Among smart, tree-lined Sunderland Terrace, Jette Anderson Interiors has brought a contemporary update to this period home. Behind a stucco façade and portico-fronted door, natural light washes through the open living spaces, illuminating a curated selection of artwork and considered furnishings.
Set up to mimic a gallery, the reception room’s white-toned walls are a canvas for eclectic prints and original masterpieces. A bespoke neon piece above a period fireplace draws the eye, while an expansive sofa is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the surroundings. Full-height French doors that reach up to the three-and-a-half metre ceilings accentuate the sense of space, while parquet floors ground the room. From the reception room, double doors open out onto a generous balcony that overlooks the leafy street below, while a second balcony looks out from the back of the home.
Upstairs, mid-century styling takes over in the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The social space revolves around a large table for eight – an ideal set up for entertaining. The kitchen enjoys a sunny disposition, with tiled sunflower art and a striking blue island-cum-breakfast bar that’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee. A Rangemaster stove and oven adds a chef-like touch paired with a blue Zellige-tiled splashback alongside other state-of-the-art integrated appliances.
Sleeping quarters come with en suites and enjoy the privacy of their own floor. Art-filled walls continue up the stairs. A vaulted ceiling adds dimension to the principal suite where a king-sized bed and built-in storage make for comfortable living. A skylight casts light on the unfloor-heated en suite bathroom’s grey wash walls. The guest bedroom suite enjoys a similar sense of homeliness, with warm-toned textures and an airy en suite shower room.
Interior designer Jette Anderson has ensured that art takes centre stage, with works by Jack Nicholson and Cassandre to Dorothy Mead and Zanele Muholi dotted throughout. Personality and flair radiate through the furnishings and paintings and prints that adorn the walls. Each detail has been carefully curated, from the custom-made stained-glass window in the living room, to the original and sustainably sourced ochre horn handles in the principal bedroom.
