Gosia and Anita live on a pretty tree-lined road in the outskirts of London with their three-year-old daughter Josephine. Originally from Poland, the family has lived in this home for 11 years, slowly and lovingly renovating it bit by bit ever since. “Anita is the creative one with crazy ideas everyday. One day she would want me to put up a chandelier she found on the street, another day she would decide she wants to paint the wall pink…” Gosia tells me.

My favorite element in this house is the pink wall in the dining room, filled with plants and ornaments the couple have collected over the years from their travels. It’s such a lovely bright space, perfect for hanging out as a family with their adorable daughter Josephine.

As you take a few steps down into the lounge, it suddenly feels a bit like a club! Gosia is a professional DJ with lots of records, so it’s the perfect space to keep all her equipment, and the couple also came up with the idea of creating a feature wall using soundproof foam tiles. I love finding all these surprises in this house. Who needs to hire a babysitter when you can bring the dance floor into your home?
