Real Homes… Real Lives… Alisi

Tooting Home Trends
Nov 3 · 3 min read

Alisi has lived in Furzedown for the past 12 years with her husband and 2 children. Being a busy mum doing a PhD in Organisational Anthropology in English general practice at King’s Business School, King’s College London whilst juggling family life means being super-organised, which Alisi certainly is.

This home is warm and welcoming and has a great sunny feel even on the dreariest of days in part due to the bold decision to use yellow rubber flooring in the kitchen-diner - stunning! The yellow continues throughout the ground floor into the living room on bespoke cabinetry giving a cohesive feel. This is a great family home for relaxing, entertaining and socialising with friends.

We have made a few smaller improvements to our home over the past 12 years but have recently undergone a major ground floor house reconstruction - painful but made bearable by Tim Slorick and Helen Dalgleish at Zenico (see previous blog) and fab architect Stephanie Dale of Webster Dale Studio.

As a result of the work, we are loving the new more open-plan ground floor layout; more family space without getting on top of each other. The space works well for us all, with enough room for everyone to socialise but also to have their own space for work or play.

I would describe my interiors style as comfortable, warm and relaxing. I tend not to choose lots of little ‘home accessories’ but books are very important to me. If I had to choose what to save from my house (after my family), it would definitely be books.

At the moment, having had such a big renovation, I would prefer to live in peace so no more projects on the horizon… for now..

If I could have a dream holiday home anywhere in the world, I would choose somewhere in the mountains. A home with lots of space and fantastic mountain views.
