Bohemian Blaze

Bohemian Blaze: Greater London

If you’re a minimalist at heart, look away now. This eclectic – some might say eccentric – home is an eye-catching cacophony of wooden artefacts, creamy-coloured macrame and potted plants. It’s packed to the rafters with objets d’art from around the world and things that have been reclaimed and repurposed. And it all sings together quite nicely thanks to the neutral tones. It’s clearly a home that has absorbed a lot of love, from the rough-hewn petrified wood sinks to the intricately carved beds. There’s plenty to marvel at. We love the quirky kitchen with a table which was once a floor, copper sinks and lights suspended from a huge wooden beam. It’s a generous, Victorian home with a large back garden on a quiet street but close to London’s sights. Lewisham DLR and train station is a ten-minute walk away. St. John's train station is a five-minute walk away and from there it’s just six minutes into London Bridge. Nearby there are plenty of pubs, cafes and shops within walking distance.
