This family home in Islington, London brings colour, energy and elegance together in a way that Peter Mikic does best. Original features such as cornicing and the quirky Moorish arched doorway on the top floor landing were restored. A bank of large Crittal windows frames the garden so that it feels part of the living space. Mikic’s choice of dusky pink for the sitting room’s walls provides the perfect contract to the Mary Weatherford neon-lit abstract painting and the original upholstered Larsson armchairs. Mikic worked with local artisans to create bespoke elements such as subtle leather handles for the bathroom cabinet doors and the platinum backed mirror in the reception room, designed by Mikic to “bounce light around the room and feel like a piece of art in itself”.
