The Designer of This Victorian Home Wanted Its Entertaining Space to Feel Like a 'Private Dining Room' in a Restaurant — Here's How It Turned Out

Nestled in the heart of leafy North London, you'll find a Highgate home with interiors anything like the traditional Victorian space you'd expect. Conceived by interior designer Oliver Lyttelton, the house maintains its cozy structure, while the rest has been transformed into a fusion of streamlined Scandinavian style and Space-Age 70s seduction.

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom project was built 20 years ago; however, Oliver's studio has completely transformed it to match both the client's unique personalities and their love for 70s-inspired style. Now, every room is alluring, warm, and strikingly experimental, but the dining room in particular caught my attention. Why? It's intriguingly modern and hits several of today's top dining room trends, yet it still feels inviting and unexplainably timeless.
