improve the flow between parts, before creating a relaxed yet glamorous interior, crossed lightning bright colors. "Homeowners naturally gravitate towards cream and brown interiors, which can be beautiful, but this house needs some color," says Fiona. "As construction continued they grew in confidence and, therefore, a bit like home, their style has evolved over time.
