The owners of this London house were happy to let designer Stephan Eicker be bold with his schemes for its rooms, which set off their collection of modern art.

  • The pale blue dining room is lit by candlelight from a low-hanging antique French light. A picture by Alexander Calder hangs above the fireplace, in front of which grey ‘Camembert Chairs’ by Howe surround a trestle table by Mike Smedley.
    + Lightbox
  • The small library is a contrast in bold colours. The walls are painted in a bright khaki-ish green called ‘You Call That a Pub’ by Colour Makes People Happy, which sets off the shaggy blue Scandinavian rug. A pair of armchairs in dyed green stripe ticking face a coral pink sofa, while a mirror hangs above the fireplace.

  • The spacious kitchen is decorated in pale grey and white. In the centre of the room, a glass globe pendant light hangs above a farmhouse table, which is surrounded by antique Gustavian chairs, all sitting on rush matting from Rush Matters. The fireplace has a wood panelled surround, while a wooden chair paired with a bureau desk stands to one side.
