Plascon House Tour: A Modern Rustic Edwardian Villa

Today’s Edwardian Villa in South London is packed with intricate details and loads of character. From the crown mouldings to the panelled interior walls and stylish bay windows. It is a modern rustic family abode.

A gorgeous neutral palette fills the dining space with creamy off-whites, putty and taupe that creates a soothing retreat. Every wall has been carefully clad with panelling – creating a sophisticated Cape Cod interior that is fresh and appealing.

The kitchen takes on a few more rustic design elements but the overall impression is still chic with edge. Elegant finishes such as ornate ceiling details pair well with modern metallic elements in this space. Industrial open shelving, antique wood furniture and a concrete floor add texture and an eclectic vibe here.

A beautiful bay window frames a little seating area at the one end of the kitchen. Here upholstered seats add a soft homely touch. Masculine metal lighting adds a contemporary spin on things. Distressed furniture and a vase of delicate blooms adds a freshness to this area and everything ties in well against a sea of white wall panelling.

The foyer and stairwell too has been full clad from floors to ceiling, offering an ornate and interesting look here. A deep blue tone brings in contrast against the white and a mix of lighting adds flair.

Built-in shelving makes for the perfect spot for a simple yet effective home office space. Ample light filters through this space and decor is kept clean and simple. We love the use of simple framed art and an antique chair that adds to the overall look.

The master bedroom is light and refreshing. With crisp white blinds that tie in well with the panelled walls, the room feels alive and bright – a luxurious retreat. Here it is all about textures – a mix of throws, cotton, wood and even metal in the light fittings add to the overall feel of rustic chic living.
