Medium Sized and Expansive Eclectic Home Design Photos

The owners of this beautiful Victorian house just a stone throw from Finsbury Park wanted to inject some colour and playfulness into their home. They are both vintage lovers and were keen for us to source accordingly. The couple wanted us to create a memorable space to host guests as well as beautiful and practical bedrooms for them and their daughter.

Nestled in the serene countryside of Surrey, this once tired and uninspiring annexe yearned for a transformation, a revival of colour and purpose. My clients' directive was to convert this neglected space into something truly spectacular, a challenge I eagerly embraced. Having enjoyed many nights out in Mayfair when they lived in London, they tasked me with fashioning a bar that encapsulates the sophisticated allure of the district.

In this room the client wanted a boutique hotel look and feel with bags of colour. I created a colour scheme from the wallpaper we chose to tie the room together using different shades of pink and maroon and there isn’t a shade of white in sight. We kept the existing furniture and came up with a new lighting plan taking away the ‘big light’ (which wasn’t being used) and opted for pendants with individual switches to add a bit of luxury.

Outdoor Kitchen & Lounge Area
To the left of the patio doors is a cube fibreglass planter and bespoke storage shed clad with London Stone DesignBoard deck boards. To the right of this area is a powder coated aluminium water table beside a second cube fibreglass planter, placed to create a focal point from the house interior.
The middle section of the roof garden features a vented powder coated aluminium pergola to provide shelter and shade in all weather. Two fibreglass planters installed down the left-hand side add colour and foliage. A large, low, bench/day bed constructed from DesignBoard decking at the far end of the pergola offers opportunity for seating and sunbathing, with space underneath to store a wooden sandpit on wheels.
There is ample space towards the rear of the terrace for the client to add an L-shaped sofa at a later date. Tall fibreglass planters installed along the parapet on the rear boundary add further colour to the space.
Family & Play Area
The rear section of the garden has been extended by reclaiming land beyond the existing fence. This newly incorporated area will become a dedicated family zone, complete with a swing, trampoline, and plenty of space for additional play equipment.
This thoughtful layout ensures the garden remains beautiful yet functional, appealing to both adults and children – a hallmark of ED Gardens’ approach to family garden design.
Planting Scheme & Finishing Touches
Throughout the garden, a combination of rendered concrete and fibreglass planters in elegant blue tones adds visual interest. These are finished with tile detailing that reflects the colours found in the client’s kitchen – subtle blues, oranges, and neutrals for a unified aesthetic.
The planting scheme features a refreshing blend of purples, whites, and lime greens, with accents of yellow for contrast. Closer to the house, evergreen plants provide structure and year-round appeal, while herbaceous perennials towards the rear add texture and movement.
A bespoke water feature runs through the garden, bringing a sense of calm and continuity that ties each area together beautifully.
Before & After
Before the redesign, the garden felt disjointed and underutilised – particularly the unused section beyond the fence. With ED Gardens’ expertise and bespoke design sketches, the space has been transformed into a contemporary family garden that blends style, comfort, and functionality.
The before and after images illustrate this transformation, showcasing how thoughtful design can completely redefine an outdoor space.

This home, a two bedroom Victorian terraced apartment had lots of character, plenty of space and was situated in. great, central location in Bristol city centre. The home was unoccupied and unfurnished and the length of the bedrooms made it tricky to get a good sense of space when viewing unfurnished photos. We did a full stage of the property and it sold very quickly.

The outlook to the garden, framed by large casement windows, brings nature into the ritual. Bronze tapware adds warmth, while ferns and river stones soften the edges. A daily soak, reimagined.

A unique dining room which was inspired by a dark age watchtower from Snowdonia, Wales. It features a hand painted jacobean style ceiling with deep red curtains, with chapelesque vibes.
