In her latest book, English designer Rose Uniacke reveals the updated interiors of her 1860 property in central London’s Pimlico area. The kitchen, unsurprisingly, is at once homely and monastic chic, decorated with carefully selected antiques and an artful layout. Her kitchen/dining room stands out as such a space with original plaster walls, rare Swedish furniture, and a custom curtained kitchen. Here we profile a few of the key details that make up the look.
