Inside Cheylene's Beautifully Renovated 1893 Victorian Home in North London

Step inside Cheylene's beautifully renovated Victorian terrace in North London - a characterful 1893 home nestled between Highgate Village and Crouch End that proves smart, budget-conscious renovating can be just as transformative as a full rebuild 🏡✨ Purchased in early 2024, this multi-level home sits on a hill, giving it a quirky split-level layout that sets it apart from a typical North London terrace - and stunning panoramic views stretching from Canary Wharf and the Shard all the way to the BT Tower. Rather than opening up the original footprint, Cheylene embraced the home's natural separation of spaces, creating a layout that works perfectly for a busy blended family. The renovation is a masterclass in decorative transformation on a considered budget - from the bold, warm-black music room painted in Coat Paints' 'Record Store', to a statement entryway featuring a period-accurate 'Flower Meadow' wallpaper by 1838 Wall Coverings. Throughout the home, Cheylene's own bespoke paintings complement every room, each created to perfectly suit its space. The kitchen was overhauled without a full renovation - upper cabinets replaced with open shelving, forest green units covered with vinyl and terracotta tile stickers, and a beautiful checkerboard splash back added – all for a fraction of the cost. Upstairs, a serene primary bedroom with original fireplace and William Morris curtains offers a calm sanctuary, while a top-floor mezzanine attic room doubles as an art studio, cinema, and teen gaming zone. If you love character-filled period homes, clever budget renovations and interiors full of personality, this is one you won't want to miss.
