Those familiar with Lucy Williams’ style know that the British blogger has some great taste.
So when her feed started filling up with images of her home renovation journey, we were waiting with bated breath to peep the end result. Glimpses shared of the progress promised ample interior inspo to admire, and now, with the work done and dusted, we’ve seen more than enough to know she delivered.
Working with architects at Flower Michelin, she explains that the transformation was extensive.
“We extended into the side return and out into the garden, as well as adding a small outrigger bedroom between the first floor and loft,” she told Sheerluxe. “We also took out a chimney breast, turned a bedroom into a bathroom and added a skylight to flood the hallway with daylight. With the rewiring, replumbing, numerous walls moving and one ceiling falling down, it ended up being a bit of a gutting.”
Frankly, all the props to her as our brains hurt just reading that.
As she explained to House & Garden, the trick with decorating was curating a beautiful space without “making a museum of the house.” The first-time renovator revealed that she mostly relied on vintage finds and antiques to furnish the home, admitting to loving the thrill of the hunt as well as feeling that second-hand pieces add more character to a space.
Describing the overall vibes as “warm, layered and eclectic,” the content creator explained that her desire for a homely space that would outlast trends drove the design. “I like spaces to feel really welcoming, comfortable and timeless,” she said. “Sometimes, people think timeless means devoid of colour or quirks, but I disagree. Timeless means sticking to your own taste, ignoring trends and staying true to that vision as much as you can. I love homes where you feel instantly calm, dogs are allowed on the furniture, and there’s lots of bits and pieces that tell you something about who lives there.”
Sharing the home with her husband—whom she only just wedded in a Greek ceremony—and their five-year-old dog, Finn, the home was taken on after they felt they had outgrown their two-bedroom flat down the road. But of course, such a mammoth project—that she admitted went way over budget—required a great deal of stressful planning, sourcing and juggling.
Luckily, we just get to ogle at the end result. Scroll on for all the glimpses we’ve seen of Lucy Williams’ stunning West London abode, as well as some of our shopping picks to get the look.
INSIDE LUCY WILLIAMS HOME
The kitchen by Browson Design is the stuff of our interior dreams, boasting stunning brown marble and showing off Williams’ ever-growing ceramics collection.
This nook that overlooks the garden—complete with a built-in television and plenty of storage—is now a staple of our moodboards.
Mismatched antique chairs contrast beautifully with the modern clean lines of the custom red Beata Heuman pendant light.
The sitting room that joins the blue room and the kitchen is where Williams indulged. “I just wanted to have somewhere where I could have some really nice furniture and not think too practically,” she told The Sunday Times Style.
The room includes two shearling chairs, a cluster of small tables and a bar cupboard, as well as a travertine fireplace and vintage Portuguese rug.
Mushroomy-lilac walls are the perfect backdrop for vintage tiled floors and a deep red banister in the hallway.
Despite a love of colour, the main bedroom has been kept quite neutral.
“I wanted it to be quite calm and zen” she said in a video for The Sunday Times Style.
Somewhat inspired by The Sopranos, Williams also kept her ensuite neutral, allowing the terracotta marble to shine.
