THE PROPERTY
A three-bedroom Edwardian terrace in Aldersbrook, east London
1 “Go bold for maximum impact”
‘We use this space for grown-up relaxing and listening to music, plus there’s a WFH desk in the bay window. I love the dark shade of blue – it feels cosy and calm. When we moved in, the original fireplace had been replaced with an ugly 1970s gas fire, so when I saw a huge Georgian surround on eBay, I went for it.
