Tucked away in a characterful townhouse near the banks of the river Leie, Belfast unfolds as a radiant and carefully curated home where Art Deco, classic detailing, vintage finds, and contemporary design merge into a warm, coherent whole. The original 1930s spirit has been gently revived through subtle architectural gestures that whisper of another era.

To brighten the north-facing rooms, crisp white walls form a serene backdrop for bursts of colour in furniture, custom lighting, and art. A sense of wonder pervades the kitchen, where a rebuilt Wunderkammer cabinet in olive and burgundy anchors the space. Every detail is considered: grape-shaped glass handles, a marble countertop, and steel stools at the island, bridging the classical and the Art Deco style with ease.

Upstairs, the master suite exudes quiet luxury with velvet headboards, bespoke rugs, and carefully selected artworks, while the bathroom, draped in gauzy voile curtains, opens onto a view of a nearby chapel. Soft natural light filters through cathedral glass, dancing on curved marble finishes and Art Deco appliqués. The result is an elegant interplay of nostalgia and modernity, where every room tells a layered, textured, and deeply personal story.
