WHERE

Stockwell, London

Artist Maude Smith’s Victorian terraced home of just six years is a far cry from the modernity of its surroundings in Stockwell, south east London. More reminiscent of an established country pile, it is brimming with nature’s influence, time-worn furniture, chintz, curious collections and a naive creativity that places it more accurately in a fairytale than a sprawling city. Heavily influenced by the home of Vanessa Bell and the Bloomsbury Group, Charleston near Lewes in Sussex – which exudes freedom of expression – the house, with its beautifully illustrated features, is a testament to artistic passion.
