Restoring a heritage home for modern family life

This Grade II listed Italianate Grecian villa near Regent’s Park, built circa 1830, was Katie Harbison Design’s first heritage renovation. The project balanced preservation with modernisation, restoring original features like the staircase and replicating period mouldings and cornices. Incongruous modern elements were replaced with era-appropriate fixtures. A blend of vintage and bespoke pieces created a timeless, layered interior—honouring the home’s history while adapting it to a young family’s contemporary lifestyle.
