4 Designer Danielle Trippett (pictured) converted the back rooms of her Victorian terrace into a light-filled family room. The ceiling has been raised, large windows installed and bi-fold doors open the room to the courtyard. Leather seating is piled with cushions in colours to match the wool and silk run from Designer Rugs. A vintage shell-back chair is upholstered with russet brocade and an Empire stool is covered in tawny boot leather.
