Designed by Woulfe transformed this Hampstead residence into a contemporary family home that balances warmth, elegance and everyday functionality. Natural light, layered textures and carefully curated materials create interiors that feel timeless yet deeply liveable.
Each space has been thoughtfully tailored to support family life, blending calm, neutral foundations with moments of bold expression and tactile finishes. The result is a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming - designed to evolve with the people who wanted a home that supports comfort and style.
A sweeping staircase curves elegantly through the entrance hall, forming a striking architectural focal point from the moment you arrive. Crafted in pale oak with sleek black balustrades, its sculptural form draws the eye upward, creating a sense of movement and drama.
Soft neutral tones and warm timber flooring provide a serene backdrop, while curated artwork and planting introduce depth and personality. This carefully composed arrival sets the tone for the rest of the home - calm, confident and refined, with design features that delight at every turn.
The main living room is designed to feel both luxurious and inviting. Generous seating, soft upholstery and warm textures create spaces that encourage relaxation, while bespoke joinery and integrated shelving bring architecture and clarity.
Artwork plays a central role, adding character and individuality without overwhelming the calm palette. These rooms are designed to adapt effortlessly - equally suited to quiet family moments and entertaining. Each piece of furniture and decorative element is chosen to make the space feel harmonious and comfortable.
The kitchen combines functionality with understated luxury. Dark cabinetry creates contrast against the island at its centre, while subtle brass detailing and upholstered bar stools introduce warmth and tactility.
Designed as both a practical workspace and a social hub, the island allows the kitchen to flex seamlessly between cooking, gathering and entertaining - reinforcing its role as the heart of the home.
Designed for both everyday meals and memorable gatherings, the dining space is anchored by a striking marble table, its swirling tones adding drama and sophistication.
With expansive views onto the garden landscape, the room balances openness with intimacy. Soft seating, natural light and carefully considered proportions create an elegant yet relaxed setting for shared moments.
The spiral staircase forms the architectural centrepiece of the house - a sculptural statement that is as functional as it is dramatic. Its fluid curves guide the eye upward, while natural light flooding the stairwell enhances the play of light and shadow across its elegant form.
This feature anchors the home visually and spatially, reinforcing a strong sense of flow between floors.
The upper-floor landing doubles as a gallery space, where bold artworks enhance the home’s sense of individuality and character. Transitional spaces are treated with the same level of consideration as the main rooms, ensuring continuity throughout.
The circular sweep of the staircase continues to ground the design, while curated art moments ensure even passing spaces feel intentional and uplifting.
The home cinema is unapologetically bold - a cocoon of pattern, colour and texture. Floral wallpaper envelops walls and ceilings alike, creating a jewel-box atmosphere that feels immersive and theatrical.
Plush, richly upholstered seating invites relaxation, while vintage-inspired lighting and a discreet bar area add a glamorous finishing touch. Designed for indulgence and entertainment, this is a space made for memorable evenings at home.
The children’s craft room is a joyful celebration of creativity. A wall-to-wall pinboard proudly displays artwork and crafts, while bespoke joinery ensures the space remains practical and organised.
Soft rugs and generous natural light create an inviting environment for play, learning and imagination - a room designed to grow and adapt alongside the family.
Bathrooms throughout the home offer calming, spa-like retreats. In the principal bathroom, softly plastered walls create an atmosphere of quiet luxury, complemented by a freestanding bath and generous walk-in shower.
Elsewhere, powder rooms embrace bolder finishes. Rich wallpaper, sculptural basins and layered lighting create confident design features, ensuring each bathroom feels like a considered sanctuary.
