Some homes seem perfectly suited to celebration. This London townhouse, belonging to a British–South African couple and their toddler son is a case in point.
On a chilly winter’s day, when dusk falls, the warm glow of table lamps adds depth to the sitting room’s toffee-colored walls and the glint of the Christmas tree’s bronze baubles brings out the room’s oyster pink and terracotta tones. A wide-ranging palette of fabrics and colors – coupled with eclectic art and a largely original layout – lends these schemes a relaxed, evolved feel, but in fact, not so long ago, they featured nothing but white walls and gray carpet.
