Behind the Elegant Facade of This London Villa Lies an Unexpected Playground of Art, Antiques, and Intrigue

Cream living room with panelled walls and modern furniture, including a brown furry couch, a wooden minimalist bookcase and a cream boucle arm chair.

Walking toward Brigitta Spinocchia Freund’s West London home – along a street lined with elegant Victorian villas – it’s hard to imagine the bold, creative world hidden behind the doors of this celebrated interior designer’s house. Despite the neighborhood’s formal charm, Brigitta’s home is anything but fussy or traditional. Inside, it’s filled with unexpected details, playful surprises, and moments of curiosity (there is literally a 'Curiosity Cabinet' in her library, which displays a mix of family heirlooms and intriguing vintage finds).

The villa, which includes bespoke spaces such as a library, cinema, and swimming pool, reflects Brigitta’s expertise in designing environments that are both elegant and functional. It’s tailored to meet the needs of her family (including three children and three dogs) while also serving as the perfect backdrop for entertaining.
