Welcome TO MY HOME

A BIT ABOUT ME

I’m Bo Fentum, an interior designer @bo.fentum.design. I live here with my husband, Michael, a sound designer, and our nine-year-old twin daughters, Alice and Annabel, as well as our British shorthair cat, Rory.

WHERE I LIVE

Our home is a 1970s four-bed, three-storey townhouse in Kingston, south-west London.

WHAT I WANTED TO CHANGE

When we moved in, every room was bland and needed updating. The living areas were most important; we wanted to bring back its mid-century soul that had been lost.

HOW I MADE IT MY OWN

I love a vivid Palm Springs colour palette, which is all about vibrant jewel tones like candy pinks, so this was my starting point with the house. We also knocked down the wall between the living area and kitchen to make it a more sociable space.

MY FAVOURITE PART

With its high wood-clad ceiling, large glazed bi-parting doors and high windows, the living room is my favourite part of the house.

‘I designed the living room to be a social space; large enough to have a party but also feel really cosy. It definitely works in both ways. We’ve had many parties here and it makes a great disco room!’
