Our recent In Conversation With speaks to Mylands, offering expert advice on how to use paint in the successful restoration of period homes. Redecorating presents a wonderful opportunity to add your own touch to your home, however many of us would prefer to skip the renovation process altogether. For those people, we’ve selected five period properties for sale that have already been beautifully restored – from coastal homes to city townhouses.
This seven-bedroom home truly stands out for its exceptional use of colour -from the striking front door to the thoughtfully designed interiors. Soft pastels and vibrant colours give the property a unique flair that enhances its character while creating a fresh, modern twist. 3 Dixwell Road not only offers a stunning aesthetic but also has a prime location just 10 minutes from the beach, allowing you to enjoy the best of coastal living.
With its high ceilings and period features - including a striking winding staircase - we love how this home on St.Matthews Gardens effortlessly incorporates both soft neutrals and vibrant pops of colour. The kitchen, with its solid oak countertops and large island, adds a feeling of luxury - perfect for a family who loves to entertain.
As we see many people moving away from grey palettes in their interior design and instead embracing more deep, neutral tones, Ivy House stands as a fabulous example of this shift. This heritage residence, set over five floors and offering stunning sea views, uses a soft neutral palette, accented with delicate blues which complements its waterside position.
Found just a 10-minute walk from Lewes High Street, 8 Grange Road has been beautifully restored by the current owners, who have expertly used colour throughout. Each space has a unique feel, yet there’s a sense of cohesion that runs through the home. We particularly love the use of pastel-toned wall panelling in the entrance hall, which gives anyone who steps inside an immediate sense of the property’s vibrancy.
Refurbished to turn-key condition throughout, this end-of-terrace townhouse sits in the heart of Chelsea, within The Boston Conservation Area. With four bedrooms, a roof terrace, and a pretty courtyard garden, the architect-designed kitchen area has been decorated in cool tones for a timeless look.
