Design Verve, by Veeve

Joyful in its deft juxtapositions in texture and tone, this design-led family home in Clapham presents a visual feast for the eyes from one floor to the next. Sleeping up to nine guests with an expansive garden and a whole host of little extras to keep allcomers entertained, this mercurial family home is moments from leafy Clapham Common with its eponymous Underground station boasting speedy connections to central London...

Understated elegance and eclectic interiors effortlessly combine on the ground floor to showcase this property’s unstinting design flair, starting in a drawing room that espouses relaxation with its velvet soft furnishings, soft accent lighting and marble fireplace. Eye-catching wall art and an antique piano bring an enlightened air to proceedings in the dining room, while a skylight skilfully draws natural light into the sweeping modern kitchen. Prefer your meals a touch al fresco? The kitchen also boasts direct access out to the verdant garden should you succumb to the lure of a lavish barbecue on a clement Clapham evening. There’s plenty of scope for entertaining inside too as you descend into a spacious open-plan basement living area which plays host to a further dining table piano, TV and PlayStation, as well as a vast play area for younger guests to let off steam.

Upstairs, gentle accents of old gold enshrine a sense of peace in the principal suite, a souful mood completed by a slumbrous king-sized bed, characterful antique wardrobe and vibrant Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom. Gloriously geometric wallpaper and elevated garden views add allure to the other first-floor bedroom, comprising a relaxing double bed and large wardrobe. Arched ceilings and clean lines lend a harmonious vibe to the double bedroom on the top floor, while painted furniture brings a playful mood to the fourth bedroom, ideal for children with its bunk beds and bookshelf.

Botanical-themed artwork and vintage Kew Gardens posters may inspire you to explore one of south London’s most enduring attractions in the fifth bedroom, offering a single bed, desk and relaxing views out across the garden. Need to freshen up? All three top-floor bedrooms share a sleek modern bathroom comprising a bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and toilet.
