Over the course of 2022 many clients went on location at Clay House, the remarkably renovated Victorian terrace in Finsbury Park. Since joining us in February last year, this masterpiece of design has captivated clients with its beautifully flowing spaces and took our top spot as busiest location of 2022!
We look at what makes Clay House so achingly appealing. And we showcase the companies who chose the location for their furniture and homeware shoots.
You can feel a sense of calm contentment and elegant tranquillity in every corner of this exquisite location. Originally a Victorian terrace, its creative owner Louisa Grey has remodelled the layout, added a modern extension and utilised her innovative approach to style.
The use of clay and concrete was pivotal to the design, and the result is an aesthetic that transports you beyond the confines of a London location to warmer continental climates. And clay is a material that photographs beautifully, which, when combined with Louisa’s minimalist design approach and selection of naturally inspired furnishings, provides an interior with endless photoshoot opportunities.
An added feature many clients value is the flexibility of the kitchen space. Louisa designed the area to live holistically, allowing effortless shifts from work to play and everything in between. As a result, you’ll find features such as a moveable kitchen island which you can roll into different positions – even out onto the outside space.
Homes & Gardens utilised the soft colours and delicate features at Clay House for a feature on natural textures and patchwork patterns coming together with a focus on sustainability.
The piece highlights the natural lime-based paint collection from House of Grey, Louisa’s interior design studio, and offers a beautiful introduction to gorgeous furnishings from many fantastic brands.
Barker and Stonehouse are furniture retailers who believe in quality and craftsmanship. With an ethos of buy better, buy once, their sustainable mindset led to being the first furniture retailer to be awarded Carbon Neutral+ status.
