If you saw Abigail Warner’s careers feature last Friday and her beautiful (and super organised!) home office then you may have been looking forward to her full home tour. I know I was.
Abi lives in a stunning three bedroom Edwardian terrace in Derbyshire which has a real sense of space, super high ceilings and many original features such as open fireplaces and stained glass.
Abi describes her design and styling philosophy as “A real a mix of designer, high street, artisan and vintage with a muted colour palette of white, grey, black, silver, gold and palest pinks” – which makes for a truly eclectic and unique home. I wanted to move in.
Take a look at the gorgeous imagery in the slider and if anything takes your fancy Abi has kindly listed where you can purchase similar items for your own living space.

My hall makes enough of a statement with the exposed wood and original floor details, so we wanted to keep it totally free of furniture and styled elements with the exception of a vintage standard lamp.
With a feature fireplace, bay window and tall shelves, the lounge is my favourite room. The light in this room in the evening is beautiful and so relaxing. I have chosen white, shades of grey and black as the main colours with a small hint of metallics in the cushions.
My sofa is from DFS {yes really! believe me, they have *some* gorgeous sofa’s you have to look past the dated website and styling} and I am a total cushion obsessive and have mixed and matched lots of textures. My cushions are from Jonathan Adler, Heals, Laura Ashley , John Lewis and the Conran Shop.
Art is all collected since we met, our 4th date was in Paris so there’s a bit of a theme going on!
My dining room is light and airy, framed with french doors and billowing white curtains. Two of the chairs are wooden slated with grey cushioned seat – a wedding present to my parents that have been reupholstered by my lovely mum and the remainder are Eames replicas from John Lewis.
The kitchen is the only room that we steer away from the colour palette and go for a pop of colour with artwork and accessories, the letterpress magnets are from my BFF, Helen who also works with me (along with my lovely super-mum and Rebecca and my extended team of printers and suppliers who help me run my studio).
In the master bedroom I wanted to create a really relaxing space that felt a little more feminine so painted the walls in a soft shade of truffle with soft furnishings in shades of grey and the palest pinks. The bed is from Made.com and the side lamps are from John Lewis.
The necklace frame I made using an old frame, fabric and strung up using wide black ribbon, The drawers were originally generic dark wood and then painted and waxed, the handles were from Bombay Duck.
As you can see in the bathroom I am bit of a product junkie! Cowshed, Neals Yard, Sanctuary, Kevin Murphy, Creme De La Mer, you name it and I’ve tried it!

So much interior pretty my eyes cant cope!!! I WANT to live here!! xx
Thank you so much for you lovely message Helen! xo
Wow, I have serious house envy now! The hallway is amazing.
I take no credit for the hall! – those Edwardians knew a thing or two about what works with interiors xo
Oh my. I am completely in love with this house. That gallery wall in the lounge is perfection. Grey is just so classy. Love love love. xx
I heart grey to the point of being predictable, but you’re so right it looks so classy and like black and white, doesn’t date xo
Absolutely stunning. I’ll take one of everything please x
Haha! that made me smile, thank you lovely lady! xo
One day I will live in a grown up house as pretty as Abbey’s… ONE DAY!
Ha, that was my first thought too… ‘when I grow up, I’ll live in a house like this’.
Haha! love it! come to stay soon! xo
Haha! I still feel like that! come and stay soon gorgeous! xo
Just as I thought, absolute perfection! Cosy, stylish, cute, romantic, minimal – all wrapped into one beautiful Edwardian building. Such a beautifully curated home, the perfect place to relax, work, play and just mooch… I hate living in London right now!!
Thank you so much! love that description and I so love to mooch my darling, you know me! xo
Simply gorgeous!
Thank you so much my darling girl – if you’re ever in the area xo
love this – so much character!
Thank you! I love it too! xo
Currently new house hunting with the husband – my benchmark has been blown out of the water. I want to live here. Definitely saving this post for my redecoration project.
Ooh good luck with the house hunting and make sure you share the redecoration! xo
What a stunning interior! Please design my house!!
Haha! anytime! xo
Love the house, I really want those storage shelves in the alcoves in the living room! Were they there when you moved in? If not were they very costly to put in and did it take a long time? I would live these in our new home when we move! House hunting now! X
They were already built in my darling so can’t advise on cost – but should imagine you could replicate the look professionally – budget depending xo
My lovely talented daughter. The photos are absolutely lovely. I know from first hand experience that you work really hard and so only the best will do and you’ve got it both in your home and dare I say Liam. Just a quick public thank you for the lovely comments of me. XXXX
So sweet mummy xxxx
What a beautiful space. Abigail could i ask if you distressed that rather fabulous kitchen table yourself? I adore!xxx
I didn’t set out to distress it myself! It’s about 16 years old and I painted it white about 10 years ago and over the years, several house moves, living outside for a year, hundreds of dinners, parties and general antics it developed this beaten distressed look xo
or should i say-dining table.either way i love it x
What a pretty house! This has made me rather excited and given me lots of inspiration as we are currently on the process of buying our very own period house. It’s Victorian, so a little different (and lacking that amazing hallway!), but all three bedrooms, the lounge and dining room all have original fireplaces and the high ceilings, original cornicing, picture rails and architrave are LUSH.
Thanks for letting RMS feature your home so we could see it Abigail 🙂
That is the loveliest comment! Make sure you share your renovation project! xo
What a lovely colour pallette. I really like the simple style and eclectic mix, it all looks great and not too staged. The fresh flowers in each room are beautiful too.
Thank you for your lovely comment – I’m definitely not about over styling and I do love my fresh flowers! I get everything from a local florist – The Blossom Tree in Melbourne xo
I have MASSIVE house envy right now! I’ve been round and it really is like that all the time, not just for the photos! Not jealous at all, honest 😉 xxxx
Haha! It’s true! #aplaceforeverything xo
Totally beautiful! It actually does look like this in real life and is always this wonderfully neat!
Haha! poor Liam #neatandtidy xo
I have total house envy. TOTAL.
Don’t. seriously. the daily cobwebs alone could keep me in housekeepers and don’t get me started on keeping the floors clean 😉 xo
Cracking photo’s guys. Great job – was nice to meet you both too.
Cheers, Liam
